"Game rules specify the activity cannot take place during school hours or on school property. Players attempt to locate their opponents at various sites including home, local parks, and other gathering spaces within the community," police said."Students will often hide in odd spots, chase targets through yards and appear suddenly in a vehicle or on foot."

In Gurnee, a group of high school students from another suburb entered a restaurant wearing ski masks and holding water guns that police said resembled firearms. "Two guys came in with hoodies on ski masks and what appeared to be real weapons, so you can imagine the fear… they had no idea what was going on, was it a robbery, was it someone creating an active shooter incident, we don’t know," Det. Shawn Gaylor with the Gurnee Police Department told NBC Chicago.

"The concept is not against the law or a local ordinance. We ask everyone to play safely, use common sense and recognize how players’ actions may be perceived by members of the community," Arlington Heights police wrote in their alert."The unintentional result of participants running throughout the community with a water gun, some often resembling a look-alike firearm, could have deadly consequences.
