Lville Splash 2026: Official Rules

Welcome to the game. You have one target to splash, and one hunter tracking you. Stay dry, stay smart, and play fair.

The Fundamentals

  • Identify Your Target: Log in to https://lawrenceville-splash.vercel.app/ to see who you're hunting.
  • Eliminations: Once you are splashed, you must surrender your Splash Code (found on the website) to your hunter immediately.
  • Gear: Only official Splash bottles and blasters are permitted. Stealing, grabbing, or blocking another player's equipment is strictly prohibited and may result in DQ.

Safe Zones & "No-Splash" Rules

Splashing is strictly prohibited in the following areas and scenarios:

  • Indoors: No splashing inside any building or within 5 feet of any campus door (car doors are fair game).
  • Academic & Official Events: Including community service, performing arts, campus tours, athletic practices/games (during coach-set hours), and religious services.
  • Restricted Areas: Construction zones, Main Street, and faculty housing.
  • Conduct: Running indoors or splashing non-participants/wrong targets will result in a DQ.
  • During Splash Pauses

Game Rounds

  • Main Round: Standard gameplay. No time constraints on eliminations.
  • 24-Hour Rounds (May 7-May 13): If you don't eliminate your target within 24 hours, you are out. (Note: Sunday, May 10 is excluded).

Special Abilities

Keep your eyes peeled! Ability Codes are hidden across campus. Enter them on the website to unlock:

  • Temporary Immunity: This code grants you a 24-hour window of protection, but it comes with a specific "handshake" rule:
    • If you are splashed while immune, you must give your Splash Code to the hunter. When they enter it, the system recognizes your immunity; they receive a new target, and you stay in the game.
    • Immunity expires after 24 hours OR immediately after you are splashed, whichever comes first.
    • You must activate the code on the website before the splash occurs. You cannot "retroactively" use immunity after being tagged.
    • You are allowed to lie and claim you have immunity to deter hunters. However, if you are bluffing and get splashed, you are eliminated as normal.
  • Revival: This code allows you to revive yourself or a friend. It can be used after you are eliminated from the game.
  • Target Swap: This code will allow you to switch either the person who has you as their target or who your target is.

Code of Conduct & Disqualifications

Splash Ops and faculty maintain a zero-tolerance policy for:

  • Cheating or Bribery: Exchanging money or misleading adults.
  • Rule Breaking: Missing school commitments or breaking campus rules.
  • Disputes: All DQs are immediate. Dean Olson will manage any disqualifications in dispute.
