How to play

One person is blindfolded. This is the harbour patrol. The chairs are spaced to create a harbour entrance. They should be just wide enough apart so that the harbour patrol cannot touch both chairs at the same time. The harbour patrol once blindfolded should be guided to each chair so they know where the harbour entrance is. The submarines, that is everyone else in the game, are lined up at the far end of the room. When they are pointed to, by the game leader, the submarines must try to get into the harbour without being touched by the blindfolded harbour patrol. The winners are those that get through without being caught. The next harbour patrol is normally chosen from one of the successful submarines.
