Seniors across the country are participating in a fun and adrenaline pumping tradition called Senior Assassin. This game has grown more and more popular within recent years.

Students are tasked with “eliminating” their targets with a water gun while trying to avoid being eliminated themselves.

Players can stay safe from elimination while wearing a floaty or goggles. While rules differ from school to school, depending on the students running the game, many schools are considered safe zones, so the game cannot take place on campus. This rule eases the concern of the game being distracting at school.

Senior Assassin is an exciting way for seniors to lighten up their last year of high school and fully indulge themselves into new experiences, bond with classmates, and connect on a deeper level before everyone heads off for college. It’s a well deserved break from stressors like final exams and impending college decisions.

Senior Assassin is not just a game, but a chance to connect, laugh, and relish in their final moments as high school seniors. The game itself has become a forward to participating in. The game creates memories that stick and give students a chance to be a part of something unforgettable.

To add to the excitement and raise the stakes, many schools add a cash prize for the winner, encouraging strategic eliminations.

While winning is a motivating factor, for many seniors it’s about celebrating the end of their high school years with a little friendly competition.

The spontaneous water gun standoffs, whispered strategies, and laughs shared are all part of what make this game so special. Capturing the final moments of carefree youth, Senior Assassin contributes to the last bit of joy of being young and silly before stepping off into college and adulthood.
