Staff suggested game: 

Pillow-fort Capture the Flag
What You Need: Pillows, Blankets, two "flags" (Bandannas, socks, t-shirts, or anything of the sort will work), open space to play. (added bonus items: any foam-dart guns.)

What You Do:

1. Divide the players into two equal teams.
2. Have each team build an awesome Pillow-fort, to hide their flag in, then each team will send players to capture the other team’s flag. Other players should guard your team’s flag.
3. If members of the other team enter your team’s zone, you can tag them and send them to “jail” (a part of your fort where the jailed player will sit out until freed. Players can be freed from jail when a teammate touches them.
4. A team wins by capturing the other team’s flag and taking it back to there Pillow-fort.
