Game Mode: 'Cookie Jar'

[Here's an example of 'Cookie Jar' toward the end of the video]


Cookie Jar is a capture-the-flag-type game.

Players split into 2 teams with a container at each spawn point. There is also a container in the middle of the field filled with coins. The object of the game is to grab coins from the middle and drop them off at your spawn point. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

There are 3 types of coins, each with different values:

  • Large platinum = 3 points
  • Diamond rings = 2 points
  • Gold coins = 1 point

***Players may carry only ONE coin at a time***

If you're hit, tag your spawn point and you're back in the game. If you're hit while holding a coin, drop it back in the middle container and go back to spawn.

There are a couple of variations to the game:
  • Game is over after a time-limit
  • Game is over after a certain number of points

And last but not least, here are some strategies:
  • Suppress the enemy when going for the gold
  • Have someone 'lock down' the box when the rest of your team is out / going to base
  • Control the high ground
  • Teamwork is critical
