There We Go Again- Dormbattle 2022!  Help Me! 
Image

... And neither will our yearly event. At least not as long as I have a say. So here we are!
For our new snakes and those who have never participated: What the hell am I talking about?
Let me explain: the dormbattles are my invention from year one. Every year Opeila calls the Slytherins together to play a game, so far always with their dormmates as team. I moderate those events and now that I finally got some money, I can also offer prizes (No, not brooms, nor invisibility cloaks, I have money, but I am not that rich).
The battle last year was a scavenger hunt in which Gryffindor participated as well, the year before it was a pillowfight in the common room.
Requirements?
Not really! You need to have registered for the index (not approved, but registered, so you have picked your stats). You can be any year, any age, have any amount of spells- Yes, I do try to make the games first year friendly but I also don't want to limit older students too much, so spells are often allowed, they are just not the only possibility to participate.
You should also be in a dorm. You can find the different dorms in the boys'/girls' dormitory forum.
Last year I picked a game, this year I'll let you pick. Please give me suggestions!
I have some too.
-Werewolf (The card game? You know it? No? Ok, here you go) I will have to figure out how I'll moderate this, but I have a vague idea at least
-Hidechase (Basically hide and seek but once you were found, the seeker also has to catch you) We would play this on the grounds

-Any sort of tag, we can do all kinds of variations really

-Human Chess (Yes, we basically just play chess with humans XD Let's see if this works with the number of participants)

-Prison Escape (This game is a bit like garbage hunting but I think it's fun to play. There will be hints again. But it's not a different clue for everyone, all teams will advance with a clue and there will be some false clues as well. The team that finds the last password correct will escape from jail.) -Suggested by Dancelos Grey

-Escape Rooms (Teams will have various rooms they must go into and solve the many puzzles in, using intellect and teamwork to solve the room and find the next one to go to and solve until they reach the final room.
Each room will have one or more gimmicks, such as a team member being bound until the room is solved, one or more or all being silenced or muffled until the room is solved, the entire thing in the dark, all members being deaf for the room, colorblindness, ect. The team who reaches their final room and solves it first
wins.) -Suggested by Dan Palmer

There We Go Again- Dormbattle 2022!  Help Me! 
Name: Food fight
Game Idea: It started out as a feast that was being held in the courtyard as a picnic, but the food looked too good not to be thrown or Flipendo-ed upon the faces of our comrades.
Game Explanation: Food sizes vary from large (pie, turkey leg) to small (cupcakes) to wet (soup). Varying sizes of food require various strength(?) rolls. The rest is accuracy vs. evasion. Be careful, some of this food is hot. If you're hurt, feel free to try the available juices/colas, some of which are spiked with the Cure for Boils, and others with the Babbling Potion.

The idea is great but I am not sure how we would do that as a dormbattle thing, because from what you said this sounds like you want this to happen without being planned. But the dormbattle is a planned event IC too and a courtyard picnic does not fit in there. And planning a food fight IC is something I can't really see happening.
But independent from the battle I think that could be a fun idea!

Not necessarily an idea, but I have played an online forum based game of werewolf twice before, (and it was harry potter themed if we wanted to take that route!) and I would be happy to help you with a way it can work!
