IRL Games · Back-to-School 2026
The hardest part is going outside. After that, it's all play.
Four games you can run in a driveway, a backyard, or the strip of grass by the park. Every one is a game your family already half-knows, with one rule changed to make it worth a grown-up's time — and half of them you can run from a chair.

The four games
Each one comes with the full how-to-play, the rule that keeps kids from quitting, and the ways to scale it from one kid to a crew.
Coplay Original
Fetch Quest
The scavenger hunt. Send a kid to find things, they come back with things.
Coplay Twist
Tower Defense
Tin can alley and king of the hill. Knock the thing down, hold the thing.
Coplay Twist
Lava Hopscotch
Hopscotch, crossed with the floor is lava. Two games every kid already knows the rules to.
Coplay Classic
Sardines
Hide and seek, run backwards. One person hides and everybody else searches alone.
🛝
We play games like these in person at our meetup group in the SF Bay Area, and you are welcome to come.
Why these four made the cut
Kids already half-know them
Scavenger hunts, hopscotch, hide and seek. No rules lecture before anyone gets to move — one changed rule does all the work.
The parent has a real role
Quest giver, lava placer, the hider everyone hunts. You run the game instead of refereeing it — and for most of these, from a chair.
Tested by gamer parents
We're two gamer parents who build and play these with our own kids. Every game keeps the thing games do best: nobody sits out for long.
One collection is $5. It opens the whole club for a month.
