Ko-cha Game Suggestions

The links below are Ko-cha phone tag games that you can play for free with your friends. Each is complete with objectives, win conditions, rules and tutorials. You only need your phones to play.

If you haven’t played Ko-cha before we strongly suggest that you start with Battle Royale and work your way down this page. As you play each game we will introduce you to more features of Ko-cha.

Final Showdown is the exception. You can jump to that game whenever you like. But always finish with Final Showdown…to set you up for playing Assassin League tomorrow in your real life.

Battle Royale

Everyone out for solo glory. This classic paintball game is best played in a park, woodland, housing estate, hedge maze, shopping centre, crowd, vacant lot...actually anywhere there are people or things to hide behind.

Team Clash

Join forces and target your frenemies as a unit? By selecting skins from different Ko-cha teams you can simplify who you have to target and sort out the scoring at the end.

Capture the flag

Get into the enemy base and get ko-charred with their flag to win. If you get shot on the way, return to your base to respawn.

Flower Power

Your enemies multiply around you, as the infectious Flower turns everyone he ko-chas into more Flowers.

Final Showdown

Finish your session by raiding the kudos from players to unlock Weapons and Skins and rise in the ranks of the Assassin League.

Unofficial Games

Quick Draw

Put on some Enrico Morricone, tuck your phone half into your back pocket and face off a friend. First to ko-cha their opponent obviously scores the point to win. This is the 21st century replacement for the coin toss.

*Top tip: Use ‘Target First’ mode to select your opponent before you ko-cha (by pressing on the blank tab at the top centre of the Viewfinder). This will give you an advantage of precious seconds. To change back to ‘Ko-cha First’ mode press the yellow button at the bottom right corner of your Target Select.

House Tag

Turn your house into a laser tag maze in an instant. Just zero your scores and go for it with as many players as you’ve got. Use the official games above to get you started.

Art Heist

This game is played in a large museum or art gallery. Best for at least 3 teams of 2-4 players, each team represents competing gangs of art thieves fighting over their share of the loot in a Heist. The goal for each team is to locate and correctly target Hold-all ko-chas of their opposition’s art pieces as well as ko-charring their opponents.

To set this up, each team has 30 minutes to photograph 5 art pieces around the museum with their phone's native camera and add them to a WhatsApp group you have set up for the game. Along with each photograph you must provide the information the other teams will need to find the art pieces. This could be a room number they can find on the museum map or some other predetermined method. Each art piece a team chooses cannot share a room with another art piece chosen by that team. When the 30 minutes setup time is up, all teams assemble outside the museum to start the Heist. Ko-chas outside the museum do not count.

The Heist itself lasts an hour, so make sure everyone sets a timer. When the hour is up all teams gather back outside the museum to count up their final scores (art pieces + kills - hits). Highest team score wins.

Being discrete is obviously required in this game. Walk at all times. No self respecting thief is going to be able to show their face in criminal society after being kicked out by museum security for running around making a nuisance of themselves.

The Running Man

This is a headhunter game, where it is everybody on one fugitive player. The aim of the running man (or woman) is to survive a week as a fugitive in their everyday life without being ko-charred by their hunter friends. Safe zones for the fugitive would be their place of work and any locations where they are scheduled to meet any of the hunters that week. If the fugitive makes it to Friday Night without getting ko-charred, all of the hunters shout them drinks or similar on the night of their win. If at any point the fugitive gets ko-charred then the shooter who bagged them becomes the fugitive with the same goal of making it to Friday Night and free drinks. The original fugitive then turns hunter to try and retake their Running Man status. Anyone ko-charred in the game cannot ko-cha anyone else in the game for 1 hour. Hunters can therefore ko-cha each other and play the tactical game to snatch a win.

*Suggestion: If you haven’t read the novella ‘The Running Man’ by Richard Bachman aka Stephen King then you absolutely have to. Totally different from the Schwarzenegger film, it is a miracle that a proper movie hasn’t been made of this yet. 

Geodash

Great for at least 6 players, but the more the better. This game utilises the Geocaching app, so most players will need to have the free version downloaded onto their phones before play commences. Players then meet up at a geocache rich location where nobody has prior knowledge of the geocache locations. Divide into teams and zero all scores. This game is most fun played in pairs, but single player teams are fine if you don’t have enough players.

The aim is to capture a Hold-all ko-cha of the geocache containers within a predetermined area as well as ko-charring your opponents. Target your Hold-all ko-chas at whichever player you want to lose the point.

Play for an hour. At the end of the agreed  time each team adds up their score, subtracting their hits from their kills (including Hold-all ko-chas). Highest team score wins.

Poacher and Gamekeeper

This game is perfect for school trips to the zoo. Gamekeepers outnumber poachers 3:1. The poachers have to ‘collect’ specific endangered species. You do this by ko-charring each animal on an agreed list (1 point for each type). Gamekeepers have to stop this by ko-charring the Poachers (each gamekeeper ko-cha is worth 3 points). Poachers can fight back, but there’s no honour in it (so each poacher ko-cha is worth only 1 point).

Play for an agreed time. At the end of the game all players add up their scores according to the scoring system above. Subtract your hits from your kills to get your final score. Highest individual score wins.

When you come up with games of your own please send details with photos of you playing via our social channels or to us direct via dave@ko-cha.com. The best will be included in our Game Suggestions and be rewarded with in-app Weapons and Skins.

Peace and Happy Hunting!
