One team surveills an area using wireless webcams and microphones, while another team tries to accomplish goals without being spotted.
The setup
The "cops" team stays in a control room, using an array of surveillance devices to monitor the playing area of the game.
Depending on budget/technical knowhow, these could include:
a simple webcam a webcam which can pan, tilt and maybe zoom under remote control sensors which alert the cops when someone walks along a quiet corridor (which is not visible on camera) a wireless mic a wireless mic mounted on a remote control car (which they can steer by watching it on one of the cameras) a remote control car with both mic and webcam a webcam/mic mounted on a remote control blimp
The opposing team of "subversives" could have anti-surveillance devices, including: laser pointers (for dazzling fixed cams) halogen lanterns (should be bright enough to dazzle cameras temporarily, but battery life will not last the whole game)
Goals
The "subversives" team has a list of missions which it must accomplish.
