Street Wars is a 3 week long, 24 hour a day, 7 days a week water gun assassination tournament set to take place next in Los Angeles. Similar tournaments have already taken place in cities like New York, Vancouver, and San Francisco. At the start of the tournaments each participant receives an envelope that contains a picture of your target along with their home address, work address, name, and contact information. Once you've gotten your target's info it's your responsibility to hunt them down and take them out using a water gun, water balloon, or super soaker. Some assassins pose as delivery people, others disguise themselves as bums on the street-regardless of how you get to your target, your only mission is to make sure they get hit. Once you're successful in your assassination attempt, you get your targets envelope, and the person they were supposed to take out becomes your new target. This process continues until you work yourself through all of the participants and end up with your own envelope.

So if you're the kind of person who likes a challenge, look for Street Wars to come to your town. But know that you have to be 18 years old and live or work near the area of play. You also have to be available to pick up your assignment in person and make at least one attempt on your target per week. If you're gone for a week or don't get out, you will be disqualified. As a Street Wars participant you have the options of signing up as a team (up to five people) or as a solo assassin.

Street Wars does employ safe zones, namely the block around your work. People can't be shot in their offices or at the door to their office building. For those of you who work at home, you forfeit a work safe zone. Buses, bus stops, and the inside of cafes are also safe zones. Since LA is so huge, Street Wars has employed only certain areas for play-the idea being that you have to live or work close to the area in order to participate. You also may be required to do some traveling in order to assassinate your target, so plan on getting some exercise.
