⚔️ The Sheriff and the Escaped Prisoners – Game Rules & Briefing

🛡 Factions

🔴 Red Team: Atlas Industries (USA flag)
🔵 Blue Team: SKYnet Corp (UN flag)

⭐ Special Roles

👮 Sheriff
Prisoners

📱 Ares Alpha App

All players must use the Ares Alpha app.

Scan in using your Commander’s QR code immediately after the briefing.

The app provides:

  • Live map and box status
  • Real-time teammate positions
  • Active and new missions
  • Spawn zones and controlled areas

💡 Note: The points shown in the app may not reflect the full total, since each box has a maximum limit of points, but it can give an indication of how the game is progressing.

Be ready with your phone and scan quickly.

🏕 Base Areas & Spawn Rules

Each team has a main base, marked in the team’s color and with yellow/black tape.

Main Base Respawn

  • Respawn time: 0 minutes

Secondary Spawn Points

  • Marked as circles in your team color in the app
  • Respawn time: 2 minutes per player

⚠️ All spawn zones are non-combat areas.
No fighting or camping is allowed.

📦 Respawn Rules – Ares Alpha Boxes

If your team controls a box (visible in the app):

  1. Enter the zone (must show your team color in the app)
  2. Move 130 meters away toward your main spawn
  3. Wait 2 minutes
  4. Return to play

Limitations

  • Maximum 2 respawns per zone per life
  • After returning to main spawn, the same zone may be reused if still controlled

Otherwise, use:

  • Another controlled box
  • Secondary spawn
  • Extra spawn
  • Main spawn

Play honestly and use common sense.

⚙️ Box System – ATB / Ares Boxes

Boxes are used to control the field and provide strategic advantages.

How to Capture a Box

  • Open the box
  • Press your team’s color button
  • Follow the instructions inside

Once completed, the box becomes active for your team.

Function

  • Acts as respawn point
  • Generates points

📦 Box Points & Respawn

Each box generates a maximum of 250 points. Once the limit is reached, the box is no longer a valid scoring objective and teams must advance to new boxes to gain additional points.

⚠️ Note: The box still functions as a respawn point even after reaching its point limit.

➡️ Teams are encouraged to push forward and capture new boxes.

🎯 Missions

🗺 Main Mission (more information on site)

  1. 👮 The Sheriff & the Prisoners

Depending on your assigned role, you will assist either the Sheriff or the Prisoners.

👮 Sheriff’s Objective

  • Locate and capture the prisoners
  • Escort them to the jail in Mike Town
  • Secure and defend the jail

🔒 Jail Phase (Win Condition)

When prisoners are captured and brought to the jail:

  • The Sheriff must activate the Ares Box inside the jail
  • A 20-minute countdown timer will begin
  • The opposing team will see the timer in the app and attempt a rescue
  • If the Sheriff’s team successfully defends the jail for 20 minutes, they win the objective
  • The attacking team can win by entering the disarm code into the Ares Box before time expires

⛓ Prisoners’ Objective

  • Avoid capture
  • Locate and retrieve three hidden treasures

📡 Tracker Mechanic

When a prisoner retrieves their first treasure, a tracker is activated.

  • The Sheriff can see the prisoner’s position on the map
  • The position updates every 2–3 minutes, not in real time
  • At times, the signal may be delayed or temporarily lost, meaning the prisoner can disappear from the map for longer periods

This requires the Sheriff to predict movement rather than rely on constant tracking.

⚠️ Only the Sheriff can arrest the prisoners.

  1. 🎯 Ares Targets (ATS Units)
  • Each team must destroy targets in their own team color
  • Each team has 3–4 targets

Objective

All targets must be destroyed at the same time to complete the mission.

Mechanics

  • Destroyed targets will reactivate after 25 minutes
  • Teams have a 25-minute window to eliminate remaining targets

If a target reactivates, it must be destroyed again.

  1. 📦 Black Boxes / Domination Boxes

Represented by ATB boxes.

Capture

  • Press your team’s color button
  • Follow instructions inside the box

Function

  • Generate points
  • Act as respawn locations

Each box generates up to 250 points. Once this limit is reached, teams must move on to capture new boxes to continue scoring, but the box still functions as a respawn point.

⚪ Extra Spawn Points

  • Two extra spawn points are available
  • Marked with red/white tape and purple circles in the app

Activation

  • Requires 2 players from the same team
  • Hold position for 120 seconds

Only one team can use the spawn at a time.

💥 Hit Rules

First Hit

  • Show hit rag
  • Call “Medic!”
  • A medic heals using your bandage

Second Hit

  • Return to spawn
  • Bleed time: 2 minutes (mandatory)

Special Medics

  • Each team has 2–5 Special Medics (marked with red cross)
  • They can revive a player an additional time

  • Return to spawn

⚠️ Safety & Important Rules

  • Always close Ares boxes after use
  • Return all props to main spawn after the game
