Senior assassin (sometimes known by other names locally) is a form of the assassin game often played in the United States and Canada between students in 12th grade during their senior year before graduation. The objective of the game is for participating students to "assassinate" or eliminate their target, a fellow participating student, by squirting them with a water gun within a given time period. While rules often vary by school, most games are played bracket-style, with the winner of the game receiving a jackpot prize of all eliminated players' entry fees. Games are not sanctioned by the school, and are not allowed to take place on private property or school grounds during school hours. Despite these precautions, the game has been condemned by some authorities for concerns about player safety and the potential for dangerous reactions from those unfamiliar with the game.
