If you think about the game of tag you probably remember your childhood years. Many of us would play in the field, happy and carefree. But have you ever thought about playing this game as an adult? Well, one group of friends not only play it, they have managed to take it to a whole new level, they created an international game of tag, and here’s how it all happened.
Back in 2010, Georgina Wilkinson, a young woman from North-Carolina, met what would become a close group of friends during a student program in China. The gang began an ongoing game of tag and her friend Drew McEwan seems to be one of a few friends who has yet to be ‘got’. "We play in June and December and there’s only one tag each time so we’re done for June now. Our only rules are no backsies (you cant get the person who got you) and you have to immediately leave and run away," Georgina told Unilad.
So, Georgina started planning her trip 6 months before the event, she bought the tickets and planned the entire trip with Drew’s family. The family planned the prank to take place on the day of his niece’s baptism, the only date Georgina could pull it off. She dressed as a gardener and photobombed the family’s picture, once Drew tried to come up to the gardener to ask her to move aside for their photo, Georgina turned around and said ‘you’re it’. Well, and the rest is history!
