This game goes on until there is only one person left…maybe you!

Pre-Game Preparations

Once you have caught your target, they must tell you of their target (which will be your next target). We would like you to confirm this with us via email ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) prior to catching your next target. This will continue until the round is over. This process will also happen at the beginning of each round.

If you have lost your clothespin or are in need of a new one, you may find one at the AMS offices.

Please read all the rules for Catch Me If You Can prior to the start of the game.

Here are some funny catches:

“A few of my friends (including my roommate) and I started playing Catch Me If You Can as a bit of a team effort. We'd walk to class together, keep eyes out for suspicious people in the cafe -- we had strategies and everything. Well, yesterday (the first day of CMIYC), my roommate and another friend were in Leonard Cafe scoping out my roommate's first target. He was trapped in a booth across from them, so when my roommate walked over it turned out to be an easy pin. When the guy gave up his target, it turned out to be none other than the friend my roommate was having lunch with! Looks like our strategy fell through. He walked over, sat down, and nonchalantly pinned the friend. So much for teamwork.”
