Schools will hand out game material to children aged 11 and under. This will include a card for the child, a card for a parent/carer and a map. Participating schools begin distributing these to pupils in the week leading up to the game. These must be registered online to join the school team.
Anyone aged 12 and above can collect a card to play with from their local distribution point. When you've collected a card, just create an account online, connect your card to the account and get swiping. Find out where to collect a card in the FAQ section of your local game site.
Adults can help support a school team or join/set up a community team. This could be a team for your local club, workplace or even a big group of friends. Alternatively, you can also choose to play as an individual.
