Often found played in the US, here are the rules to the drinking game "The Chicken Chase" (also known as One Giant Chicken) - a game Chicken Rush was heavily inspired by.
Everyone puts some money in a pot, usually $10-20.
Draw names out of a hat to form teams, with the last name donning a giant chicken costume.
If you decline the honour, there is a forfeit of the group's choice.
The Chicken gets the pot of money, buys everyone a drink, and goes to secure a pub or bar within the pre-determined boundaries of play. No entry fee or food-only venues allowed!
All teams must finish their first drink before departing the starting pub in search of the chicken.
The Chicken drinks through the pot of money and must answer all queries with "What chicken costume?"
When a team finds the Chicken, they get to join in drinking through the pot of money.
The Chicken may post clues on a group chat at any time and must do so 30 minutes after the penultimate team has found the Chicken.
It's also known as One Giant Chicken, The Fox Hunt, Où Est Le Poulet, The Duck Hunt and many others... Including Chicken Rush.
Our theory is that all these games likely originated from Shrewsbury, UK - where schoolboys hunted someone called the "hare" leaving a trail of paper. Those schoolboys grew up, had the bright idea to hide in a pub one day... and the rest is history.
Honourable mention to the Hashed House Harriers that helped spread the idea of hunting friends while drinking.
Chicken Rush is a supercharged version of The Chicken Chase with GPS tracking, live maps, and explosive weapons.
