Mt. Zion PD warns of ‘Senior Assassin' game, provides safety tips
MT. ZION, Ill. (WCIA) — The Mt. Zion Police Department and Mt. Zion High School are warning students that participating in a popular game that runs through an app could have 'negative outcomes' in both the school and the community. The police department said the game is called 'Senior Assassin,' and involves high school seniors chasing each other around town with water guns. The game involves an app called 'Splashin.' Participants stalk and shoot each other with water guns in an attempt to be the last senior standing to win. Macon Co. election judge prep honing in on double voters Because the game involves hiding, and sneaking around, the Mt. Zion Police Department said there may be calls to the police and/ or the school, reporting suspicious subjects that turn out to be students playing the game. The police department said the safest thing students could do it not play. But, if they decide to play anyways, here are a couple of reminders: School property is off limits. The school has a policy which prohibits weapons (including fake weapons) and if played on school property, disciplinary consequences will occur. The game should not be played on other school's property. Students should not talk about the game, or 'killing,' 'targeting' or 'assassinating' other students in the school building. Students should also not be on the app in the school. If any actions taken during the game make a student feel uncomfortable or unable to participate in school, Mt. Zion may investigate and issue disciplinary actions. Don't trespass on other people's property. If you choose to play, use brightly colored, large water pistols that are clearly toys. If you see the police coming, don't run or hide. Mt. Zion Police said to explain to the officers what you are doing, and cooperate if they ask you to stop. The Mt. Zion Police Department and Mt. Zion High School added that they do not condone the game. Several other school districts and police departments in Illinois have had issues with the game, including Fisher, Itasca and Champaign last year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
