    Do we have to play it in water?
    Community Answer
    Although it is most fun, and probably safest to play it in water, you can play it elsewhere. I have played Marco Polo in a ball pit and on a playground before.

    The players who don't get out will receive a penalty for breaking the rules.

    Do I have to answer when they say Marco?

    Yep! That's how the game is played, and that's how the person saying "Marco" can possibly find you.

  • Question
    Can we play without the other players absolutely having to shout, "Polo?"
    Community Answer
    If the players in Marco Polo are underwater when, "Marco!" is shouted, they do not have to shout "Polo." However, if they are above water and can hear it being called, it is considered cheating if they do not respond.

  • Question
    What if Marco doesn't see that person out of the water?
    Anderson Bridges
    Community Answer
    Polo getting out of the water is cheating, and you automatically win the game.

  • Question
    Are you supposed to hide under water?
    Anderson Bridges
    Community Answer
    You can hide underwater, but that’ll make it hard for Marco to catch you because it’s not easy to understand someone who’s talking underwater. However, this is a great hiding strategy in the game!
