Question

What if people get too close to the wolf and the wolf doesn't say "lunch time"?

Community Answer

The people continue going forward and past the fox, but this makes it easier for the wolf to catch you. The wolf should call "lunch time" before people get too close.

Question

My 17-year-old son keeps playing this with his friends every weekend at my home. These friends of his are around the ages of 10-12. Does this have any sexual meaning?

Community Answer

Any children's game could be altered to include something inappropriate, but there is nothing inherently sexual about this one. If you're worried, perhaps you shouldn't let your son play with these younger children unsupervised.

Question

What happens if Mr. Wolf keeps calling time and forgets to call lunchtime?

Community Answer

The people who continue going past the wolf will be easier to catch, but it doesn't alter gameplay in any way. The wolf should call lunchtime when players are close, though.

Question

Can I say other things other than the time? (e.g. "What time is it, Mr Wolf?" "Time to go to bed!")

Top Answerer

Yes. You can alter the ending. "Lunch time" or "dinner time" are typical as it implies the wolf eating the player, but you can change it if you want, as long as it's made clear when you should run.
