Q&A for How to Play Sharks and Minnows

In the original unchanged version, no. But you could change rules, as explained above.

The "seaweed" are the tagged minnows. They have to stay still and try to tag anyone going by without moving from their spots.

It's not a physical game you can touch; just ask a group of people if they want to play.

If the people who are playing agree to it, then yes. The best thing to do is to agree on if tagging someone's shirt counts or not. Have people vote.

Sure!

No. It could be unsafe to have some players start early. Everyone should wait until all of the players are ready.

You need at least 2-3 people. It is better to have 4 or more players. The more people you have, the more fun it will be while playing. If you only have three people, then it will be really boring.

You pick 1 or 2 people to be a shark at the beginning of the game depending on the amount of people playing. 1 shark to 10 minnows is a good ratio.

This isn't a mobile game. You play the game with a group of people in a pool. You can use a lake as well, though.

Either one. They might want to tag other minnows to make them seaweed, or tag sharks and become a minnow again.

You can make up your own rule for that. It says that you can make your own rules in the article, so why not?
