“Red Light, Green Light” in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6) is a popular custom mini-game mode that originated in the community. This mode draws inspiration from the traditional children’s game, where players can only move on a “green light” and must remain still during a “red light.” Here’s how you can play or set up Red Light, Green Light in BO6:

How to Set Up & Play Red Light, Green Light in BO6:

1. Custom Game Lobby: Start by creating a private or custom game lobby in BO6. Choose an open map with clear sightlines and obstacles to make the game fun.
2. Select Roles: Assign one player as the “Caller” or “Referee.” This player announces “green light” and “red light.” The rest are runners trying to reach a designated finish line.

Game Rules:– When “green light” is called, runners try to advance toward the goal line. – When “red light” is called, all runners must freeze on the spot. – If the Caller spots anyone moving during “red light,” that player is out and must spectate or return to the starting line, depending on your house rules.

As a designer, I love gamifying spaces—even in virtual worlds.
