Plain Hunt

Plain Hunt is a rhythm game about English change ringing. You hold one rope in a band of six or eight ringers, and the order of the bells changes every row. Catch the striped sally on the hand-stroke, pull the tail end on the back-stroke, and strike your bell just after the one you follow. The beat stays steady; the order does not. Captain Margaret calls the changes, from call changes to Plain Hunt and Plain Bob, and shouts "Bob!" mid-touch so the lead end changes. Old Walter's tenor always strikes a little late, and the real wind at each tower drifts the rhythm. Strike a touch at 75% or better and it goes on the peal board with your band photo; ring every piece at a tower to travel to the next one. Features: • Ringing engine built on real place notation: rounds, call changes, Plain Hunt, Plain Bob Minor and Major with Bobs • Hand-stroke and back-stroke controls, judged like a striking competition: spot on, clashed, late, missed, wrong stroke • Five towers on the band's tour: a Cotswold village, York Minster, St Paul's Cathedral, Christchurch and Sydney • Live wind at each tower from Open-Meteo changes the timing drift • Chalked method board: trace any bell's line through a method, with or without a Bob • Peal board of your best touches, with photos from your camera or gallery • Ellie's chalk notes show the next row while you learn • Optional weekly practice-night reminder Look to — treble's going.
