Ways to play

Summary

In short Dog Pound supports several different playstyles, so the group decides what kind of session it is.

Nothing forces every session to be a serious escape attempt. The group can steer the game in any direction they agree on.

Escape run　dogs try to get out while guards try to stop them
Roleplay story　players act out a narrative set inside or around the pound
Chase game　guards and dogs treat the whole map as a tag-style pursuit
Sandbox hangout　players ignore the escape goal and just chat and interact
