Pool Yard

seed current version v0.1

A possible backyard map where a family pool, cover, Slip 'N Slide, hose bib, bubbles, grass, and pavement manufacture tactical lanes.

Fixture manifest

Legend

The pool owns the center. The hose bib owns the edge. Between them, a bright plastic slide and a cloud of bubbles turn a normal yard into a battlefield kids would immediately understand.

Suburb

Every named object comes from recognizable summer-yard equipment. Its proposed gameplay properties are still hypotheses; none should be read as implemented because the object appears in this dossier.

Current draft

Pool Yard is a possible battlefield, not a scheduled map. A family pool divides the yard, the cover creates suspicious geometry, the Slip 'N Slide fixes a wet lane in place, and the bubble machine creates a temporary concealment pocket. Grass and pavement keep the composition tied to an ordinary backyard.

Why this possibility exists

The Meijer scouting pass revealed a coherent map kit rather than a pile of unrelated props. Pool Yard records that composition while dive rings, floating coolers, dinosaur play centers, and ride-on toys remain source notes.

Still unresolved

  • Whether a kiddie pool substitutes for or appears alongside the family pool.
  • Whether the pool cover is readable enough to be fair as a trap.
  • Whether the bubble machine is a permanent map fixture or a destroyable objective.
