ding dong ditch
Ring and flee
Ding dong ditch is a childhood prank where someone rings a doorbell and runs away before the resident can answer.
The game goes by many regional names—knock knock ginger, nicky nicky nine doors, doorbell ditch—but the concept is universal: ring, flee, hide, watch.
We used to play ding dong ditch on Halloween.
