Snype turned out to be a Snipe Hunt: a practical joke or fool's errand in which an unsuspecting newcomer is duped into trying to catch an elusive animal called a snipe. The target of the prank is led to an outdoor spot and given instructions for catching the snipe; these often include waiting in the dark and shining a light into an empty bag then throwing breads into it to attract the creature. The others involved in the prank then leave the newcomer alone in the woods to discover the joke.
