HOW TO PLAY

Start here.

YOU’LL NEEDNothing
  1. 1Choose one hider and agree on the boundary and any off-limits spaces.
  2. 2Everyone else counts together while the hider chooses a spot that later finders can join.
  3. 3Search separately. When someone finds the hider, they quietly join the hiding place instead of announcing it.
  4. 4The final searcher to find the group becomes the next hider.

REMIX THE RULES

Complete twists.

Timed sound clueSet a repeating one-minute timer before the search begins. Whenever it sounds, everyone already in the hiding cluster must make the same brief sound once. Searchers continue independently, and each finder silently joins the cluster. The final searcher becomes the first hider in the next round.
