Even if Fetch doesn’t get it sorted for 4 weeks we should still be finished in time for August!

Given they've hidden they must have sorted it, but the screen shot Beanie shared had the 'seek' grid which may have been the issue? As that wouldn't have shown their hiding square until the next month (so now).

Has anyone actually sent him any feedback? He may be blissfully unaware (although I doubt it). On the other hand we don't want to inundate him.

I'm sure there is some alert mechanism at Fetch Towers that goes off when there is a significant rise in activity on any given forum...this probably triggers a response which involves sliding down a pole

Oh no I’ve been re-hidden in my old hidey hole. Hopefully fetch sorts it soon.

:-) We should definitely try to trigger that on a thread. I'll start a new one. Give me 5 minutes and then all pile on and see if Fetch comes hurtling down his pole!

Went to check if my hiding position had moved from what I’d selected to the same as last months after coming in from a run this morning. Confusingly the grid has reset to just show this mornings run with no hiding position shown? Is this right?

Your hiding place will now be a yellow square on the seek tab. The hide tab will be creating locations for you to hide in for next month's game.

Snoot, your current hiding position (ie the one you chose in June for the July game) should now be marked by a yellow box on the Seeker grid.

Your next month's hiding position (ie set in July, applies for the August game) will only be set when you choose a place you have run in this month on the Hider grid.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
Here's the barebones of the new game:

fetcheveryone.com/hideandseek.php

How it works
The game generates a big three mile square with you at the centre. The square is cut into a grid of 1600 smaller squares.

During any given, unlock as many squares from your grid as possible (C19 permitting) by visiting them during your training. These are the places where you can 'hide'. Before the month is up, you must choose one of these squares as your hiding place.

When the first game kicks off (1st of the month), a lone seeker must start finding people, by visiting the squares. When someone is found, they become a seeker too. The seekers can then collaborate to flush out the hiders, and a growing army of seekers hunt down the final hiders.

The last person to be found will become the seeker for the following month.

IMPORTANT
I am still building the game. Keep following this thread for updates as I make them.
