Are you using GPS to record your routes, Evan?

Even, have you run in the grid area *since* you moved the grid? It will only show activities since the date/time that the location of the activity and the location of the grid matched.

Synge,

I thought I had, but I might not have properly set the home location the first time - i.e. I think I might not have actually clicked on the map. I'm now more confident I've actually set the home location and will see what happens tomorrow after I upload from my watch. Thanks.

have you got a yellow square to denote your chosen hiding place?

minardi, that'll only be possible once Evan has some red squares in his Hide grid to choose from. If I understand him correctly, he hasn't got any red squares.

Please assume my problem was misreading the instructions and failing to actually click on the map and the issue is resolved. I'll post again tomorrow or contact Mr. Fetch if my run doesn't register.

Does it have to be a run or does walking count?

How's it looking now, Evan? Are hiding places beginning to materialise?

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.
