Sigh
I have re-hidden yesterday, after my long run increased the number of squares visited in the month. It'll probably be my undoing, as it normally is!

Thanks for the reminder, I hadn’t hidden.

I had completely forgotten to hide, but I'm tucked away now :)

I've tried to improve my chances of getting to do some seeking by hiding in a place you can get to by road, footpath, or water.

I was thinking about hiding in the local pool, given it's still empty of water and no-one's been near it for 6 months now!

Good reminder.

Here's my Hide & Seek grid on Day 28! It appears I haven't been active in my grid this month. I think I may need to go for a run today. (I've moved the grid for the purposes of the screenshot, I don't really live in the sea.)



I think I've just worked out why I have now lost five WSW games on the trot for the first time ever!

I have a minor problem... I signed up for October but I will be away from 9-30th then in quarantine. Shall I just play for the first 8 days or can I move the grid?

it'll all be over by then... you can just hide in somewhere you nab in days 1-8.

You can move the grid as much as you want. But we haven't ever lasted 8 days anyway!

But you can also move the grid. (Unless Fetch changes the rules this month)

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.
