Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hopefully a fairly easy question - it's only squares explored by people once they've become seekers that count for seeking purposes, right?

So if I start as a hider, any activities I log in the grid just go to building my potential hiding places for the next month, if/when i'm found any squares I log activity in subsequently will count for seeking as well as for my own future hiding potential?

Ah I have only just registered and my runs have all been done for the month (poorly foot) I guess I could log a walk maybe but it will limit my squares, maybe I will have to hide in June :) thanks all

You could 'hide' there. If that means you get found quickly then you get to play seeker with Fetch sooner - better than waiting a month to join in?

Raemond - makes sense to me but will wait for something more definitive

I could indeed.... so if I have a red square does that mean I am now in hiding?

Rae - yes. Any squares you visit during the month are eligible for hiding in next month. But only squares you visit *as* a seeker are checked for other players. At least... that's the plan :-)

GG - you have to choose a square by clicking it. It should turn yellow.

The difficulty I’ve had when choosing a spot is getting over the fact that I might find it a difficult square to get to, but it could very easily be on someone’s default route!

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.
