The order is different between the game feed and my notifications. I hit the 3 possible hiding locations in this order: {35, 5} {38, 2} {32, 6}. I believe Fetch has said that the algorithm doesn't distinguish based on when in your activity you encountered the hider (and it only matters when there are multiple hiders and someone finds all of them).

I was in 38,2 as well 🤣.

Doubt there will be a comeback next month as I think I have plantar faciitis.

Me too 😂. As above I think it comes down to who hid there first so looks like well done to Howfar.

HowFar?
Well, getting there first was most unusual for me. I never usually remember to hide until I get the message in my notifications.

Not as unusual as you'd think, on the same statistical principle that means it takes a surprisingly small number of people to have a greater than 50% chance that 2 share a birthday. Especially when we crowd the corners.

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.
