Squares you cover THIS month you can hide in, ready to be discovered NEXT month. Once discovered you become a seeker so can uncover people.

So if you’ve only just joined you won’t be able to seek until next month.

Last months winner is the first seeker this month.

It becomes clearer, honestly!

Ah, ok. So when it says at the top of the hide board 0 squares explored in June that's ok cos I'm not playing yet?

It should be showing squares for June - it might be that your hiding big square isn’t in the same place as where you’ve been running?

It's because the seeker (NDW this month) hasn't logged a run yet. You are playing by hiding, but no one has gone looking for you yet.

It should be showing squares explored in June though - if you click on the hide tab do you get something like this?

has your run pinged through on anything else (or is visible in your training log) and I guess your device is GPS enabled? Failing that, maybe ask Fetch?

Yes the run is listed in my training JenHB, maybe I'll trim it a smidge and see if I can retrigger it somehow

the only other thought I've got is did you register before you ran? If so there may be something about timestamps on things....

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.
