Apologies if this has been answered before, but how big is a square (or the whole grid) in this game?

So I asked this question earlier but I haven't had anything happen yet? I hid in April, so I have to hide again or something?

The game generates a big three mile square with you at the centre. The square is cut into a grid of 1600 smaller squares. Instructions and link on right.

Bonners - you're hiding. You haven't been found.

When the first game kicks off (1st May), 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.

During May, 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.

Yup, I did all that but I can't see where I'm hidden, I presume I hid in April?

Bonners if you go on the seek tab on the game page is there a yellow square (look closely, it may not be immediately obvious depending on your map). If so that is where you are hiding. The grey squares on this tab are where the seekers have been so far today. If you don’t have a yellow square I guess you didn’t hide.

I'm still hidden but I'm amazed by how quickly the grid is filling up with the seekers activity. Fetch was originally going to make the grid much bigger and I wonder if he'll have to revert to that plan to keep a single game going for more than a few days.

Fun though isn't it? :-)

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.
