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!

Maybe some kind of proportional thing? The more seekers then the more the square has to be run through? Otherwise the poor first seeker might never find anyone.

Or just keep it super simple and the games just last an indeterminate amount of time, short or long. With one day’s notice before the new game, just in case you haven’t hidden yet.

It's probably relatively easy to tip the balance between hiders and seekers to make the game last longer. A 60x60 grid, rather than 40x40 gives 3600 vs 1600 squares, so more than double the number of places to hide. The squares could be bigger (or smaller) too. I don't remember seekers being allowed to ride round on their bikes when I was a kid either ;-)

The first seeker wouldn't find anything on their first outing, they'd just soften some squares up for the kill and maybe all the people who ran through the square could be acknowledged once the 3rd/whatever person had gone through and the hider was "found".

More squares (and a wider area, meaning more people might place their home point well off-centre) would help too :)

But running through the squares only counts after you’ve been found. I think? So the seeker would have to do the same route three times before getting anyone. Slightly wider area (but not too much, please) with slightly smaller squares is the easy option. I like the game though, thanks Fetch :-)

Seems to be working well as it is to me

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.
