Could be tomorrow, if the seekers are organised... but I’m still hiding!

If I don’t go for my run soon there will be no chance of finding any one and I’ll have nowhere to hide either ...

Re scoring - I really wouldn’t suggest anything complex, after all it is pretty much a game of luck. I’m thinking of it as like scratchcards or possibly Battleships. Badges fit this game better, at least in its present incarnation.

Scoring would favour the runners who do well in WSW by rewarding those who cover most ground most quickly and so any league would end up being parallel to that.

I’ve been found! Will be out tomorrow morning to try and hunt down anyone who’s left hiding.

And only one of the four corners has been bagged. I thought that would have been to obvious a hiding point

Well done geordiegirl, found in my nerd hole. 😉 must get out in the morning now. Sunday long run, perhaps.

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.
