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!

Cool with that. I'll play no matter what because it's a game I can play without it starting to take over my training, unlike WSW.

WSW obsessiveness, it's a real 21st century curse :-)

I missed the start line for Hide and Seek but I like the idea of something that's once per month, as well as being such a group activity. Looking forward to trying it and seeing it evolve.

(and now off to get a bike ride in to get some more points for my WSW multiplayer squares!)

Good suggestion Robertson. Currently it’s fun being seeker, fun being hider, fun being found. What more could anyone want?

A couple of thoughts:

If we start with 1 seeker then there is the risk, as others have mentioned, of them being unable to take part, so perhaps if they have not logged training after the first three days of the month then the 2nd to last person found could automatically become the seeker, etc until someone is out training?

To make the game last longer perhaps there could be a conversion delay from being found to become a seeker, e.g. it could take 3 days to become a fully fledged seeker before you can find others.

I'd just like the possibility of winning. If every square will be checked, then we will be found (it's just a matter of how long).

A limit on finds per activity makes sense. But the multicoloured grid has an aesthetic appeal!

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.
