Our take on Hide and Seek
The central structure is the switch between two roles: one team hides in darkness with traps and closets, while the other searches using a flashlight and keys.
What is Hide and Seek?
Children play a flashlight-based hide-and-seek game with alternating roles.
One group conceals itself in darkness while the other looks for the hidden players, after which they exchange duties. Those hiding manage energy, lives, traps, and closet locks. Those searching must recharge the flashlight and locate keys for opening cabinets. Each side has distinct objectives and resources.
