How to Win at Hide & Seek

"Ready or not, here I come!" These words are a last warning to anyone finding a hiding spot that the game of Hide and Seek has begun. At this moment, the seeker has opened his eyes and has started to look for potential hiders. Under the bed, behind a closet door or behind the shower curtain are places where the seeker may be looking. Outsmart the seeker with a good hiding spot to win the game. Or outsmart the hider by finding her in an unusual spot.

Instructions

The Seeker
- 1
  Listen for any sounds or muffled noises, including while players choose their hiding spot. This may lead you to a hider. Walking around quietly will help you pick up these sounds.
- 2
  Look everywhere that is accessible and not accessible. Don't be afraid to move things around and really look. Don't just glance in a closet because someone may be hiding where you can't see them right away. For example, a pile of clothes in a closet may make a good hiding spot, so move the clothes around to make sure nobody is under them.
- 3
  Think about the size of the player and where the possible spots are that she could be hiding. Could she fit in smaller cupboards, or is a bathtub more the right size?
The Hider
- 4
  Get to a spot as quickly as possible. This way you can establish yourself in the hiding spot and not give out clues to the seeker if you are still rustling around after he has started looking.
- 5
  Stay as quiet as possible. The quieter you are, the harder it will be for the seeker to find you. This includes being quiet while getting into your hiding spot. You don't want to give anything away while the seeker is still counting.
- 6
  Think outside the box. Don't just hide under the bed, but hide behind items that may be under the bed with you.
