Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a popular children's game in which one player covers their eyes for a brief period (often counting to 100) while the other players hide. The seeker then opens their eyes and tries to find the hiders; the first one found is the next seeker, and the last is the winner of the round.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The game is played by one player chosen (designated as being "it") closing their eyes and counting to a predetermined number while the other players hide. After reaching this number, the player who is "it" calls "Ready or not, here I come!" and then attempts to locate all concealed players.[1]
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are many variations of this game, and it is commonly played throughout the world. Some variations include complex rules such as time limits, safe zones and tagging.[2]
In popular culture[edit | edit source]
Hide-and-seek is often played in a variety of media, including books, films, and games. It is often used as a metaphor for the idea of the "hidden" or "unseen".[3]
