HOW TO PLAY
1

Choose one player to be "it" by any fair method.

2

Agree on play area boundaries and a base where the seeker counts.

3

The seeker closes their eyes and counts aloud (often to 30 or 50) while others hide.

4

After counting, the seeker calls out and begins searching.

5

Found players are tagged out, or race back to base without being caught, per house rules.

6

The first player found becomes "it" for the next round.
