HOW TO PLAY
1
One player is chosen as the seeker and closes their eyes at a home base while counting aloud to an agreed number.
2
The other players scatter and hide within a set boundary while the counting happens.
3
Once the count finishes, the seeker searches the area and calls out the names of anyone they spot.
4
Hiding players can try to sneak back and touch home base before being seen to earn a safe tag.
5
The last player found, or the first to reach home base unseen, gets to be the seeker for the next round.
