HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is chosen as the seeker and covers their eyes against a wall or tree while counting aloud to a set number.

2

While counting happens, everyone else scatters to find hiding spots within an agreed boundary.

3

When the count ends, the seeker calls out that they are coming and begins searching the area.

4

Found players are named out loud and must step out to wait until the round finishes.

5

The last player still hidden becomes the seeker for the next round, or may be declared the winner.
