HOW IT WORKS

One team disappears. Everyone else hunts it across the city.

  1. 01

    Play area

    Together you set the play area and game size: one neighbourhood, the whole city or the entire transit network.

  2. 02

    Head start

    The hiders get a 30–60 minute head start, set off by bus and train and pick a hiding zone. The seekers wait at the start.

  3. 03

    The hunt

    The seekers fan out and narrow down the area with questions until only a few stations are left on the map.

  4. 04

    Found

    As soon as the seekers spot the hiders, the clock stops. Swap roles. Whoever stayed hidden longest wins.

RULES

Everything you need to know before you start.

Click a rule to expand it.

01 Play area

Before you start, agree on the play area together, e.g. your transit fare zone or one neighbourhood.

02 Transit and walking only

Everyone moves by public transport and on foot only. No cars, no taxis, no rental bikes.

03 The hiding zone

After the head start, the hiders stay in their zone, a fixed radius around their chosen station. Leave the zone and you’re out.

04 Asking questions

The seekers may ask questions. The hiders must answer truthfully. Every answer narrows down the possible area.

05 Found means found

The round ends when the seekers see the hiders in their zone and speak to them. Note down the time.

06 Scoring

Every team hides once. The team with the longest hiding time wins.
