what is hide and seek?

Question

is it a game? if it is .. so how to play it

Answer 1

Hide and seek (sometimes also called hide and go seek) is a popular tag variant that is best played in areas with lots of potential hiding spots, such as a forest or a large house.

The game starts with all players in a central location. One player is given the designation of "it". There are two portions to the game: the hiding - all the players, except "it", locate a place in which to hide, and the seeking - "it" attempts to locate at least one of the players. The overall objective is to not be discovered by "it".

The hiding portion of the game begins with "it" using some method to avoid seeing the other players (covering eyes, turning away from the direction of the players, etc.), while counting out loud for a predetermined number of seconds, often with the aid of a word that takes about one second to say (e.g., "one-alligator, two-alligator . . ." or "one-Mississippi, two-Mississippi . . ."). Meanwhile, the other players scatter to locate a place to hide. When the counting is completed "it" usually announces the start of the seeking portion by shouting a phrase such as "Ready or not, here I come!". "It" then begins a search for the hiding players. In some variations players may move to other hiding spots while "it" isn't looking, and those who can remain hidden the longest are considered the best players. The next game's "it" is usually the first player to be found. Alternatively, the players can agree that the last person to be discovered will become the next "it".
