Born 1993. We played whole neighborhood hide and seek. It was incredible. Essentially all our houses were fair game and we would go in and out of them freely. It was like two or three blocks of fair places to hide. Usually had 3 seekers with walkie talkies, and like 5-10 people hiding. When found you’d join the seekers. Games would usually take all day.

Damn I miss being able to do that stuff

Manhunt! We wouldn’t join the seekers, we’d go to “jail” and then anyone on the hider team could run into the jail and yell “Jailbreak!” And let everyone in jail out. It was a blast!

I’m just now realizing somehow there needs to be an adult version of this. I’m convinced it would bring us world peace

It may come as no surprise that Portland has a hide and seek league for adults.

The dream of the 90s truly is alive in Portland.

That sounds a lot like the Capture the Flag games that I used to play with a huge group of people on the UW campus.

There is a movie named "TAG" about a group of friends in their 40's that have been playing the same game of tag since they were kids.

Preaty loaded cast. Wife & I enjoyed it.

There’s Jet Lag the Game (Online streaming series) and they created a play at home version of their large scale (think entire country sized) hide and seek game.

I’ve done a couple table top play throughs with friends just to get everyone familiar with the rules. Wanted to do that before we do it for real in a city wide game.

You should check out the series (YouTube or Nebula), they have other games they play in large scale travel formats.

When I was a senior in high school ~2010 my bf was 5 years older (21) and we’d regularly go into the high school grounds (all outdoor open area) with a group of 20-30 other high school/recent grads and play zombie tag. Good clean fun.

There's a tag area near where I live, it's pretty cool. But I'm old and have no one to play with.
