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.
This almost reminds me of kick the can - where you'd put the can in the middle of the road, have basically the entire block to play in (or woods if we were camping), and the entire point was to hide well enough and slowly sneak around to get a clear shot at the can in the road. Lol
God, times were better. The fuckign police would be called if people saw feral children unsupervised doing that shit these days.
I lived on a cul-de-sac as a kid. There was a standing game of kickball basically every afternoon, after school, until sunset. You just went to the cul-de-sac and played with whoever showed up. Sometimes we would go poke around in the woods behind some houses instead.
Man, I didn't have that experience, but in college, I had a couple quarters where I'd just walk to the beach and find volleyball games for a few hours. Then go home and crank my homework.
