I moved across the country when I was younger after a hide and seek game with some friends. 30+ years later and they still haven't found me!

[–] astraeus@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Oof this one just hits too close to home, or at least what I used to call home

Jokes aside, I'd enjoy watching competitive versions of hide and seek, tag, and capture the flag. That last one would be especially good with NFL-style overhead cameras and video game-style minimaps.

Check out World Chase Tag league. Pretty cool to watch.

I think a pro hide and seek would be fun to watch, imagine how intense it would be when a seeker is close to a hider, watching the hider try and remain calm to not be found haha.

in video games they have prop hunt which is hilarious to watch for a bit

Not technically professional since it's the Olympics, but here.

Monty python did this joke as a sketch.

No, literally a (joke, obviously) game of Olympic hide and seek.

[–] Maultasche@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like I'll have to watch the entire box set again.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, if you don't want to watch it all again (why would you not want that?), somebody posted a link to the sketch on the discussion.

I recently got the complete Blu Ray remaster and was planning to rewatch it anyway. Now I only need to get the DVD of the two German episodes for the full rewatch.

Spoiler: it was the middle one.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe there is, they're just so professionally good at hiding that we haven't been able to find them yet.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's what the post says

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Non ironically, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually existed, what with American Cornhole League being an actual thing. And Competitive Excel.

one wouldn't think an Arsenal fan would say so. not after the last two transfer windows.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We found some good players in the last few windows.

Because Ghillie always wins.

[–] u202307011927@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe … maybe there is, and they are just really hard to find, so …

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's OP's joke.

Imagine a game of hide and seek played by like 11 players, 10 hiders and 1 seeker and the boundary for the game is the entire globe.

Actually... I think this was a real game show in the late 90's early 2000's, wasn't it? 🤔 I started writing the comment and then had vague memories of some game show where players literally are hiding in, like, NYC from a team of seekers and there was a cash prize involved. It was more complicated than just "hide n seek" but it was basically still the same game, just larger and with extra side games for a TV audience

The YouTube channel Jetlag does kind of that. Races round the globe, capture the flag with the entirety of Japan being the map, tag across Europe and so on
