Choosing Game Size

Hide and Seek is configured to be played at three different scales: small, medium, or large. These sizes have slightly different rules designed to work best with your map's size and complexity. Before you do any further setup, you'll need to determine whether you'd like to play a small, medium, or large game of Hide and Seek.

The other major decision that will need to be made concerning game length is whether you want to add additional rounds. In the simplest configuration of the game, each player/team hides a single time–once everyone has had a chance to hide, the longest hiding time wins. We consider hiding once per player to be the default version of the game, and it's what we recommend unless you are willing to commit significantly more time to playing. If you do chose to add additional rounds, hiding time is not counted cumulatively–it is only a player's best round that counts.
