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!

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.

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

Monty python did this joke as a sketch.

How not to be seen?

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

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

marcos@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

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.

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

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

Oh there is competitive tag, and it's awesome to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C46oyQvyRlk

One of my favorite Ocho sports. Something I'd love to give a go too, but I'm well aware I'd end up hitting my head on a bar or similar.

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

Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

We found some good players in the last few windows.

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
