You might not be a kid anymore, but can you still squeeze in a closet or under a bed? OK, then you can still have fun playing hide and seek.

You remember hide and seek, don’t you? One person looks away and counts while all the others hide. The first one to be discovered loses and has to hunt for the others in the next round. That person is called it.

Check out this Cloverfield-inspired video of the Ebaby! cast playing hide and seek.

Discussion

When the person who is it is done counting and ready to look for everyone, he or she yells, “Ready or not, here I come!” Mason hears Jason yell those words, but he still doesn’t have a hiding spot!

He looks under the table, but Beren is already there. Marni is already crouched in the corner of the kitchen. He peeks behind the curtains, but Amanda is already there!

So Mason runs upstairs and looks in the closet. Devan tells him to get lost. Now he’s trapped. Jason walks in and tags him.

When’s the last time you played hide and seek? What children’s game do you like to play with your friends?

The game is very funny,the article makes me remind of the past childhood,i still remember that i always played it with my buddies,sometimes one of us gone to seek the others,or we given any one a piece of chalk,one of us had to seek the spots that the others had drawn,it teachs us to think and observe better.

I used to like playing hide and seek in the open areas, like street or garden. I used to hide behind the garbage, climb on the trees, behind the cars but near the tire to not to be seen if the it looks under the car..:) we played a lot og tag games like this, some of them is being played with a ball. Sometimes we throw the ball away and hide before it get it and when it finds a hider it hits him with the ball to say you are it..

I have not play the game for almost 20 years and almost forgotten it. During my time, hide and seek was a popular game, we used to hide in bushes and tree canopy.
