Hiders & Seekers

Description

HIDERS AND SEEKERS is an outdoor augmented reality game, based on the good old analog hide and seek. Collect items in the real world surroundings to stop your opponents.

The Seekers must find the Hiders before the time runs out! Obstruct the opponents mission by collecting items and using them. Pick them up before anyone else does. Watch the players on the radar, activate traps, catch them in a net, capture them in a cage. Just stop them before they find you!

HOW TO PLAY

Join or create a game and divide players into Hiders and Seekers teams and start the game. The Hiders run and hide whereas the Seekers need to not move for some time – if they do they lose HP. 

The game center position is located where the game was started. Game center is shown on the radar as well as the game area. If a player is outside the game area the player loses HP. Press the radar to zoom in and out. 

The radar also shows where players of your team are located. Hiders also see Seekers until they get too close. There are items to find that show or hide players. 

Items are shown as augmented reality items on the screen and when getting close to an item they show up on the screen for players to pick (press) or discard (swipe). Examples of items are health, stealth, visibility, traps, etc and gives advantages in the game. If an item is picked it is gone for all the other players, hence it could be wise to pick up items to hinder the other players to get advantages.

When a Seeker has got close enough to a Hider, a button appears on the screen and needs to be pressed for some time to capture the Hider. If the Hider runs away and reaches a certain distance to the Seeker the Hider is free, if not the Hider is captured and out of the game. 

Seekers wins when all Hiders are found and Hiders wins when time is out and at least one Hider is left in the game.

If a Hider is found he can go to the game center and wait for another Hider to come to the Game Center and rescue him.
