Sardines: Hide-and-Seek Backwards

Indoor games
  • 7–12 years
  • 40 min
  • at home

One person hides and everybody else searches alone. Whoever finds the hiding place squeezes in silently, until a single seeker is left wandering the flat.

What you need

  • Nothing but the rooms you already have
  • A small lamp for atmosphere

How to play

  1. Agree which rooms are in play and switch on a small lamp instead of the ceiling light.
  2. Send one player off to hide while everyone else counts to thirty.
  3. Search separately and say nothing about what you find.
  4. When you find the hider, squeeze into the same spot without a word.
  5. Play until one seeker is left — that person hides in the next round.
