    Sardines is a form of hide and seek where one person hides and all the other players seek them. As each seeker finds the person, they must join them in their hiding place, until everyone is wedged into the same spot like a bunch of sardines in a can!

    Traditionally, the seeker counts up to a number that everyone agrees on (like 20), then yells out, “Ready or not, here I come!” That’s your signal to quickly hide if you haven’t already found a spot.
  • Question
    What if a good seeker is seeking? Where should I hide?
    Community Answer
    Go into your parents closet, put on a pair of their shoes, then put a jacket over your body (leave the jacket hanging up) then step back up to the wall try to keep your arms up so they won't see your hands. You'll look just like clothes in the closet.

    What if I'm trying to hide and the seeker was peeking and saw where I was?

    Find a new hiding place, one that you can enjoy seeing them go to the wrong place to find you.
  • Question
    What if another player hides next to me?
    Community Answer
    This is not great, because you're more likely to be found if there are two of you. Either ask the person to go hide somewhere else, or move to another spot yourself.
  • Question
    Can I hide under a car?
    Community Answer
    That would be a bad idea because if somebody didn't know you were under there, they could come out and start the car before you had a chance to get out. Also, if you don't know when that car was last driven, it could still be hot underneath.
  • Question
    Where can you hide in a lounge?

  • Question
    What if I am in a field and I hear a rustling sound? If I move, I might be spotted.

  • Question
    What do you do if you get hurt during the games?
