“People are stopping everyone who ‘looks like they are here for a game of hide and seek.”
Deep down, everyone who walks into the great snaking corridors of IKEA is playing a game of hide and seek.
But what does a person who goes there to play the game on purpose look like? What are the tells? Are they wearing IKEA bedlinen?
I love the idea of a stop and search on that scale and basis. “Hide and seek, officer? I just came to buy a Prickig and a couple of Pysslingars.”

- coryfklein 7y agoThat SCP was both completely unexpected and completely appropriate. Also a very interesting mix of creepy and hilarious. I nearly lost it at the description of the humanoids SCP-3008-2. Edit: Working my way through the journal entry - my goodness this stuff is straight-up made for its own movie or Netflix series!
- tomatotomato37 7y agoCheck out the containment series on youtube; the latest episode is based off that SCP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM6GkERwEM0&list=PLEXIiC3q94eO992TlwBD98Zast0gret1r https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM6GkERwEM0&list=PLEXIiC3q94...
- lachlan-sneff 7y agoLove this series! Hope the next one is on the way!

- girvo 7y agoA game that seems very inspired by the SCP Foundation itself recently came out, Control by Remedy — if you enjoyed the site and play games at all, you should check it out!
- coryfklein 7y agoHey I've seen the trailer for that, I hadn't read enough SCP to recognize the inspiration though. Very interesting!
- FridgeSeal 7y agoI’m midway through it, and it’s one of my favourite games already. If you dig the “weird sci-fi” aesthetic, then I strongly recommend it. The physics engine is also super impressive.

- 2bitencryption 7y ago(off-topic) Just curious, have you heard of the game "Control" that was just released? I've been playing it, and it borrows heavily from SCP (and I mean heavily -- it's the same concept). Just wondering your thoughts on that, for such a big-budget production to make use of SCP concepts? Reminds me of the Slenderman films (except much much better).

- B1FF_PSUVM 7y agoThere was an SF story where you would teleport from one city to another by walking into (and out of) franchise stores - the high similarity between locations resulting in space-time congruency, hand-wave ...
- ansible 7y agoThat SCP entry was not far off from the experience at the Oak Creek store: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/store/oak_creek/indexPage https://www.ikea.com/us/en/store/oak_creek/indexPage Unlike some others I've been to, it is designed as one long twisty maze from start to finish. While there are shortcuts that allow you to skip some sections, the place is so closed in it is hard to keep oriented. You can't really navigate like you would a traditional store. I'll never go again, and I know others who feel the same way.
- chrisweekly 7y agoTHANK YOU, empath75, for that hilarious link. I am flabbergasted by the downvotes; the link is relevant and worthwhile.
- bduerst 7y agoI was in Ikea this weekend to pick up a single item and the game was more "rat in a maze" than hide and seek.
- felipemnoa 7y ago>>Are they wearing IKEA bedlinen? This made me laugh. I can almost see the person arguing that that is just part of his daily wardrobe with a very matter of fact face.
