You might be interested in the hide-and-seek variant Sardines. One person hides, with a group of seekers. Seekers that find the one who hides have to hide with them, until one seeker is left. There is nothing like the feeling of looking around, encountering fewer and fewer other seekers, until you are alone with the knowledge that you just lost.

The first excellent episode of British TV series Inside No. 9 revolves around a game of Sardines. Wholeheartedly recommended, for pitch-perfect Brit dark humour

  Just watched it now. Gosh that was weird and strangely captivating. Also, literally every single person spoke with their own uniquely wonderful accent and mannerism - odd thing to notice and comment on but it made it that much better. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Oh yes, Sardines was great fun! Very popular among teens when I was that age.

  Which definitely had nothing to do with the possibility of finding yourself squeezed into a confined space with the person you had a crush on. Definitely.

    Well done for finding the right phrasing. That was my first thought too but the phrase I had in mind wasn't politically correct so I didn't comment.

    That was precisely the aspect we enjoyed the most, though I hesitated to note that detail when posting earlier. It wasn't the only fun part though. Someone would always start giggling and give away the hideout.

We used to do this in a giant church. One time the police came due to an alarm that went off and the youth leader was in the bathroom with a bunch of kids LOL

Sardines is a central part of the plot of The Demolished Man[0], the first Hugo award winning novel. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demolished_Man https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Demolished_Man

How can you ever be sure if you've lost?
