Mode Overview
Hide and Seek splits players into hiders and seekers — sometimes Guard variants enforce rules. Hiders survive until timer; seekers eliminate via tags. Full rules on Hide and Seek.
Map knowledge from Map & Lobby translates directly — learn prop clutter and verticality before ranked attempts.
Sound cues matter — sprinting seekers hear across map; crouch walk when audio enabled.
Hiding Strategy
Avoid obvious corner stacks where seekers AoE scan.
Move once after loud eliminations elsewhere — seekers rush noise.
Elevated props break line of sight — Sky Squid training helps vertical movement.
Seeking Strategy
Sweep perimeter first — center hides last.
Guard role seekers use ability cooldowns efficiently — Guard & Frontman.
Do not tunnel one hide while timer bleeds — triage high-probability zones.
Advanced
Premade seek teams coordinate zone splits via Discord voice where allowed.
Cosmetic trails hurt hide players — disable flashy shop items.
