Section 3: Playing Area
The game can be played in various environments:
- Indoor: A house, building, or defined indoor space with multiple hiding spots
- Outdoor: A yard, park, playground, or other outdoor area with natural hiding places
- Clear boundaries should be established before play begins
- A designated "home base" or "safe zone" is required (often a tree, pole, wall, or other landmark)
Safety considerations for the playing area:
- Area should be free of dangerous hazards
- Boundaries should keep players within safe, supervised areas
- Off-limits areas should be clearly defined (e.g., roads, water features, private property)
