Conversely, the hiders must get back to "home base" before the seeker sees them and returns. In another variant called Forty forty, the seeker must return to "home base" after finding the hiders, before the hiders get back. Its popularity waned in the 1990s as parents began worrying about adolescent safety at night. The origins of this version arose in Greece, New York, in 1976 and had a large following through the end of 1989. Hiders cannot leave the boundaries of the playing field or else are immediately "caught" or "out" from the round. When all hiders are caught then the hiders become the seekers and the seekers become the hiders. If a hider returns home "free" without being tagged they can hide again in the next round representing their team. When a hider is caught-tagged by a seeker-the hider does not get to hide again and must remain on home base. The goal is for the hiders to take advantage of camouflage of the shadows in the surrounding area. The only lights in the playing field are those from street lamps or natural lighting. safe) from which the seekers count and hiders must return to without being tagged by a seeker in order to be considered "free" to hide again. Two teams-the hiders and the seekers-are each composed of two or more players. It is team-based and plays only after dusk. In another variant the game is called "Chase". In another, the hiders who are found help the seeker track down the remaining hiders, but the first person to be found becomes the next seeker. In one variant, once all hiders have been located, the game then becomes a game of tag where the seeker chases after all the other players and the first person tagged becomes the seeker for the next round. In another version, when hiders are caught they help the seeker locate the remaining hiders. In some versions of the game, after the first hider is caught or if no other players can be found over a period of time, the seeker calls out a previously-agreed phrase (such as " Olly olly oxen free", "Come out, come out wherever you are" or "All in, All in, Everybody out there all in free") to signal the other hiders to return to base for the next round.
The game is an example of an oral tradition, as it is commonly passed by children. Another common variation has the seeker counting at "home base" the hiders can either remain hidden or they can come out of hiding to race to home base once they touch it, they are "safe" and cannot be tagged. The most common way of ending is the player chosen as "it" locates all players the player found first is the loser and is chosen to be "it" in the next game. After reaching this number, the player who is "it" calls "Ready or not, here I come!" or "Coming, ready or not!" and then attempts to locate all concealed players. The game is played by one chosen player (designated as being "it") counting to a predetermined number with eyes closed while the other players hide. Hide-and-seek (sometimes known as hide-and-go-seek) is a popular children's game in which at least two players (usually at least three) conceal themselves in a set environment, to be found by one or more seekers.
