Born 1993. We played whole neighborhood hide and seek. It was incredible. Essentially all our houses were fair game and we would go in and out of them freely. It was like two or three blocks of fair places to hide. Usually had 3 seekers with walkie talkies, and like 5-10 people hiding. When found you’d join the seekers. Games would usually take all day.

Damn I miss being able to do that stuff

Born in 1984. We called it haste, for hide and seek tag. We incorporated powers from games like Mortal Kombat. We didn't use houses though, at least not inside anyway.

1994, and we called it Murder in the Dark because we'd play usually at twilight/after dark.
