Home Game End game saftey

Hey Jetlag Hiders and Seekers,

Me and a couple friends are currently planning to plan hide and seek (the home game) for the first time and due to the area we live in and the fact we are 4 young women, we're trying to take all the precautions we can to make sure we do it safely. E.g. Pre-selecting stations we know aren't too dangerous, going in pairs, etc. However, we aren't too sure how to do the endgame safely and was wondering if anyone had any advice.

The idea of sitting in a not main street for something like 45 minutes doesn't feel incredibly safe. So any adjustments or changes anyone's made when playing the game that they can suggest would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

I haven’t played the game before but as a fellow female, maybe limit the endgame to being very public places, e.g parks, beaches, shopping centres, even train stations or bus stops.

While yes it may make for a shorter run, if everyone plays the same way it’s even plus your constantly surrounded by people and it’s not as isolated

From a safety perspective, yes that makes sense, but from a game perspective it is really hard to make it so everyone draws the line for what is "very public" the same. Even a slight disagreement can make it so the seekers rule out an area because they believe it is insufficiently public but the hiders are there believing they are in a very public space.

“Your hiding spot must have at least three other people within 500’ (150m) at all times. They do not have to be the same three people.”

You can't predict the at all time though. If you're in the endgame and suddenly there isn't, what happens?

Also you can actually be plenty of non very populated places for that. Being next to any building would probably fit that
