Hide-and-seek


 * For the Hide and Seek Tour in New Leaf, see Hide and Seek Tour.

Hide-and-seek is a game in and  where the player must find three villagers within a time limit.

Hide-and-seek is initiated by a villager, who will ask the player if they want to play. If the player accepts, the player and villager, as well as two other villagers, will appear outside town hall in or in the event plaza in. The villager who initially asked the player to play will explain the rules, which are that the player must find the three of them, who will hide outside, within 10 or 15 minutes.

Once the game starts, the villagers will disappear and the player must find them within the time limit, which is displayed on-screen. Villagers can hide behind trees, buildings, signposts (in only), and public works projects (in  only), and they will occasionally look out from their hiding spot, revealing themselves. When the player finds a villager, they must speak to them; when the player finds all three villagers, they will return to town hall or the plaza and they villager who initiated the game will give the player a random item as a reward.
