Locations
Note: You will never be required to enter the wilderness during this event.

The event may be split into 2 parts depending on turnout. During the first part of the event, hiders will only be able to hide in the northern region of the F2P map. But will then be restricted to only the southern half during the second part of the event.

How it will work
Before the event starts we will all meet at Varrock square. A number of hiders will then be assigned for the first map and ranked in the clan chat. When the event begins the clan chat will be muted and the hiders will run off to hide. They are to be given a 3 minute head start. If anyone is seen leaving who is not a hider before they are instructed to they will be disqualified from the prizes and may be banned from future events if they attempt to give away hiding spots.

Once every hider has been found we will return to varrock square to hand out rewards to anyone that found a hider. We will then move as a group to the lumbridge castle courtyard where a new set of hiders will be assigned, ranked and set off. Same head-start rules as before apply.

Once they are all found we will again hand out rewards at lumbridge castle courtyard. Depending on how much interest there is we may then send off hiders for a whole-world hide and seek, with double rewards.

How to tag a hider
To tag a hider you must right-click to "Trade" them. This helps to avoid disputes about who got there first because the hider will have the trade alerts in order of first to last on their screen. Unlike in the previous treasure trail event, rewards will all be given at the end, not when you tag the hider.

This system is preferred to merely seeing someone on a minimap as you must actually reach the hider instead of seeing them through a wall or across a roof, as well as the reason mentioned above.

Recommended items

 * Law Rune.PNG - Teleportation runes
 * Tuna.PNG - Cheap, low-healing food (in case you have to run past monsters)
 * Explorer's ring (1).png Explorer ring.png ExplorerRing3.png - Explorer's ring (for its run energy restores and handy cabbage patch teleport)

Hints/clues
After a certain amount of time has passed, each hider will be required to give out a clue as to where they are hiding. This may be a cryptic clue or something as basic as "I'm in the north-eastern region of the map". In the eventuality that a hider still remains hidden they may be required to give out another hint. If they still can't be found we will either move on or send out a new hider to replace them, they will also be given a small cash prize for their skill. If they are found to have knowingly broken any of the rules, they may be blacklisted from future events which require volunteers.

Restrictions
Hiders may not:
 * Exit the area marked with a red boundary on the maps above, by any means
 * Fight at the duel arena
 * Enter any area that has a skill or quest requirement
 * Enter any area that could be considered moderately or very dangerous
 * Log out at any time
 * Give untruthful clues

If in doubt, use common sense.

Seekers can:
 * Exit the red boundary
 * Enter any area
 * Log out
 * Use teleports
 * Divulge the location of any hiders in public/private chat, bearing in mind that if they do this, it may cost them the 150k reward per hider

Dungeons:
 * Hiders aren't allowed to enter the Asgarnian ice dungeon (south of Port Sarim)
 * Hiders aren't allowed to enter the Stronghold of security
 * Hiders aren't allowed to enter Daemonheim or any resource dungeons
 * Hiders are allowed to enter Varrock sewers/Edgeville dungeon
 * Hiders are allowed to enter the Stronghold of Player safety

Guilds:
 * Hiders aren't allowed to enter any guilds in red boundary area.

Rewards
As said above, the first person to reach each hider will recieve

This will be handed out, after all hiders have been found, at either Lumbridge or Varrock square.

Volunteer sign-up
Hiders will be given a rank in the clan chat as well as a small cash gift after the event to show our appreciation for them volunteering. Willing volunteers here may also become candidates for non-public moderating positions during future events.

Not all volunteers will definitely be picked as a hider on the day depending on the amount of hiders needed and the number of attendants.

To sign up, use the format

Failure to properly sign may stop you from being considered a hider.

If you are unable to attend after signing, you don't need to remove your name, merely type - X next to it. If we see you on the day, you can still ask to hide as you have already signed.
