How to play Sardines
- 1One player hides while everyone else counts to 60 with their eyes closed.
- 2The seekers split up and search separately.
- 3When a seeker finds the hider, they quietly squeeze into the hiding spot too.
- 4The hiding spot fills up like a tin of sardines. The last seeker left searching is the next to hide.
Variations
- Lights-out Sardines: play at dusk or with the lights low, using torches.
Tips
- Agree on off-limits rooms before you start, and pick a hiding spot big enough for several people.
