Hunt & Seek

Game Overview

Hunt & Seek is an exhilarating and addictive blend of classic hide-and-seek and prop hunt, promising endless hours of fun and strategic gameplay. Dive into a world where observation and deception are your greatest tools, as you choose to either cunningly hide from your pursuers or become the relentless hunter yourself!

As a Prop Hider, your mission is to seamlessly blend into the environment. You’ll transform into various objects found across the map, from lamps and chairs to crates and more. The key is to select a prop that fits naturally into its surroundings and then remain perfectly still, fooling the hunter into believing you’re just another inanimate object. Success hinges on your ability to think strategically about the best hiding spots and the most inconspicuous disguises. Every subtle movement could give you away, so precision and patience are paramount.

As the Hunter, your keen eye and deductive skills are put to the ultimate test. Your objective is to meticulously scan every inch of the environment, searching for any prop that appears out of place or exhibits the slightest movement. You’ll need to examine objects from all angles, paying close attention to details that might betray a hidden player. Once you spot a suspicious object, approach quietly and swiftly tag it to reveal the hider.

Game Modes offer diverse ways to play and keep the experience fresh:

• Prop Hunt Classic: Teams of hunters face off against teams of hiders in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase.
• One versus All: A single hunter takes on multiple hiders, demanding quick reflexes and sharp deduction to catch them all before time runs out.
• Tag: A frantic free-for-all where the game transforms into a high-energy pursuit, adding an extra layer of chaos and excitement.

Regardless of your chosen role, Hunt & Seek challenges both your observational prowess and your ability to anticipate your opponent’s moves. As a hider, you must predict how a hunter would search an area and position yourself accordingly. As a hunter, you need to anticipate where a hider might disguise themselves and how they would try to blend in. This constant mental chess match ensures that both sides are always on their toes, making every round a unique and engaging experience.

Gameplay Mechanics & Controls

Getting Started: At the beginning of each round, approach the clipboard on the table to select your role: either a Seeker (marked with a yellow tag) or a Prop Hider (marked with a blue tag). As a Seeker, immediately begin scanning the room for any anomalies. As a Hider, quickly choose an unoccupied prop to disguise yourself as.

Playing as a Hider:

1. Transformation: Walk up to the prop you wish to become and press the Interaction button (E key by default). Your character model will transform into that object and become motionless.
2. Strategic Disguise: Try to pick a prop that other hiders haven’t already selected. The more hiders disguised as the same objects, the easier it will be for Seekers to identify and tag you all.

Playing as a Seeker:

1. Thorough Inspection: Slowly and methodically inspect every nook and cranny of the environment. Pay close attention to object placements, orientations, and textures for anything suspicious or out of place.
2. Movement: Use the WASD keys to move. You can crouch-walk for stealth, allowing you to approach suspicious props quietly.
3. Tools: Press the F key to pull out a flashlight, which can help you spot subtle giveaways of hidden hider props in darker areas or intricate environments.
4. Tagging: If you spot a suspicious prop, approach it slowly and quietly. Once you’re close enough, press the Interaction button (E key) again to “tag” the prop and reveal the hidden player.
5. Role Switch: A tagged hider immediately becomes a Seeker for the remainder of the round. They will respawn at the clipboard and should resume searching for other hiders still in disguise.

Teamwork & Winning:

• If playing in teams, effective communication and coordination among Seekers are crucial. Discuss which areas each player will search and inform one another when a hider is tagged. Coordinate strategies to corner multiple hiders at once.
• A round concludes either after a set time limit or when all hiders have been caught.
• At the end of each round, Seekers and Hiders switch roles for the next round, ensuring everyone gets a chance to experience both sides of the game.
• The team or player with the most tags at the end of all rounds is declared the winner!
