Seeker
Seeker turns the classic playground game into a digital contest of wits and reflexes. Each round picks a Seeker, whose task is to sweep across the map and tag the hiding players before time runs out. The hidden ones must use every nook and cranny, staying silent and still as the hunter inches closer. It's a game that rewards patience when you're in hiding and sharp observation when you're on the chase. The action is quick, with rounds that rarely drag, so you're always either tensely waiting behind a corner or bursting out of a spot to make a break for it. Maps are packed with corners, corridors, and obstacles that give both sides options — you can try to stay put and hope you're overlooked, or you can risk a dash to a new hiding spot. Whether you prefer to outsmart or outrun, every match feels like a fresh game of nerves.

What is Seeker
Get ready to outthink and outlast your rivals in Seeker, a multiplayer hide-and-seek arcade game that hinges on your ability to stay quiet or spot the smallest movement.
How to Play
At the start of each round, it's randomly decided whether you're the Seeker or one of the hidden. The hidden have a brief head start to find a spot before the Seeker's timer begins, then it's a matter of holding your nerve or searching methodically.
Tips for Playing
- As a hider, stay calm and don't move unless you're sure the Seeker is far away.
- When hiding, choose a spot that has a clear escape route in case you're detected.
- As the Seeker, check corners and behind objects methodically instead of running wildly.
- Use sound cues to your advantage—a faint step or rustle can betray a hider's position.
- If you're the last hidden player, try to lead the Seeker away from your team's remaining spots.
