The Perfect Hiding Place

'1..2..3..4..5..'

You sprint from room to room in a quiet rush, looking, searching for the ideal spot.

'6..7..8..9..10..'


It needs to be large enough to conceal you completely but not so obvious that you'll be discovered straight away.


'11..12..13..14..15..'

It can't be somewhere too scary, like the cupboard under the stairs, or the monsters will get you.

'16..17..18..'

Come on, come on. There must be somewhere.


'19...'

Hang on.
'20...'

Perfect!

'Coming, ready or not!'

And you stay there. Perfectly hidden. Until you hear that most wonderful of phrases:


'OK, I give up!'
