In Sardines, only one person hides and everyone else seeks. The hiding spot shouldn’t be too small. The seekers try to find the hider individually. When a player finds the hiding spot, they quietly join in. This continues until all players have found the hiding spot.

The goal is to be as inconspicuous and quiet as possible so the remaining seekers don’t find the spot too easily. The game can be played in daylight or in the dark.
