A new game is becoming popular with young people: people come together, choose to be “cats” or “mice”, share locations (位置) on their phones, and then play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏) in a big outdoor space.
Once, I took part in the activity with Tom and another 30 people at the Olympic Forest Park. Most of us didn’t know each other. The game had two rounds (轮). In the first round, five people were “cats” and the rest were “mice”. With five minutes for “mice” to run and hide, the “cats” found them using the locations they shared on a map app. The second round was group match.
We played hide-and-seek when we were little. When I invited Tom, he wondered the point of playing this game as a grown-up. After playing the game, Tom said, “The use of GPS made this childhood game much more fun. It was a creative way of bringing something new to old games with technology (科技). It is a good way to meet new people and even make friends, too.”
For me, it’s good that playing in the park made me moving as I’m not so interested in playing outside. However, I would have more fun if the park weren’t so big. When I saw the “mice” were so far away from me, I just wanted to give up. On the other hand, when it was difficult for me to be caught, I felt less excited.
