Do you play Hide And Seek.When I`m 7~8 years old me and my friends always Hide And Seek,because it enhanced your speed and ability to find your friends.But in the Philippines we have a myth that no one can play Hide And Seek when midnight or night because elders said that the unidentified creatures will get you and after many years or decades before you can go out to their magical boundary beyond Earth and their planet or world.
That`s why at the Philippines their no one kid play outdor when the time is 6:00 pm.

Yeah I use to play hide and seek when I was young all those were the days. I remember me and my sister use to play with our causins in our condo which was kind of hard for me to find a spot since I was big and not to many good spots to hide in our condo but it was in all good fun. I loved playing in our house with my sister. I remember leaving her in her spot for an hour while I watched tv lol.

I used to love playing hide and seek, and my kids do as well.
I guess unidentified creatures are just the elders' way of making sure that kids are home tucked up in bed come night time!
I remember having to take a very long car journey with my son some years ago. I had him in the car seat in the passenger seat next to me so I could chat to him whilst I drove, and I still remember a great game of hide and seek we played as we came up the motorway. I had a blanket, and I'd hold it up between the two of us, then drop it down and yell Boo!!! Or he'd put it over his head and hide, and I'd need to 'find' him! I'm sure the truckers looking down itno my car thought we'd lost our minds entirely, but it made a long journey pass a little quicker :-) and both of us enjoyed it! He's a little more advanced with his hiding places these days!

Hello dear Armortec. I used to play hide and seek when I was a kid. I think that it was a lot of fun for kids to play that game as it is a cheap game without paying anything for it. I used to live in a large house in a city lane, where there used to be quite a few families living together. We kids loved to play hide and seek and we always tried to hide somewhere where we could not easily found in the house, although the space was limited. I still miss the fun we had as a kid.
By the way, it is very interesting to read about this myth of yours. So I am sure that kids are afraid to go out and play this game after six in the afternoon. You know, kids are easily influenced by words of this kind. But in our country we do not have this saying that the unidentified creatures will get you and...Thanks so much for your interesting topic. Take care.

hide and seek is the best game ever....So much fun and never boring. i used to play the game with smaller kids even when i was a teenager. ya here too in those days there were myths that children should not play outside after dark . But times are changing ...
