Why is there no professional hide and seek league?

Jokes aside, I'd enjoy watching competitive versions of hide and seek, tag, and capture the flag. That last one would be especially good with NFL-style overhead cameras and video game-style minimaps.

I moved across the country when I was younger after a hide and seek game with some friends. 30+ years later and they still haven't found me!

Not technically professional since it's the Olympics, but here.

Monty python did this joke as a sketch.

Maybe there is, they're just so professionally good at hiding that we haven't been able to find them yet.

Non ironically, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually existed, what with American Cornhole League being an actual thing. And Competitive Excel.

one wouldn't think an Arsenal fan would say so. not after the last two transfer windows.

Because Ghillie always wins.

We have dad jokes on lemmy ? It's now like 16.1803% better.

Imagine a game of hide and seek played by like 11 players, 10 hiders and 1 seeker and the boundary for the game is the entire globe.

Actually... I think this was a real game show in the late 90's early 2000's, wasn't it? 🤔 I started writing the comment and then had vague memories of some game show where players literally are hiding in, like, NYC from a team of seekers and there was a cash prize involved. It was more complicated than just "hide n seek" but it was basically still the same game, just larger and with extra side games for a TV audience
