In a platform filled with fast-paced simulators and flashy minigames, Hide and Seek Extreme remains a timeless gem. Created by Tim7775 back in January 2015, this game brings back a childhood favorite in the best way possible: with larger-than-life maps, clever hiding spots, and a seeker you really don’t want to get caught by.
With over 3.1 billion visits, it’s clear this isn’t just a nostalgia trip—this is one of Roblox’s most enduring titles, and for good reason.
🎮 How the Game Works
Each round begins with up to 13 players. One is randomly selected to be the seeker, while the rest scatter across the map as hiders. Hiders get a 60-second head start to find a hiding spot. Meanwhile, the seeker is frozen in place, watching everyone scramble.
After the timer ticks down, the seeker is unleashed with four minutes to catch every hider by physically tagging them. Hiders who reset or leave count as caught. If time runs out, any remaining hiders win.
You’ll always know how close the seeker is—your screen tells you the number of studs between you and them. It adds tension, especially when the distance drops fast.
👾 The “It” Characters and Their Powers
What makes Hide and Seek Extreme stand out are the unique “It” characters, each with their own special abilities that make seeking more strategic—and terrifying.
-
Glue: Used by Ethan, Emma, and Ice Bear. Drops glue that stuns hiders for 8 seconds. Great for corner traps.
-
Camera: Used by Panda and Jacob. Set cameras to monitor far-off areas or help reach high spots.
-
Sprint: Used by Grizzly, Jake, and Sophia. Boosts speed briefly, perfect for catching fleeing players.
-
Stun: Exclusive to Yeti. Sends out a shockwave to stun nearby hiders. Quick cooldown, strong area control.
These powers are simple to use—just tap the [1] key or the button in the bottom left.
🗺️ Maps That Turn Everyday Places Into Hideouts
The maps in Hide and Seek Extreme are what make the game feel truly “extreme.” Each one takes a familiar place—like a bedroom or kitchen—and supersizes it. You feel like a tiny action figure, climbing chairs, diving behind boxes, and slipping through vents.
Top Maps and Spots:
-
Ethan’s Bedroom: Hide in teleporting pillows, drawers, or the mouse hole for great cover.
-
The Store: Secret spaces in vending machines, shelves, and a cash register make this map a maze.
-
The Kitchen: Slip into the oven or ride teleporters through plants and cabinets.
-
The Workshop: High shelves, secret teleporters, and camera-proof spots make this a hider favorite.
-
The Backyard: Outdoor fun with trees, sinks, and teleporting birdhouses.
-
The Attic: Pool tables, holiday decor, and glitchy corners offer hiding heaven.
-
Cursed Cavern: Limited-time treasure hunt event map—sadly, now retired.
Every map has coins scattered around. Collect them to unlock items or just flex your risk-taking skills. But be careful—greed has led many players right into the seeker’s hands.
