Hide and Seek is a relatively complex game. Yes, the actions of “hiding” or “seeking” are straightforward enough, but it’s never really that simple, is it? For instance, one Redditor remembers an emotionally scarring game where they ended up being the person that everyone forgot to look for.
Other Redditors have popped out of their hiding places and remembered the times the beloved childhood contest went horribly wrong, including one who developed claustrophobia as a result.
![-eDgAR- . 4y ago A bunch of my friends and I were playing in their aprtment building one time and they literally all forgot about me and went to go get food without me. Spent like 2 hours hiding after the game was already over.

![mamakos84 4y ago When I was 5, my friends and I were playing hide and seek in the woods behind our houses. I sharted and ran home to change. Of course I never told my friends why I left they just never found me and thought I was still hiding.

Me being very smart decided to hide in the bathroom with my baby sister and I thought it was a good idea to put her in the toilet since she was small enough to fit in there.

![ablin this - carlingblaze 4y ago Edited 4y ago I hid in a tree in the park from my dad. Big park, right in the city. I was up there for about 2 hours, he passed under me several times getting increasingly panicked and I was like I'm not falling for that one!

![FabergeEogg 4y ago My friend hid in the drawer under my bed. I found her and pulled the drawer out. When she moved forward to climb out, it tipped and the edge landed on my big toe. Fast forward 6 hours and I'm in A&E having a hot needle jammed into my toenail to release the pressure of the blood that had built up behind the nail. Yes, it did spurt blood. But, my toenail fell off a week or two later, which was pretty cool. We were about 8 years old. 1.2K ...](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/5/9/5/1112595.jpg)

![Relevant_Shame 4y ago I was about five years old playing hide and seek with my brother and sister. It was supposed to be inside only, but apparently I was a little cheat. I snuck outside and climbed into the backseat of my mom's car and fell asleep. Hours later my parents are freaking out, calling people to help look for me and screaming my name. I wake up and hear my name being called, panic scrambling out of the car and slam the door on my finger.

![TheQueenOfSomething 4y ago Edited 4y ago So when I was a wee kid and a scout, we played hide and seek in the dark. We usually played something like this every time the last 15 minutes. It was a medium sized cabin, essentially. There was a lot of places to hide, lots of stuff just lying around. For some reason there was a coffin there and nobody, as far as I know, ever hid inside. Because it's a coffin, and that's just creepy. But my smartass hid inside it. Unlucky for me, another kid also looking for a hiding spot](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/imageset/5/9/2/1112592.jpg)
