Rules Explanation:

• Created a game of Hide and Seek on Wikipedia (by blu3mo)

  • 
  • Similar to the Wikipedia version of Scotland Yard.

• URL for the Hunter (police) side: https://wikichase.vercel.app/<gameID>/hunter

• URL for the Runner (fugitive) side: https://wikichase.vercel.app/<gameID>/runner

• GameID can be any string.

  • If the Hunter and Runner have the same GameID, they can play together.

• Test URLs

  • Hunter URL: https://wikichase.vercel.app/game_123/hunter
  • Runner URL: https://wikichase.vercel.app/game_123/runner
  • By changing the GameID to any string, a new game can be started.

• Rules:

  • Real-time game of Hide and Seek

    • (Not turn-based like Scotland Yard)

  • Play Hide and Seek by jumping through links on Wikipedia pages.

  • The game is over when the police catch up to the Runner’s page.

  • Location of the opponent:

    • The position of the police (chaser) is always revealed.
    • The position of the Runner (evader) is revealed every second round.

  • To balance the game, there are two constraints for the Runner:

    • There is an 8-second cooldown time after each movement.

  •
