Train your mind as you explore the world
Every game of Escondite invites you to look closely and connect details: a road, a building or the local plants can become clues to a location. Practise finding your way around the map and discover landscapes you may never have seen before.
Playing with friends brings a different challenge each round. Take turns hiding and searching, compare your deductions with the real location and try new strategies in the next game. Learning geography can also be a way to have fun together.
