Hide and Seek (Mini Game)
This content requires
Wheatflour Wonderland.
It is available with the Wheatflour Wonderland DLC or as part of
Apple Arcade.
- For the
Quest, see the "Hide and Seek" quest page.
Hide and Seek is a
Multiplayer mini game located in
Wheatflour Wonderland.
Hide and Seek can be played in 2 locations: at the
Floating Ruins, west of
Sky and Seek, and at the
Upper Citadel, directly in front of the "Find Ebi Fry" mini game. Depending on the location, the objects that the Hider may randomly transform into varies.
Playing the mini game requires the Host player to have reached friendship level 25 with
Cogimyun and completed the “Wanderful” quest, which unlocks the
Item Wand.
Hide and Seek is the first mini game that doesn't require
Game Tickets to play.
Game Mechanics
In order for Hide and Seek to be playable, two players need to be in a
Multiplayer session together. Playing the mini game rewards both participants
Ebi Points that add up for Rewards or get stored for players that do not own the Wheatflour Wonderland (DLC).
Each round begins once the players step on their respective pressure plates: Hider (the pink button on the left) and Seeker (the blue button on the right). Once the game starts, the Hider is given a 10 second countdown timer to transform into any random object (decor or plants) in the nearby area. During the countdown, the Seeker is confined to the starting area and unable to move their camera. After the 10 seconds are up, the Seeker is given 45 seconds (shown on a countdown timer) to indicate how long they have to find the Hider.
- The Hider can use the
Hide Action up to 3 times to turn into a random object. Their movement speed increases after they turn into an object for the first time. - The Seeker can use the
Seek Action to scan a small area around them. If the Hider is nearby, the scanner reveals them and ends the round. If the Hider is not nearby, the action has a cooldown period before it can be used again.
Glowing arrows light up on the ground as time passes to guide the Seeker towards the Hider.
Prizes for both players include
Ebi Points and
Sparkles. How many are awarded to each player varies with how long the round lasted.

Ebi Points
Ebi Points are the currency players receive after completing a round of Hide and Seek. At certain amounts of
Ebi Points, the player is rewarded special
Wheatflour color variants of specific clothes.
Each participant's performance during the round affects the amount of
Ebi Points they're awarded; the faster each role achieves their objective, the more
Ebi Points they'll receive. The winner gets the most points.
Prize Amounts
The winner always receives the most
Ebi Points. Who the winner was is determined by how long the Hider is able to stay hidden (which is also how fast the Seeker was able to reveal the Hider).

Tips for Winning "Hide and Seek"
- To combat the short amount of time given to hide, the Hider should use the
Hide Action as soon as possible so that they are able to move faster and find a good hiding spot.
- Moving around instead of staying in a static position while hiding can be rewarding, since the disguised object will occasionally move to alert the Seeker.
- Using the
Seek Action sparingly is recommended, since the cooldown is quite long. If overused, the Seeker might not have it available to reveal the Hider in time.
