This game is organized in a forest or a place where there are many hiding spots.

From the group, one girl is chosen to be the one who “hides” by an agreed-upon tree and counts aloud to one hundred. Meanwhile, the rest must conceal themselves. Then, the first girl sets off to search. If she spots any of the others, she runs back to the tree, knocks, and counts aloud: “One, two, three, Hannah locked-up,” and then goes searching again.

In the Cubs’ troop. 19.

When the girls notice from their hiding spots that the seeker has moved away from the goal, they rush to the tree and knock (each for herself). The one who is first to be “locked-up” becomes the hider in the next game.

However, if the last player reaches the goal and knocks, she can rescue all those previously locked-up, and then the first one must hide again in the next game.
