They are called the “seekers” whose ultimate goal is to find and eliminate all the “hiders” (who also consist of celebrities) who hide in spacious public places such as amusement parks, zoos and shopping arcades, packed with bystanders. The second twist is that the “hiders” are extremely hard to find, since they use everything from Hollywood level special makeup to professionally made props to disguise themselves. The third and final twist is that in this game, the “hiders” don’t just hide around, but they also have a chance to eliminate the “seekers” by pushing a huge red button they carry on their back. In the end, the last “seeker” standing is rewarded with a fat cash prize.
The game is shot using the latest 360 degree cameras, which enable the production to catch the most thrilling sequences of camouflage and capture right up until the final gotttttcha!!! moment!
