Hide and go get it

Hide and go get it similar to hide and seek. The game requires
an equal number of sexes in this game. "It" in this game is one of
the sexes either the boys or the girls. For example, if the boys are
"it" they count to one hundred by fives while the girls go and hide.
If "it" catches you, you must kiss your capturer. The game continues
until everyone is caught or is on glue (glue is the safety zone where
you can no longer be tagged). The game then resumes with the other
sex being "it".

Submitter comment: This game was a way to kiss someone you liked without asking for
it.
