@JustGoneNow It’s a game combining elements of the games "It" and Hide and seek. One player is "on", or "It", and they must capture the other players by 'spying' them rather than by tagging. A player is chosen as "It" and a landmark such as a tree or lampost is chosen as the base. Players who are not "It" run and hide, while "It" counts to a certain number, usually 40. “It" looks for the other players, while the players try to get to base without being seen. If a player gets to base without being seen, they shout "forty forty I'm free" and are then safe, waiting at base for the remainder of the game. In order to catch someone, "It" must see the person, run back, touch the base and say "forty forty I see [name]". If the "seen" player is behind or in an object, it must be specified; e.g. "forty forty I see [name] behind that tree" while pointing at it. Players that are caught by the "It" return to base. The first person that was caught is "It" for the next game.
