Setting: An abandoned Victorian mansion, shrouded in mist and legend. (Adaptable to any suitably creepy location - a dark forest, an old factory, etc.)
Characters:
- Seeker (Alex): A driven, competitive young adult.
- Hiders (Sarah, Mark, Emily): Each with unique personalities and strategies.
(Scene 1: The Setup)
EXT. ABANDONED MANSION - NIGHT
Mist hangs heavy in the air. The mansion looms, dark and imposing. Alex, armed with a flashlight, nervously checks his watch. Sarah, Mark, and Emily emerge from the shadows, their faces obscured by the darkness.
ALEX: (Whispering) Okay, rules are the same – no leaving the grounds, no weapons (other than flashlights), and no cheating. The seeker wins if they find everyone within the time limit – one hour.
SARAH: (Smirking) One hour isn't much time for a place this big. We're pros at this, Alex.
MARK: Yeah, you're going to have a long night.
EMILY: (Quietly) Let's just say… this place has a few surprises of its own.
Alex ignores the ominous warning. He counts down from three, then turns his back as the hiders scatter into the darkness.
(Scene 2: The Hunt)
INT. ABANDONED MANSION - VARIOUS LOCATIONS
The scene cuts between Alex's frantic search and the hiders finding clever hiding spots. We see snippets of their struggles:
- Alex: Navigating dusty, cobweb-filled hallways, his flashlight beam cutting through the gloom. He hears faint whispers and unsettling creaks.
- Sarah: Crouched in a shadowed attic, listening to Alex's footsteps getting closer, then further away.
- Mark: Hidden in a secret passage, narrowly avoiding discovery.
- Emily: In the mansion's eerie basement, seemingly blending with the shadows themselves.
(Scene 3: The Supernatural Element)
INT. ABANDONED MANSION - BASEMENT
Alex finds a hidden room in the basement. He sees Emily's shadow – but when he approaches, she's gone. He hears a chilling whisper – a voice that isn't any of the hiders. The temperature drops sharply.
(Scene 4: The Climax)
The chase intensifies. Alex feels like he's being watched, the whispers growing louder. He finds Sarah and Mark. But Emily remains elusive. Time is running out.
(Scene 5: The Resolution)
Alex discovers Emily hiding in a seemingly impossible place – a small, concealed space behind a crumbling wall. He tags her, just as the hour is up. He's won, but not without feeling a sense of unease and a lingering question about the mysterious whispers.
(Adaptations and Enhancements):
- Multiple Seekers: Introduce a second or third seeker to complicate the game.
- Team-Based Hiding: The hiders can work together strategically.
- Obstacles and Traps: Include physical obstacles and red herrings to make the game more challenging.
- Technology Integration: Use walkie-talkies or even GPS trackers to add another layer of complexity.
- Narrative Enhancements: Add backstory to the location, making the whispers and supernatural elements more compelling.
