I feel like they would have been better off officially sanctioning the event and making a big PR stunt out of it.

#12> “People are stopping everyone who ‘looks like they are here for a game of hide and seek,’” What? How does one look like they are there for a game of hide and seek v a regular shopper?
Regular shoppers don’t usually crouch behind things.
Then how am I supposed to know if those things will fit my things inside them?
It would be like buying a mattress without lying on it first.

#13Ikea is the perfect place to play hide and seek. The stores are deliberately designed to be labyrinthine after all.

#14It's nice to know that Glasgow has eliminated crime to the point that this was the most useful thing the police could possibly be doing.

#15How is a 3000-person game of hide-and-seek supposed to work? Hide-and-seek typically involves knowing who you're looking for, or at least knowing that anyone in a given area is in on the game.

I suspect that "stopping" just means a short, and polite, conversation near the entrance.

Is this an actual thing?
I thought it was a joke, is it meant to be a joke but some people are going to turn up having it taken it seriously?
Not an American, but I feel that could go badly.

I don't think Ikea needs that kind of PR.

Maybe they're wearing Swedish furniture camouflage? If they come in with a costume that looks like a Billy book shelf. That's a dead giveaway.
Wouldn't that make them invisible to the police?
