If I were Ikea I'd try turning into a paid event. Collect the money ahead of time ($5 per person?) and you're golden.
That sounds awesome, but how does a 3k game of hide & seek actually work? I mean, by home rules growing up, one person was "it" and had to find everyone. That would suck. One person would have to find 2999 others, and most of them would just be stuck stuck under an Espevar, waiting. This is an important problem to solve. I call on the engineers of this site to find a solution to the hide & seek scaling problem. Let's…
You might be interested in the hide-and-seek variant Sardines. One person hides, with a group of seekers. Seekers that find the one who hides have to hide with them, until one seeker is left. There is nothing like the feeling of looking around, encountering fewer and fewer other seekers, until you are alone with the knowledge that you just lost.
What exactly were the police planning to do if they found someone playing hide and seek? At most it seems like they could ask people to leave the store, and if they refuse charge them with trespassing - but those are civil matters.

As grownups, maybe the bar, or just hang out in the Ikea food court?

Probably cheaper than TV/mail advertising per-customer-acquisition or per-additional-dollar-o-profit.
You are correct. It has long been a secret in the advertising industry that adult players of "hide and seek" games are among the most profitable and sought after demographics for purchasing of interior home furnishings. [1] The only problem has been how to narrowly target this highly sought after group of customers. Because they are notoriously difficult to locate.

Wouldn't that make them invisible to the police?
Until there's robot furniture that moves on its own, no. I bet someone somewhere is working on it, though.
which is not surprising considering how successful the tradfri line of (affordable) smart home products has been (i’m a fan).

Yes, but that makes Ikea assume some responsibility. At the end of the day Ikea sells furniture, people playing a massive hide and seek game are not there to buy furniture.
That said, you could still allow people who came to actually buy furniture.
Though, I think it would require more preparation than just winging it.
