“People are stopping everyone who ‘looks like they are here for a game of hide and seek.” Deep down, everyone who walks into the great snaking corridors of IKEA is playing a game of hide and seek. But what does a person who goes there to play the game on purpose look like? What are the tells? Are they wearing IKEA bedlinen?

Probably cheaper than TV/mail advertising per-customer-acquisition or per-additional-dollar-o-profit.

The first excellent episode of British TV series Inside No. 9 revolves around a game of Sardines. Wholeheartedly recommended, for pitch-perfect Brit dark humour

If you are found, you lose, you don't go to jail.
