Description
Prologue
Yeti has come down from the mountains and is now in hiding in your house. He doesn’t want to be found but secretly wishes someone would come and search for him. So he leaves behind a photograph as a clue about where he might be. The search squad must find him based on the photograph. The four little pieces of Yeti in the House make your room look nothing like ordinary with the hide-and-seek game.
How to Play
The player playing as the Yeti hides the Yeti meeple and the footprint tokens.
Take a picture of the place where the Yeti's hiding. You can process the photo however you like.
The players playing as the Search Squad checks the photo and makes a guess about the hiding place without moving away from the search point.
The Search Squad wins if it guesses the Yeti's hiding place correctly. If the Search Squad finds a footprint instead, then the Yeti wins.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Deduction — You have to say, 'I think the Yeti is right there.' And what you're trying to do is you're trying to make them actually go find one of these footprints.
- Hide and seek — One person is the yeti. The people who are the explorers, they leave the room and I'm going to take these three pieces and I'm just going to hide them somewhere in in our house.
- Photo Interpretation — I'm going to take a picture of the Yeti with my with my phone. Uh and and this is where I like a lot of the theme of it. I I try to like make it blurry and like and kind of like obstruct, you know, like it's kind of an interesting theme. You try to make the photo kind of not great.
