Reverse Tag

Multiplayer Hide and Seek by morugame, released October 26, 2026. Free in your browser.

Open on itch.io

Reverse Tag is a free browser hide-and-seek game released on itch.io on October 26, 2026. One player is It and gets hunted; everyone else searches a dark house with flashlights, and lit tiles stay lit for the whole team. It survives by hiding for 3 minutes. Online rooms take 2 to 6 players with a 5-letter code and no account, and a solo mode adds bots.

What kind of game is Reverse Tag?

Reverse Tag turns tag around. It sees the whole map but not which parts the seekers have lit, so stepping into the light is always a risk. A heartbeat speeds up in four steps as the other side gets closer. Classic mode is also included: the red It chases, everyone runs, and whoever is caught first is It next round.

How to play

  • As It: survive 3 minutes. Hide in wardrobes, lockers, crates and under desks, and use vents only It can pass. Red gift boxes hold items such as smoke bombs.
  • As a seeker: touch It to win. Check hiding spots from the door side. Black gift boxes hold flares, sprints and pings.
