Seeker is a social game that is played at Speed School. The concept is very simple: a player is given a contract to locate another player that is also playing the game. To complete the contract the player must simply locate their target and "tag" them, Seeker is just a high-tech version of hide and seek. However, there are a few restrictions to when a contract can be completed. First, you can not eliminate someone during class or during a meeting. The intent of this rule is that the game should not disrupt a class. Also, the only "safe" area in the game is the Speed School Student Council office. Student Council operates this game and does not want to discourage those that are playing from using the council office.Seeker is a continuously played game that lasts for the entire semester. Players are issued contracts that last for 72 hours and must complete their contract before it expires. When a player has a contract completed on them they are out of the game for 24 hours. New contracts are issued periodically to players who do not have an active contract. Additionally, you can drop out of the game at any time or join in on the fun at any time.
Spring 2010 was the first semester that Seeker was played. After a total of 870 issued contracts with 240 of them being successfully completed, the game was found to be a great success. The next round of Seeker will begin on May 17th 2010. Those who have already registered should switch their accounts to active so they will be issued contracts when the game starts. If you do not have an account you will need the "game password" before you can register, which you can get from anyone who has a registered account.
Best of luck to the players!
