# Sasabonsam: hide, and hope it doesn't find you

> A new game for groups. Everybody hides in the yard; every round Sasabonsam searches one place, and the last one hiding sees the sunrise. It replaces The Floor Is Lava.

Sasabonsam followed the drums out of the forest, and it has come to CommonYard.

## How it plays

- **Everybody hides.** When a round starts, tap a place in the yard. One tap and you're hidden — no moving after.
- **It searches one place a round.** Anyone hiding there is taken. There are fewer places to hide every round.
- **The last one hiding wins.** They see the sunrise.

## Two kinds of night

- **Public survival** — anyone with the link, 5 to 100 players, last one standing.
- **Yard vs Yard** — everybody hides for their own yard, and the last yard standing wins.

A night can start when its host says, or by itself at a set time. Start one from **GAMES → TEAMS**, or from the **+**.

Sasabonsam takes the place of The Floor Is Lava. See [Play Sasabonsam](/guides/play-sasabonsam/).
