I think one of the most common fan made modes that people like to do is 'Hide And Seek.' so I was thinking...why not officially add it into Secret Neighbor as a Brawl Mode?

The basic idea is the Neighbor will spawn in his room while the kids/hiders will spawn outside the neighbor's house, (IDK what map this will be on. Let's do Map 1 for example). Neighbor cannot turn into kid form and will have to remain in that state for the entire game. The kids get a short period to run and hide before the Neighbor's bookshelves get activated with a notification that the Neighbor is now seeking. Kids have two ways to win, hiding until time runs out or using the many bathtubs to speed up the time in the game and provide a speed boost (Bathtubs activate a bit after Neighbor's bookshelves are unlocked). For the Neighbor, the only way to win is to find all the hiders and capture them before the time runs out.

Kids and Neighbors cannot use their abilities, nor is throwing items allowed. However everyone is given a flashlight to use to illuminate their path. There is ONE sole exception for this and that's the super sonar in the neighbor room. This sonar (when its cooldown ends) when used detects all kids and even the neighbor himself when used even if you're hiding inside of a closet so kids cannot remain in the same spot or hog a closet the entire game. Neighbor's stamina is extended as well as his speed (optional)

Kids will gain XP and coins for how long they're alive and hidden as well as how many power up bathtubs they used
Neighbor will gain XP and coins for how many hiders he grabs and possibly how quick he wins the match

(OPTIONAL)
The powertub tubs not only speed up time but unlock the classes abilities
Bagger allows him to carry items and use chairs. (Rifles will not spawn, don't think about it.)
Brave allows herself to escape from being caught after using 2-3 power up tubs
Detective can use his photo to see where the Neighbor is (with a heavy cooldown)
Inventor gains access to his tinker skill again and can build select items like the Threat Detector
Leader can blind the neighbor and run fast, inspiration has more of a cooldown as should be a last resort
Scout gets her slingshot back but only a few nuts.

The neighbor can even use bathtubs to power himself up however time will still be reduced
Scary Neighbor can set up his traps again to catch the kids if they decide to move around.
Butcher can use pathfinder and if he uses another bathtub, he'll gain a short ranged hook
Clown can disguise to get the drop on the kids, and if he activates another one, gets a single use smokebomb
Ghost will...eh, I don't know about him, I don't think it's a good idea if he can fly around as it'd make the game too easy.
Guest will regain his leap ability.

Let me know what y'all think in the comments, leave your own feedback yourself too.

I really love everything in here, read it very quick. But with the bathtabs, I guess it will become hide & seek chase? Because kids be running around to bathtubs instead of hiding well many will be hiding though. Other wise great job and heres a baggerthumbsup

It provides two ways for the kids to win. Hope you're a good enough hider, or take the risk and knock down that timer to get some abilities

#

Keep in mind, it's hard to save your friends in this mode

True, half can hide and half can find. That will be very good but needs teamwork

#

I do like your idea a lot

#

But imo classes shouldn't be a thing

nova plinth
#

that's why i said it would be optional

paper talon
#

Oh

#

Yeah

nova plinth
#

A setting or just thrown out entirely

paper talon
#

I think the neighbor should have some tools by default though, maybe he has the ability to use smoke bombs

#

And kids should be able to pick up chairs by default too i think

#

To block doors

I feel the bathtubs make this pretty one-sided against the neighbor with the sheer amount of kid players and would definitely need to be nerfed for what I'm assuming to be a 3 minute time drop with each (going off of prop hunt mode). Whether that be longer startup, some x-ray vision for the neighbor after use, or requiring multiple kids to activate.

nova plinth
#

i wasn't thinking 3 minutes. The bathtubs combined wouldn't be able to run out of the clock, you still need to hide

paper talon
#

I think the tubs should take a while to operate but if the kids are interrupted while activated then the progress resets

#

And neighbor get a notification when a tub is being used

nova plinth
#

I mean...it is VERY loud.

steel holly
#

overall a good concept for a hide n seek mode

nova plinth
#

I didn't just want it to be prop hunt but now the kids need to hide

#

i wanted to give a reason to play it and to fun and fair

paper talon
#

First they need to add sound occlusion to the game I think

#

Since you could still here closets opening from anywhere

nova plinth
#

Even Jacky gave it a thumbs up-

paper talon
#

And can hear tibs

#

Tubs

nova plinth
#

Hm that is true.

#

Neighbor shouldn't able to hear everything in this mode.

steel holly
#

definitely too loud for hiding purposes

#

shouldn't make noise at all honestly

nova plinth
#

maybe the closets should be quieter in this mode...but I don't want the hiders to just flock to the closets

#

i want them to be creative

paper talon
#

What if when a neighbor catches a kid instead of catching them they just instantly get downed (auto revive off) so you can be saved if a kid revives you but the time it takes to revive someone will be kinda longer. And the neighbor can smoke bomb kids to make them see badly and slow them, but not do damage

nova plinth
#

that's why i gave clown only one smokebomb

paper talon
#

Also I think you should be able to throw items, like to break a window and all, but maybe it just won't stun or damage the neighbor

nova plinth
#

i didn't want them to be able to spam them over and over to clear out hiding spots

paper talon
#

Yeah

nova plinth
#

i don't think any of ghosts abilities would work with the bathtub.

#

cause lights are useless, flying would make it too easy...

paper talon
#

I have 2 ideas for more brawl modes

steel holly
#

maybe he'd gain access to flying but no teleportation? I don't know, that'd be tough to balance

paper talon
nova plinth
#

go ahead and write them

paper talon
#

Going to take a while

#

I'll wait until I get back on my pc

steel holly
#

capture the flag?

paper talon
#

Ghost hunt

steel holly
#

paper talon

#
