Petak Umpet

Petak umpet is a kind of game that can be played by at least 2 people, but if more and more will be more exciting. Starting with Hompimpa to determine who the "cat" (act as a seeker of his friends are hiding). The cat would eventually close my eyes or turn around while counting to 10, usually he's facing a wall, tree or anything what so she would not see his friends move to hide (where this case has a different name in each region, for example in some areas in Jakarta some call INGLO, in another area called BON and there is also a named place HONG). After the count of ten (or a matter that has been agreed, for example if the area is open, the count is usually increased to 15 or 20) and after his friends hiding, begin the "cat" in action to find those friends.
 

If the "cat" to find his friend, he would mention his name or touching INGLO BON or HONG, if only to shout the name alone, then the "cat" is considered lost and repeat the game from scratch. What if it is, when the "cat" guerrilla find her friends are hiding, one child (whose status is still as "operating target" or not found) can skulk toward INGLO, BON or HONG, if successful touch, then all my friends who previously had been found by the "cat" freed, hostage aka the "cat" is considered not yet found, so the "cat" should be re-count and repeat the game from scratch.
 

The game finished after all friends are found. And who first discovered the next cat.
There is one more term in this game, the 'fire' in question here is if the cat is hiding friends caught by the cat because the cat was told by friends who had found it first of hiding
