The Hide and Seek side quest in South Park: The Stick of Truth is a charming and humorous mission that tasks players with tracking down six hidden kindergartners around the town. Initiated by speaking to the lead child near the playground, this quest requires a keen eye and thorough exploration of various environments. Finding every single missing child rewards the player with valuable experience points and adds new friends to their in-game social network.
Locating the Main Street and Park Hiders
The first few children are relatively easy to spot if you know where to look. One child can be found hiding behind the large lamp post near the local bank building on Main Street. Another kindergartner has squeezed behind the bushes right outside the community center, requiring you to move close to reveal them. A third child is located inside the local park, positioned cleverly behind a tree trunk near the pond.
Tracking Down the Out of Town Explorers
The remaining children require players to venture slightly further outside the central residential zones of South Park. You will need to check the farm area in the northeastern quadrant of the map, where a child is hiding behind a large haystack near the barn. Another adventurous kindergartner has made their way down to the sewer entrance, tucked away behind a wooden barricade near the industrial zone. The final child is located near Stark's Pond, concealed behind a large rock formation along the western path.
Maximizing Rewards and Quest Completion
Once you have located all six kindergartners, you must return to the original quest giver at the playground to officially complete the objective. Finishing this task grants a significant boost to your overall progression and helps unlock unique achievements. It serves as a fantastic break from the intense main storyline while showcasing the game's excellent environmental design and humor.
