The chase group follows in the time interval ( about 15 minutes) of the first group and has the task of finding it. On the basis of designed paper scraps or sawdust (including sawdust ) the Versteckergruppe marked their route to destination. In this case, one may also interpret astray, to deceive the pursuer. Have the pursuers sought or found the hider, the aiming at cooperation game is over and the pages can be swapped.

Instead of the chips also agreed signal ( labeled list, incised arrows chalk arrows, arranged stones or sticks) can be used.
