A type of Room Shuffle where the adults need some alone time but there are kids in the room. The adults will disguise an attempt to make the kids go away as a game, an errand, or something like that. With a bit of luck, it'll work. Despite the obvious subtext in the explanation above, this trope doesn't only apply to sexual situations; G-rated examples include, but are not limited to, times when the adults need to talk about something the kids probably won't take too well (e.g. the death of a friend), or when they just need a break from playing with the kids. Compare other types of Room Shuffle. Can overlap with Snipe Hunt and The Compliance Game. Also related is Hide-and-Seek Horror. |

Full House: Possibly referenced, at the end of the episode "Girls Will Be Boys", if Michelle's words to Aaron before he goins Michelle and their fellow peers are any indication. Michelle pulls one such stunt when she tries to get Nicky and Alex to stop tailing her at the start of the episode "Under the Influence". Again in "Under the Influence" episode, though implied and overlaps with Hypocritical Humor: When Michelle complains to Stephanie about having someone else tagging along everywhere, having just managed to get Nicky and Alex out of her hair, if only for a moment, Stephanie insinuates that Michelle acted the same way to Stephanie herself in the past as Nicky and Alex are now acting towards Michelle. |

Al suggests a game of hide-and-go-seek instead, with Peg and Marcy doing the hiding. Al and Jefferson turn on the TV the moment they are sure Peg and Marcy are out of the room.note It doesn't last, because their next scene has them playing Twister. | |

Steven Universe: The Movie: Played for Drama in Spinel's backstory. She was created to be a "playmate" of Pink Diamond, who grew tired of how clingy she was and left her behind in Pink's garden when Pink went to found her first colony. Pink ordered Spinel to wait, under the pretense that it was one of their games, and apparently forgot about her. For six thousand years, and it wasn't until Spinel caught Steven's transmission from the start of the movie that she realized she'd been abandoned. She snaps immediately. | |

The Owl House: The Collector reveals that this was done to him by his siblings The Archivists. The Archivists sent the Collector down to the Demon Realm to "see if the Titans want to play". Their true motivations for doing this remains unclear, given that there is some implication The Collector was sent down as The Bait. | |

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish: Puss's self-proclaimed sidekick and "therapy dog" Perrito says that his old family used to "play hide and seek" with him all time, but he always found them again... until they tied him up in an old sock with a rock in it and threw it in a river. But at least he grew into the sock and got a new sweater out of the experience! | |

Paige did something like this to Jason in FoxTrot. During a game of freeze tag, he was left "frozen" in the yard while she went inside to watch TV. Also happens with Peter sending Jason and Marcus out to play hide-and-seek so he can have some alone time with Denise. |

On one episode of Monsters vs. Aliens (2013), Dr. Cockroach gets B.O.B. to play hide-and-seek so he can go away and let him work on a rocket to destroy an asteroid before it hits Earth. Unfortunately, B.O.B.'s hiding place is the fuel tank for the rocket, and so he ends up inside the rocket itself as it is about to launch. | |

Implied to have happened in Unimaa - Mika is asked to play hide-and-seek with the younger members of Frida's Friends Club, to which he says "I'm pretty good at that - my big sister Lumi has played with me before, and she's never found me at all." Mika also does this to them at the start of Act 3 as part of a distraction so he can go off to look for his two older siblings to help him return home. | |

The final sequence of What Remains of Edith Finch is a flashback to 11-year-old Edith. Her mother Edie and her great-grandmother Dawn start arguing, so Edie tells her about some (probably non-existent) present in the hallway. The trope is subverted in that in the end she clarifies that she sends Edith away because they are arguing. | |
