Play first-person hide and seek as a monkey: hide, flee, throw rocks, and every caught player switches sides.
Is Burg worth it?
Burg is worth it if…
- you grew up on hide and seek and always thought it needed rocks
- you want a silly, fast game to play with a group of friends
- you like movement games where hopping and rolling well actually matters
- you enjoy PvP where the rules flip mid-round and yesterday's prey hunts you back

Hide, seek, and switch sides
One team hides, one team seeks, and the seeker gets blinded while everyone scatters to their spot. Hiders pick anywhere from sensible to ridiculous, then use abilities like a dodge roll that boosts you into the air and makes you a hard target. Seekers get powers of their own, including one that lets them see through the map to spot hiding monkeys, so no spot stays safe forever. The twist that keeps rounds tense: when a hider is caught, they join the seekers, and the hunt continues until a single player is left standing. The friend who was hiding next to you a minute ago is now hunting you.
What should you know before playing?
Can you play it solo?
Burg is built as a multiplayer hide and seek game, so it needs other players to work as intended. There is no meaningful single player mode, and the player population is small, so the most reliable way to get a good session is bringing your own group. With friends in a server, it shines.
How deep does the movement go?
Deeper than a monkey game has any right to go. Rolling, hopping and strafing are all in your hands, with little automation to help you, so skill shows. Players who stick with it learn to chain rolls and jumps to escape seekers, and getting good at movement is a big part of the long-term fun.
Is it actually funny, or just tagged that way?
The comedy comes from the setup itself: brightly colored monkeys hurling rocks at each other through castle hallways while playing children's hide and seek. Add abilities, wobbly chases and friends betraying friends, and rounds tend to fall apart in the best way. It is a game you laugh during, not one that tells jokes at you.
