Take Hide and Seek to New Heights at Flip Out Leeds

Imagine the ultimate game of hide and seek. Now, picture it in a place so big it makes your school hall look like a shoebox, and the players are some of the most famous people on the internet. Well, that's exactly what happened when the YouTube legends, the Sidemen, brought their massively popular Hide and Seek series to Yorkshire. They didn't just pick any old park; they took over Flip Out Leeds, the world's biggest indoor adventure park, for an epic challenge that has already racked up millions upon millions of views. The incredible video, a huge international event for their fans, went live on 1st February, putting a massive spotlight right on Leeds.

The ultimate playground for YouTube legends

For anyone who follows YouTube, the Sidemen need no introduction. They're a proper phenomenon. So when they decide to do something, they do it big. Their Hide and Seek series is one of the most popular formats on their channel, a regular event that fans all over the world look forward to. Think of it like the World Cup, but with more hiding in ball pits. For their latest adventure, six of the seven Sidemen crew - KSI, Miniminter, TBJZL, Behzinga, Vikkstar123, and W2S - descended on Flip Out Leeds. And they weren't alone. They brought along some other famous YouTube stars for the filming, including friends Danny Aarons, JME, and AB, to make the challenge even bigger. The goal was simple: transform this massive indoor adventure park into the best hiding playground ever created. This wasn't just a bit of fun; it was a full-scale production, creating a video that would be watched by their international fanbase. The resulting video got so many views so quickly, proving just how popular this series is.

What makes Flip Out Leeds so special?

So, what makes a place worthy of these YouTube legends? For a start, its sheer size. Flip Out Leeds spans an incredible 100,000 sq ft. To put that into perspective, that’s bigger than the pitch at Wembley Stadium. It's the kind of space where you could genuinely lose someone for a good while. This massive park provided the perfect epic backdrop for the Sidemen's antics. It's not just a couple of trampolines; it’s a full-on indoor adventure park packed with all sorts of activities. The filming showcased the venue's potential for fun and chaos. Just imagine trying to find someone in a place with so many things going on.

The list of activities is pretty wild, offering endless possibilities for a hide and seek challenge. Here’s a little taste of what the Sidemen had to play with:

• A huge trampoline arena with over 150 interconnected trampolines.

• An 18,000 sq ft inflatable obstacle course.

• Dodgeball courts for some friendly fire.

• Super slides that are definitely not for the faint-hearted.

• A multi-storey Ninja Playground.

• A drift bike arena.

• A full-on roller disco.

• Even a Laser Quest arena, which is a game-changer for hide and seek.

The Laser Quest part alone is a two-storey, space-themed maze with catwalks, music, and dramatic lighting. It's basically a movie set, making it an ideal spot for the high-energy filming the Sidemen are known for. With so many different zones, the challenge was on to find the most creative hiding spots. This park is a dream for anyone looking for an adventure, and it’s no wonder these famous stars picked it for their video.

More than just a park, it's a filming destination

Since opening its doors in October last year, Flip Out Leeds has quickly become one of the city's most popular new attractions, welcoming an impressive 120,000 visitors in its first three months alone. But hosting the Sidemen takes things to a whole new level. It shows that the indoor adventure park isn't just a place for a weekend trip; it's a prime location for major content creators. For the people behind the park, it was a massive moment. Richard Beese, the Founder and CEO of We Do Play, which operates Flip Out Leeds, was clearly thrilled about it.

He said:

Welcoming the Sidemen and their friends to Flip Out Leeds was incredibly exciting for us. Their Hide and Seek videos are iconic and are usually filmed in unique, closed settings such as military bases, private houses and even islands, so to host one in a venue that the public can actually visit is really special.” He added, “Seeing them make full use of the scale and variety of the venue was brilliant. Flip Out Leeds is designed for big experiences and big moments, so to feature in a video watched by millions around the world is something we’re extremely proud of.

This collaboration has really cemented the park's reputation. It’s a signal to other creators that if you want an epic backdrop for your next big project, Yorkshire has got you covered. The Sidemen's video is basically the best advertisement you could ask for, showing off all the fun and different activities available.

Fancy a look yourself?

The best part about all of this? Unlike the private islands or secret military bases the Sidemen sometimes use, Flip Out Leeds is open to everyone. You can actually go and try out the very same activities seen in the video. After watching the Sidemen's hide and seek challenge, you’ll probably have a few ideas for your own adventure.
