The world is playing a game of hide and seek, and you are the sole person hiding, you get 1 hour prep time, and the game lasts two days, where would you hide?
- i would hide in the middle of a dress rack in a clothing store

- In that one hour I'd do everything I can to make myself look like not me so that I could pretend to also be looking for me. Hiding in plain sight is always best

- I'd hide deep in the ocean. Would I die? Probably. Would I be a hide and seek champion? Definitely. The ocean's big. There are no downsides.

- In my father's cold war-era fallout shelter. No one have any idea it's here.

- Launch a large UFO shaped balloon and hide in my attic.

- I would go to my local movie theater, buy a large popcorn and soda, and tickets to the Emoji movie.

- I found an old foundation while hiking in some pretty deep woods once. Had a look around. Found a half-buried hatch the leads to a cellar. It was surprisingly in tact. The building is gone, the well had been filled with dirt, and there was something that looked like a stone furnace mostly buried, but the rough metal and rotting wood door of the cellar was still there.
Nothing was inside and given the state of its burial, it didn't look like anyone or anything had been there in years. It wasn't even damp like you'd expect of something underground and abandoned.
Assuming normal hide and seek rules, everyone but be has to close their eyes and look away for that hour. I live within a mile of a sporting goods store.
I could grab my truck, throw my mountain bike and kindle in and speed to the store, grab some supplies (MREs, sleeping bag, rent, a few odds and ends for making myself comfortable) and be out of the city in under 10 minutes.
If the roads are clear (because everyone pulled over to cover their eyes) I could easily go 90 for most of the trip. Once I get to a certain point, nobody would even be able to hear me.
Since people would know that the one person who is driving is the one they're after, they would know the general direction.
I left my phone at home since they could track that.
I pull into the woods, and drive a ways into the trees, hiding my truck behind some thick brush. Load the tent and sleeping bag onto my backpack, the rest goes into my saddlebags, and I start biking. By now, they're starting to look for me.
If I push myself, (I bike fairly often, and usually never less than 30 miles) I can get to the location on a bike in 2-3 hours. Helicopters may be flying to get better views, but the canopy is pretty thick right now. Chances of being seen are low.
Get off the trail, and carry my bike a ways before getting back on. This way it will be harder to spot my tire marks. The trail is littered with them but you don't often see them deviating from the path.
When I get close, get off and carry again to get to final destination. Enter cellar, go back up and make sure it looks abandoned still. If possible, lock cellar from inside. Never checked for bolts or locking points.
Set up tent in the soft glow of a lantern, eat something, and chill out reading or watching a movie. If my battery gets low, use one of the banks I bought before I realized how awful pokemon go was.
If I hear any noises, just shut everything off and stay silent.
Alternate plan: go to work, set up a hammock in the rafters of one of the stock rooms that never gets traffic. Come out after everyone went home. The only alarms are doors and three motion sensors near the doors. If I avoid those, I'm good.
