People keep organizing massive thousand-person hide-and-seek games at Ikea(宜家) though it has     1     asked people not to play in its stores.
The first evidence of this     2     dates back to 2014, when a Belgian blogger named Elise De Rijck coordinated a hide-and-seek meet-up at her local Ikea store to celebrate her 30th birthday. She     3     a Facebook group and invited her friends—but soon, thousands of people joined the group. Ikea Belgium got     4     of the plan and instead of     5     it, offered Ikea's full support, including     6     staff and security to host the event. From the photos that still     7     online, the event was a     8     , filled with people hiding under bins and beds all over the store.
For Ikea, it was a(n)     9     thing. The company soon     10     similar Facebook groups organizing games and asked them to disband, noting     11     risks. And for good reason: Ikea is full of heavy furniture and forklifts(叉车).
Just this week, authorities in Glasgow     12     a new plan for a 3,000-person game in the Scottish city's Ikea store. Employees at the local Ikea     13     the plan on Facebook and called the police, who turned away the     14     gamesters. An Ikea spokesperson told The Scotsman, “We need to make sure people are safe, and that's hard if we don't know where they are.”
Ikea's prohibition on hide-and-seek     15     . But at the same time, it's hard not to see the phenomenon as a potential      16     for the company, which has been working     17     to reinvent itself, rethinking its store designs and opening smaller urban stores that are really just a     18     for digital orders. It probably truly isn't safe to play guerilla-style games at a store that sells heavy furniture. Then again, Ikea has thousands of people      19     about driving to the very suburban box stores that wants people to visit. Isn't that an underlying opportunity, rather than a     20     ?
