Yasiel Puig and Justin Turner are not very good at playing hide-and-seek

On Monday morning, Day 1 of the Dodgers' community tour leading up to their FanFest on Jan. 28, the team challenged Los Angeles to a city-wide game of hide-and-seek.

The rules were simple: Justin Turner and Yasiel Puig were to hide somewhere in the city while millions of Dodgers fans attempted to find them. The game even had hashtags:

Hints or not, with 500 square miles of hiding spots available, the game could have taken a while. Puig could've posted up in Echo Park, Turner could've settled under a bush in Beverly Hills, and it could've been days before anyone found them.
But, uh, guys? The whole point of hide-and-seek is the hiding. Tweeting out photos of your hiding spot -- and geo-tagging them -- does not seem like the most effective strategy:

As one might expect, it didn't take long for some Dodgers fans to track Puig down, serving coffee and signing autographs in Studio City:

And here's Turner, doing a lousy job of hiding but a good job hanging with fans:

Yeah, it's pretty clear that Dodgers fans won this one. Good thing Puig and Turner are better at playing baseball than they are hide-and-seeking.
