In hide-and-seek, you're searching behind the sofa while one player stays out of sight. The word is elusive, pronounced ih-LOO-siv, with the stress on LOO. It's an adjective, a describing word for someone or something hard to find. That player isn't just hidden; they're elusive because you can't find them. You could say, "The elusive player stayed hidden until the game was over." In hide-and-seek, elusive simply means hard to find.
