Although the answer is surprising, it is true. The Gemara Pesachim talks about putting out nuts for the children in order so that they should stay up and ask "Why is this night different from other nights?". The hiding of the Afikomen is for the same reason, to keep the children awake.
Who told you that they don't.
An afikomen is a matzoh eaten at a Passover seder.
An Afikomen game is where nothing happens in life
About 10% of Jews live in Europe (It was a simple internet search may I mention, it's not that hard to just search for it) (:
The afikoman is a piece of matzoh that is set aside for the end of the seder meal. In order to keep the children awake at the seder meal which is held late into the night, many have a custom of hiding the afikoman-matzoh and letting the children search for it, and giving a prize to whoever finds it. In other families, it is the children who hide the afikomen who then 'ransom' it from the head of the table. The word afikomen itself means dessert. This practice was added to the Seder in in the Middle Ages.
The search was constant and divided by patrols. Nazis did not just search for Jews from 9 to 5 or only under the cover of night; they had no reason to hide what they were doing.
never the Jews can do it whenever

My favourite parts are hearing the youngest ask the four questions and the negotiation to ransom back the afikomen from the children.
