When someone tries to bypass an awkward situation when they're around people they have nothing to say to by pretending to be busy doing something with their cell phone. In fact, they know they're just looking at old text messages and lightly tapping the buttons or something.
Generally for people who don't know how to make idle conversation.

(One person is on the elevator when another person they KINDA know steps on)
Jim: Hi Sue, nice weather we're having.
Sue: Yeah it sure is!
....(awkward silence)
(both pull out their cell phones and stare at them blankly until the elevator reaches a stop)
(Bob who knows them both enters)
Bob: The old hiding in your cellphone trick eh? Doesn't anyone know how to make small talk anymore?

The film is based around "Otokoyo", a game of hide and seek played by children near the ruins of an abandoned old city. The children who play this disappear, believed to be spirited away by demons. Kakurenbo follows Hikora, a boy who joins the game with hopes of finding his missing sister. The story line is built on the idea that Tokyo is losing its natural aesthetic, which includes child's games such as hide and seek in order for industrial progress to ensue i.e. lighting the city of Tokyo costing innocence of childhood games.
Hey, instead of normal hide and seek, let's play Otokoyo! (reference to the movie Kakurenbo: Hide and Seek)
