The 30-second explanation
Think of the game as hide-and-seek with camouflage. Hiders use paint, pose, and placement to look like part of the stage. Seekers look for shapes, colors, or movement that feel slightly wrong.
How a round usually flows
- Join a lobby or match.
- Players split into Hider and Seeker roles.
- Hiders prepare by choosing a spot, painting, and posing.
- Seekers search the stage.
- The round ends when Seekers find everyone or time runs out.
Hider basics
- Pick a believable spot early.
- Sample nearby colors and match the lighting.

- Stay still when the search begins.
Seeker basics
- Scan routes instead of wandering randomly.
