THE BASICS

How to Play

Two teams, one mission. Hiders paint and hide. Seekers find everyone before time runs out.

HIDER

Paint. Hide. Survive.

Start as a white chameleon body
Paint yourself to match the environment
Choose a hiding spot and strike a pose
Stay still until the timer ends

SEEKER

Find. Tag. Win.

Wait while Hiders prepare
Scan the area for anomalies
Look for color mismatches and shape breaks
Tag Hiders before time runs out

The Three Pillars of Success

Painting

Match colors and patterns from nearby surfaces using the Meccha Paint system

Position

Choose hiding spots where your camouflage has natural advantages

Pose

Strike poses that mimic nearby objects and blend your silhouette

HIDER GUIDE

Become Invisible

Master the art of camouflage with these proven hiding strategies.

01

Match Before You Move

Sample colors from your intended hiding spot BEFORE committing. Use the eyedropper tool to pick exact shades.

Priority: HIGH

02

Silhouette First, Color Second

A wrong shape will get you caught instantly. Match your contour to nearby objects before worrying about exact colors.

Priority: CRITICAL

03

Stay Absolutely Still

Motion is the #1 giveaway. Once hidden, do NOT adjust your position. Movement triggers instant detection.

Most Common Mistake

04

Go for "Boring" Spots

High-traffic areas look tempting but backfire. Pick low-attention zones where Seekers rarely look.

Pro Tip

05

Break Your Body Into Zones

Torso matches wall, limbs match floor trim, head matches ceiling. Paint in sections for best coverage.

Advanced Technique

06

Embrace Imperfection

Perfect color matches look suspicious. Real surfaces have noise. Add slight variations to feel "natural."

Key Insight

SEEKER GUIDE

Spot Every Hider

Train your eye to find what others miss. Here's how Seekers find hidden players.

Scanning Patterns

1

Scan High to Low

Start from ceiling level and work down. Players often forget to match overhead elements.
2

Look for Silhouette Breaks

Even with perfect colors, wrong shapes stand out against backgrounds.
3

Check Corners First

Corners and edges are natural hiding spots. Start there before open areas.

Red Flags to Watch

"Too Perfect" Matches

Real surfaces have noise. Perfect colors are often fake.
Shadows Point Wrong

Check lighting direction. Hiders often forget to match shadows.
Slight Movement

Even tiny adjustments are visible. Watch for any shifting.

PAINTING MASTER

Meccha Paint System

Your primary weapon. Master these techniques to become truly invisible.

Essential Techniques

1

Eyedropper Sampling

Use the eyedropper (spoid) tool to pick exact colors from surfaces. Sample multiple points and blend for best results.

2

Gradient Blending

Don't just pick one color. Real surfaces have subtle gradients. Layer colors for depth.

3

Lighting Consistency

Sample colors in the lighting where you'll hide. Colors look different in shadow vs direct light.

4

Pattern Replication

For patterned surfaces (checkers, tiles), practice the pattern layout before hiding time ends.

Common Painting Mistakes

Only Matching One Color

Walls have shadows, floors have highlights. Sample the full range, not just one spot.

Rushing the Paint Job

You have preparation time. Use it. A quick sloppy paint is worse than no paint at all.

Forgetting the Back

Seeker can approach from any angle. Paint your entire visible body, not just front.

Copying Nearby Colors Blindly

Match colors from your hiding SPOT, not where you're standing. Distance matters.
