Best Hiding Spots

Wall-Mounted Bikes

Paint yourself to match the bikes' shapes and colors. The mind reads bike-shaped objects as "bikes" — not characters. With good color matching, you read as just another piece of wall decor. Paint in metallic silver and black.

Under Stacked Chairs

Crouch under a tall stack of chairs. The shadow created by the stack naturally darkens you, and chair legs break up your outline. Paint to match the floor color underneath.

Bright Ceiling Light

Attach to a ceiling light fixture and match its bright, glowing color. The light itself dazzles anyone who looks directly at it, making it nearly impossible to distinguish a camouflaged player. Most seekers avoid looking at bright lights.

Exit Sign Disguise

Paint yourself as an exit sign. The rectangular shape is easy to replicate, and exit signs are so common that seekers completely filter them out as background. Use bright red/green depending on the map's exit sign color.

Behind Individual Chairs

Position behind a single chair with precise color matching to the wall. Surprisingly effective — seekers walk past expecting groups of chairs to hide players, not single chairs.

Shadowed Corners

Find darker corners or recessed areas between ceiling tiles and walls. Lie flat with minimal paint. The fluorescent lighting creates harsh shadows that naturally conceal dark shapes.
