Compact sphere — breaks human silhouette
Arched over objects — hides on top of furniture
Diagonal alignment — perfect for stairs & roofs
Spread-eagle on flat walls — most versatile pose
Arms out — fills doorframes & corners naturally
Compressed block — vanishes behind small objects

The checkered floor is your best friend — its repeating pattern creates visual fatigue. Use Curl-Up pose against crate textures for maximum blend.
Sugarland's bright colors let you get away with slightly imperfect color matching. Focus on shape — Backbend over cake decorations is nearly invisible.
Slanted pose is king here on stairs. The lobby mural wall is a top-3 hiding spot in the entire game — sample both the light and shadow areas.
The uniform yellow is deceiving — tiny roughness mismatches are glaring here. Use the ceiling lights' glare as natural camouflage. Starfish against flat walls works best.
The 6 golden rules per role. Screenshot and keep on your phone while you play.
Each mode demands a different strategy. Know the meta before you queue.
| Mode | Rules | Painter Strategy | Hunter Strategy | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | Survive until timer runs out | Relocate after whistle — high risk, high reward. Play mind games with clones. | Systematic room-clear. Outside → in. Use the whistle timing to reposition. | Medium |
| Infection | Caught painters join the hunter team | Play conservative early. Each lost teammate makes survival exponentially harder. | Rush the first capture — it snowballs fast. Prioritize isolated painters. | Hard |
| Double | Teams swap roles between rounds | Memorize enemy hiding spots during your hunter round. Use their own tricks against them. | Apply lessons from your painter round. You know where they think is safe. | Medium |
| Reverse Chicken | Everyone hides, then everyone hunts. Points scored. | Keep your final paint job minimal — only that one is revealed. Use clones as decoys. | Don't fixate on the displayed paint job. Hunt for clones and body shapes instead. | Easy |

Novices obsess over the perfect hex code. Veterans know: if your outline reads as "human," no color match saves you. Use poses to become geometry.
Dark corners are the first place every hunter checks. Instead, pick well-lit areas with visual complexity — shelves, crates, patterned walls. Let clutter do the work.
Never paint with one flat color. Sample the mid-tone, the shadow, and the highlight separately. Press V to toggle shadows OFF before your final check.
These sliders are the #1 forgotten setting. A shiny player on a matte surface is visible from across the map. Match the material, not just the color.
Place clones to create false readings. In Reverse Chicken Race, your most recent paint is revealed — keep it tiny. Let old clones confuse the hunters.
Never use the same hiding spot twice in a session. Good hunters build a mental map of your habits. Switch maps, switch spots, stay unpredictable.
Elite painters match hex codes pixel-perfect. You're hunting shapes: broken symmetry, strange protrusions, clipping body parts, texture seams that don't align.
Pick a direction (clockwise). Start at the perimeter. Sweep inward. Never sprint randomly — visual information blurs. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
A painter invisible from eye level pops into view when you crouch. Jump. Strafe against walls. Shift your camera constantly — geometry reveals everything.
Muzzle flash illuminates dark corners better than any gamma setting. Every bullet should give you intel. Don't spray — place shots deliberately.
Human vision detects movement instantly, but resolves detail best when stationary. Walk. Stop. Scan. Move. Stop. Scan. Sprinting is for the last 10 seconds.
Rookie hunters have horizontal tunnel vision. Elite painters exploit vertical space — high ledges, ceiling corners, floor recesses. That's your real hunting ground.
