Chameleons: Hide and Paint is a multiplayer hide-and-seek arcade game where survival depends on color matching and clever positioning. In this game, blending in is your best defense. Copy the colour of a sofa, wall, or rug, paint your character, and strike a pose that makes you look like part of the room. You can also become the hunter, searching for disguised players with a paint blaster before the round ends.

Hide in Plain Sight or Hunt Your Opponents

Each round revolves around two opposing roles. Choose your role and focus on its objective.

As a hider, you must choose your disguise carefully and stay unnoticed until time runs out. Matching colours is only part of the challenge: your pose also needs to fit the surroundings.

Hunters must pay attention to suspicious shapes and tiny movements to uncover players hiding in the interior. A decoy clone can distract an opponent, while taunting earns points but reveals your approximate location. Knowing when to take a risk and when to stay still makes a difference.
