About game
Staring at a blank screen while your coffee gets cold is a recipe for boredom. Paint & Hide turns those dull moments into intense rounds of cat and mouse right in your browser. You pick a side, either blending into the environment as a chameleon or tracking down sneaky opponents with your paint gun. Choosing to hide means scanning surfaces, picking the perfect color match, and freezing in place to avoid detection. Hunters face a different challenge since they must spot inconsistent shapes and follow wet footprints across the floor. Success depends on your ability to stay motionless or your precision when firing at suspicious objects. The tension builds as every discovered hider joins the hunter team, shrinking the available hiding spots. Paint & Hide works perfectly on any device, allowing you to jump into a lobby without installing a single file.
How to play
IF YOU'RE HIDING:
During the prep phase, find a hidden spot on the map.
Press PAINT [F] and paint your hero to match the background color — the eyedropper helps you grab the exact shade.
Strike a pose, freeze and don't move: a motionless player is nearly invisible, while a running one leaves wet footprints!
Survive until the timer runs out — and the win is yours.
IF YOU'RE A HUNTER:
Wait to be released onto the map, then hunt for hiders: mismatched colors, paint trails and movement all give them away.
Shoot paint at anything suspicious, but don't fire blindly — the paint gun overheats when you miss.
Every player you find becomes your ally. Find them all before the round ends!
