Quick Tip: A slightly imperfect color with a convincing silhouette can be safer than a perfect color in an obviously human-shaped position.

Build a believable disguise
- Pick a wall, floor edge, or object with a shape that breaks up your avatar outline.
- Use the picker or paint tools to match the nearby tone rather than a random bright color.
- Freeze once the pose and angle look natural.
- Avoid clustering with other Hiders because one catch can expose the group.
When to move
Move only when the Seeker is far enough away to give you time to repaint and settle. A last-second sprint usually creates a stronger clue than a slightly imperfect blend.
