Four ways to play

Go solo with bots.
Or bring the group.

Pick a hiding style, pick a game type, and try to keep a straight face. While hiders hide, seekers play mini games.

  • Hide style

    Hide and Paint

    Sample colors and patterns, paint your character, then crouch, curl up, lie flat or cling to a wall.

  • Hide style

    Prop Hunt

    Copy an object in the map and tuck yourself among the real props. Seekers have to spot what doesn’t belong.

  • Game type

    Red vs Blue

    A team series that swaps hiding and seeking between rounds. Play it with Hide and Paint or Prop Hunt.

  • Game type New

    Infection

    Every hider who gets hit becomes a seeker. Survive to the buzzer, or infect everyone.

Four places to disappear

Every map
is free.

A party house, a tropical island, a medieval keep and a glass orangery, plus a lobby where everyone waits for the host.

  • Gecko House front gate and bounce castle
    Gecko HouseLiving rooms, a kitchen, a backyard gazebo and a bounce castle.

Watch

Remain calm. Report everything.
