Chameleon Guide: How a round works for each side
About
OverviewChameleon is a hide-and-seek painting game where hiders paint their character to match the map and try to survive until time runs out, while seekers use special abilities to track them down. This guide covers the controls, camouflage technique, and strategies for both roles so you can hold your own no matter which side you end up on.

How a round works for each side
Table
Every round splits players into hiders and seekers. Hiders win by staying hidden until the timer runs out; seekers win by finding every hider before it does.
| Hiders | paint your character to match the map colors and blend into the background |
| Hiders | use Freeze to stop moving and look like part of the scenery |
| Hiders | use Taunt to distract seekers |
| Seekers | activate Abilities to hunt down hiders more effectively |
| Outcome | hiders win if any survive to the end; seekers win if they find everyone first |

Painting your camouflage as a hider
Step
Camouflage is the core mechanic of the hider role. The Color Picker is your most important tool for matching the background.
- Sample the background point at the surface near you and press C to grab its exact color before you paint anything
- Use Fill first press G to repaint large sections of your character quickly when you arrive somewhere new
- Finish with Brush switch to B and touch up any edges or small details that Fill missed
- Freeze once you match press F to stop moving only after your colors line up with the background, not before
- Repaint immediately when you move every new spot has different colors, so run through the Fill and Brush steps again right away

Common questions
FAQHow do I get better at blending in as a hider?
Use the Color Picker to sample the exact shade of the surface near you before painting. Finish large areas with Fill, then refine edges with Brush, and only Freeze once your colors actually match.
Do I need to spend Robux to be competitive?
The basic abilities for both hiders and seekers are the same for every player, so skill and judgment decide who wins. Codes handed out through the developer's group give free rewards, making them worth collecting.
