How a round works
Step
At the start of each round, the game assigns every player a role — hider or sniper. You can check which role you have by reading what appears on your screen at the beginning. From there, each team works toward opposite goals until one side wins.
- Check your role read the on-screen prompt at the start so you know whether to hide or hunt.
- Hiders stay alive survive until the time limit expires and your team wins the round.
- Snipers finish the job eliminate every hider before the timer runs out to win.

Playing as a hider
Tips
Hiders can change their camouflage color during a round, so switch it to match whatever surface is nearby — a dark wall calls for a dark color. When you hear a sniper fire, use the sound to judge where the shot came from and move in the opposite direction.
- Match your camo to the nearest surface color and adjust it again whenever you move to a new area.
- Never stay in one spot for too long — staying put makes it easier for snipers to narrow down your position.
- Move at unpredictable times and in unexpected directions so snipers cannot read your pattern.
- Use gunshots as information — when you hear a rifle fire, figure out the direction and put distance between you and it.
- Avoid grouping with other hiders because a single sniper can tag multiple players in the same area.
Playing as a sniper
Tips
Snipers need to cover the whole map before time runs out. Break it into zones mentally and clear each one in order so nothing gets skipped.
- Work through the map in sections so you do not miss corners or small rooms.
- Look for colors that are slightly off from the background — a hider who picked the wrong shade sticks out under close inspection.
- Watch for movement, not just shapes — even a small shift can reveal a hider who is otherwise perfectly blended in.
- Camp choke points and exits after your sweep, because hiders trying to reposition will pass through them.
What spending does and does not affect
Table
The game's spins and cash are tied to appearance, not to any gameplay advantage. Every player uses the same sniper rifle and has access to the same camouflage mechanic from the moment they join.
| Camouflage mechanic | available to all hiders, no purchase needed |
| Sniper rifle | identical for every player in every match |
| Round outcomes | decided by skill and strategy, not by what anyone has spent |
| Spins and cash | affect appearance only |

Common questions
FAQDo I get to choose whether I am a hider or a sniper?
Roles are assigned randomly at the start of each round, so you cannot pick. Because the assignment changes each round, you will get to experience both sides over the course of a session.
What happens if hiders survive the whole round?
If every hider is still alive when the timer expires, the hider team wins that round. A new round then begins.
Can I change my camouflage color mid-round?
Yes, hiders can switch their camouflage color at any point during a round.
