Learn the basics of Meccha Chameleon: how rounds work, what Hiders do, what Seekers do, and the habits that help new players win early matches.

First match checklist

Create or join a room, learn the hiding timer, test the paint controls, and choose simple wall or prop matches before trying advanced camouflage.

New Hider advice

Paint broad colors first, then copy one detail from the background. A believable pose matters more than perfect color on your first few rounds.

New Seeker advice

Search systematically: walls, props, corners, floor objects, then high surfaces. Random chasing wastes the most valuable timer seconds.
