Maps & Hiding Spots Guide

House Map Zones

House splits into kitchen, living room, upstairs hallway, and garage wings. Kitchen islands anchor strong box props because seekers sweep countertops before checking floor-level crates. Living room sofas hide wide props with shadowed backs toward television glow—sample warm gray, not screen blue. Upstairs rewards low ottomans near railings where vertical tags whiff if seekers stay on stair approach. Garage tools clutter masks thin props poorly; prefer laundry baskets duplicated near washer textures.

Seekers should lap clockwise from kitchen to garage, then upstairs reverse to catch hiders rotating down mid-round. Hiders fleeing kitchen pressure can reset in garage, but experienced seekers predict that path—vary escape timing using freeze covered in the Camouflage Guide . House ranks beginner-friendly on the maps tier list for both roles.

Grocery Store Aisles

Grocery Store compresses sightlines into parallel aisles with repeating shelf colors—ideal for cereal boxes and canned goods props. Power spots sit at aisle intersections where two color planes meet; paint both planes’ samples for seamless edges. Freezer banks use cool whites that punish warm eyedropper picks; drop saturation aggressively. Checkout lanes expose hiders during late sweeps—treat them as transit zones, not camps.

Seekers clearing Grocery should walk the main thorofare before dead-end side aisles, listening for prop swap audio. Hiders rotating zones can move from dry goods to produce mist zones where slightly higher humidity shaders change perceived value—retune paint using the Paint Match Helper . Pair aisle knowledge with seeker routes from the Seeker Route Guide .

Bank Vault Layout

Bank introduces marble floors, teller counters, and vault anterooms with multi-level sightlines. Marble needs streaked dual-gray paint, not flat fills. Teller counters hide wide props facing customer side while seekers sweep employee side first—reverse orientation round to round. Vault doors offer dramatic props but attract scan focus; use only with elite camouflage from our camouflage reference . Stairwell landings create vertical tag angles—crouch mandatory.

Seekers split time between main floor and vault antechamber each lap; hiders counting laps can slip upstairs during second vault pass. Props tier rankings highlight Bank-friendly shapes on the props tier list . Bank punishes beginners; graduate here after House and Grocery confidence from the Beginner Guide .

Arcade Neon Floor

Arcade floods props with colored light, making hue less reliable than value matching. Hide adjacent to static cabinet sides instead of open dance floors where rim light outlines silhouettes. Prize counter zones repeat yellow reds—opy from bezel shadows, not LED strips. Seekers check machine gaps with jump tags; hiders on top of cabinets need freeze ready when footstep audio climbs ladders implicitly via nearby props.

Zone rotation moves hiders from rhythm game row to prize wall when scan cooldowns expire in the first zone. Arcade ranks high seeker payoff on the maps tier list if routes stay systematic.
