Map Overview
Editorial starter guide; exact spots should be verified in playtests.
Best Hiding Spots
Look for areas where two or more color families meet, then align your dominant color with the largest nearby surface.
Mixed backgrounds make it harder for Seekers to read a clean outline if your pose and color choice are calm.
Scan color boundaries twice and look for outlines that remain stable while the room moves around them.
