How to Play Prop Hunt Online — Free, No Download

What is Prop Hunt?

Prop Hunt is a multiplayer hide-and-seek mode where one team disguises themselves as objects in the map while the other team searches for them. In Mecha Chameleon, hiders don't just pick a static prop — they actively paint their chameleon to match any wall or surface, making the mode deeper and more tactical than classic Prop Hunt games.

Step 1 — Open the game (no download)

Visit mechachameleon.com in any modern browser. The game loads directly — no install, no account, no plugins. It works on desktop and mobile.

Step 2 — Join a lobby

Pick a public lobby from the server list to jump straight into a live match, or create a private room and share the code with friends. Lobbies hold up to 16 players.

Step 3 — Choose hiders or hunters

• Hiders paint themselves to match the environment and survive the timer.
• Hunters sweep the map, force motion, and eliminate hiders before time runs out.

Step 4 — Use the paint-matching ability

As a hider, hold the paint key against any wall or prop to copy its color. When the match is close enough, hunters see the environment instead of you. Movement breaks the effect — stillness wins matches.

Step 5 — Win the round

Hiders win by surviving until the timer expires. Hunters win by finding every hider before it does. Rotate hiding spots every 20–30 seconds and paint against cluttered corners for the strongest camouflage.
