Location Description
Vase and dark wall corner. IGN editor verified surviving a full round here.
Why It Works
Vase & Dark Wall Corner on Mansion works because vase and dark wall corner. ign editor verified surviving a full round here. Study side room; Seekers may enter after ballroom sweep — stillness required. Published guides (IGN Editor Jen) emphasize pose discipline: Compact wedge between vases and wall. Map context from Mansion: Learn living room vs study color zones before the round ends. Color plan: Wall side samples Dark left wall; Vase side samples Vase glaze or shadow; Floor samples Corner floor dark patch. Guide rating 80/100 reflects difficulty tier from IGN — a curated estimate from published walkthroughs, not aggregated match statistics. The core advantage is silhouette breaking: seekers scan for human-shaped lumps and value mismatches before they analyze hue. Vase & Dark Wall Corner gives you clutter, depth, or verticality that buys time when paint and pose are locked in prep.
Best Colors
TheGamer, IGN, and mecchachameleongame.wiki all recommend the in-game Eyedropper (Space) on the exact surface you touch — not fixed hex/RGB codes. Lighting and patches change effective values; the table below lists which surface to sample per body part and how to apply it.
- Wall side: Dark left wall — Shadow-first
- Vase side: Vase glaze or shadow — Simple block color
- Floor: Corner floor dark patch — Align legs/base
When To Use
- When this applies: IGN Editor Jen verified: hide between vases and the dark left wall — survived a full round.
- When this applies: Small room is risky, but vase cluster adds visual noise; sample the dark wall you touch.
- Round one when seekers sweep Main Room and Kitchen first — rear zones buy time (mecchachameleongame.wiki sweep order)
- Lobbies with newer seekers who skip ceiling and rear-shelf checks
- When community-tested positions match your lobby size and seeker skill
When NOT To Use
- When three hiders already camp library or kitchen — duplicate silhouettes get scanned twice
- Ceiling pillar routes in ceiling-aware lobbies after round two
- Open Main Room floor during hunt phase — no prep time left to climb or sample
- When seekers in your lobby already slow-check this zone twice in one session — rotate

Color & Paint Plan
Body-part breakdown from published guides — sample with in-game Eyedropper (F → Space), then fine-tune HSV / metallic / roughness per surface.
| Body part | Sample from | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| Wall side | Dark left wall | Shadow-first |
| Vase side | Vase glaze or shadow | Simple block color |
| Floor | Corner floor dark patch | Align legs/base |
Pose
Compact wedge between vases and wall.
Metallic & roughness
- · Vase may have specular — bump metallic only on highlight pixels
- · Wall matte
Common Mistakes
- Copying the spot without the exact pose shown in community screenshots
- Sampling from a nearby surface instead of the pixel your body touches (SlashSkill eyedropper rule)
- Panicking and running when a seeker walks past instead of holding still
- Using default camera height habits — seekers eventually look up (Sewer pipe meta)
Counter Strategy
For seekers hunting this zone — sourced from map guides and community checklists
- Spot-specific window: Study side room; Seekers may enter after ballroom sweep — stillness required.
- Sweep rear library rows at crouch height — spine gaps read when seekers slow-walk shelf lips (mecchachameleongame.wiki)
- Check ceiling pillars on round two even if round one skipped verticality
- Bathroom tile: scan for grid-direction breaks — flat blobs fail pattern check
