Fans of Meccha Chameleon are planting painted 3D-printed figures in coffee shops, grocery stores and other public spots, turning the game's camouflage challenge into a real-world scavenger hunt.
Millions of players joined the low-priced Steam game within weeks, where players paint chameleon characters to blend into their surroundings and avoid detection.
TikTok and Instagram posts show increasingly elaborate designs, including figures matched to a London coffee shop bathroom wall and to Lay's chip bags in Hong Kong.
