# I Forced Artists to Play Meccha Chameleon

## Summary

The video documents an experiment where the creator and a friend, acting as hunters, challenge professional artists to hide in the game *Meccha Chameleon*. The artists use their creative skills to camouflage themselves within the game’s environments, making it extremely difficult for the hunters to find them. The video highlights the artists' superior hiding techniques and the resulting chaos and entertainment.

### Key Points

- **Game Popularity vs. Realism** [0:00] — The game *Meccha Chameleon* sold 10 million copies in weeks, outselling major titles like *Mario Kart World* and *Street Fighter 6*, highlighting its massive player base.
- **Experiment Motivation** [0:28] — The creator hires professional artists to test if their skills translate into effective hiding in the game, hypothesizing they would excel at camouflaging.
- **New Map Challenge** [0:47] — A new map set in an art gallery is introduced, making hiding even harder for the hunters due to the abundance of artistic elements to blend into.
- **Hunting Mechanics** [1:50] — Hiders are forced to whistle every 45 seconds, giving hunters a periodic advantage to locate them; the game also imposes a time limit for each round.
- **Hunters Struggle** [3:46] — The hunters struggle to find artists like Chibi and Cory, who use detailed in-game painting to disguise as objects (e.g., bottles, bookshelves) and exploit the environment.
- **Artists' Superiority Confirmed** [17:48] — The artists consistently outplay hunters by blending into paintings (e.g., as a nipple, Mona Lisa), achieving high scores (over 10,000 points) and leaving hunters frustrated.
- **Conclusion: AI vs Artists** [23:47] — The final verdict states that the artists' hiding abilities made a significant difference, with the creator declaring 'AI lost today,' emphasizing the value of human creativity in the game.

### Conclusion

The experiment proves that professional artists possess superior camouflage skills in *Meccha Chameleon*, leveraging their creative abilities to hide effectively and dominate the game, ultimately overshadowing the challenge for hunters.

10 million. That's how many people have
bought Meta Chameleon. For reference,
that is more than Mario Kart World did
in the first few months it came out.
Metric Chameleon only came out a few
weeks ago. In fact, it's more than
Street Fighter 6 has done in 3 years.
And it's more people than subscribers I
have. And that's a free button to press
that I want you to press now. But it got
me thinking. It's a lot of fun to play
with your friends and pick a cringe spot
if you want to win or maybe just do a
funny spot that usually doesn't end up
working out. But what if you had actual
professionals, aka artists? How would
they do? To find out, I employed the
help of my good friend Squeaks, to be
static hunters, and we would chase down
professional artists, to see just how
good they were at hiding. I made the
high time super long, so they' have all
the time in the world. And lucky for us,
at the time we did this recording, they
dropped a new map, which was in Art
Gallery, which made things a nightmare.
You'll see at the end.
>> So, how much money do we win if we hunt
them all? For every person you shoot
today, Squeaks, you get $1.
>> Okay. Okay, everyone, let's line up and
I'll split the money. I'll split the
money with you. 50.
>> Hey. Yeah,
>> you can make so much [ __ ] money.
>> Everyone just gets 50 cents every round.
>> That'd be easy.
>> I think it's below minimum wage, bro.
Time's up everybody. Daddy.
>> So, you have a forced whistle every 45
seconds to help us find you.
>> There's a split up, bloody.
>> Okay. Okay. I I'll take this wing.
>> I'll go into the meat room.
>> Who made themselves sucking off the
horse?
>> I see. STOP.
