About Hide and Shriek
Play as an invisible prankster in 10-minute one-versus-one matches where you hunt your equally invisible opponent using cunning traps, over 30 spells, and well-timed scares to rack up the most points. What sets it apart is the unique invisible-versus-invisible gameplay that forces you to detect opponents through environmental clues while customizing your scare tactics with wild masks and effects.
Hide and Shriek™ is a one vs. one multiplayer romp played out in ten minute matches. Your objective is simple: be a mischievous little rascal and scare your opponent half to death before time runs out! If there is no clear winner when the timer stops, the player with the most points wins the game. Points can be acquired by scaring your opponent, luring them into traps, or performing an ancient ritual.
There is just one catch: you are both invisible!
You will need to use cunning traps and potent spells to reveal your opponent. Once you spot them, sneak up on them and give them a good scare! Just remember they are looking for you too, and if you`re not careful you might be the one jumping in your seat!
- Play with friends or strangers in ten-minute one vs. one multiplayer matches!
- You are both invisible! You will need all your cunning to spot your opponent: look for doors opening, objects flying in midair, or traps being sprung!
- Over thirty different spells to discover, each with their own impish effect: blind your opponent, booby-trap doors, unleash a demon upon them, and much more!
- Shriek at your opponent to scare them! Use scary masks of famous characters like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, or use skulls and zombie heads that can be modified with accessories like gooey eyeballs, bloody hatchets, and much more!
- Dominate the leaderboards or get scared trying!

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Hide and Shriek is a free-to-play 1v1 hide and seek game that players praise for its addictive, strategic gameplay with friends and the variety that comes from randomized elements making each match feel different. Common criticisms include lack of polish and poor marketing, with some players finding the core concept uninspiring despite its potential. Players generally feel it's worth trying given the free price, though opinions are mixed on whether it's worth investing significant time in.
Fun but you will need a friend to play with because it's dead1 found this helpful

I've done all the achievements that are possible without buying the dlc, which is stupid, and when I did the last, and hardest one, it didn't even give me the mask! The devs obviously aren't gonna see this because the games dead, but it's still annoying.
so far loving it so far — looks great
I know its free to play but...mehhhh...
