When a game leaks from your screen into the real world, you know it’s gone fully viral. So if you spot a perfectly painted chameleon chilling on a bag of chips during your next snack run, don't do a double-take. Know that that’s just life in the post-Meccha Chameleon world.

Players aren't just hiding in-game, they’re actually 3D-printing their own physical chameleons and painting them to camouflage against everything from vending machines to urban landscapes and more. What says “novel” more than that?

This month, we’re examining Meccha Chameleon using Jesse Schell’s Lens of Novelty. Slide into the full breakdown before your next match with the full video on our channel!
