Question

What colours will work for inside during the day?

Community Answer

Stay with gray and maybe the colour of your walls. Still stick to the shadows.

Question

Would a group of people sneaking around together be more efficient, or would splitting up work better?

Community Answer

You can still work in a group, but you would have to split up into different rooms. You should also have access to an empty room if you need to meet up.

Question

How do I listen in on someone when I'm sneaking around?

Community Answer

It depends. If they're in a room with the door closed, try to get a cup and listen. (Don't just put your ear against the door -- you'll get caught!) If the door is open, then just get as close to the opening as you can, stand still, and listen. Prepare to escape and come up with a believable excuse just in case.

Question

How do you keep up with someone if they are moving quickly?

Community Answer

When following someone, match their footsteps. Make sure you are perfect in doing this. Practice by matching people's step in hallways and streets, just make sure you don't make it obvious! Practice walking swiftly and silently, until you are very proficient, practice walking silently in a crouch for long distances, and practice a silent and swift crouch walk for long distances. Study peoples gait and practice swift crouch walks that match up perfectly. With enough practice, you will become proficient at stealthily tailing someone.

Question

What do I need to do when I'm surrounded by snow?

Community Answer

Wear white or lighter clothes and stay nearer the ground. If anybody looks, curl up and camouflage into the snow.

Question

Is black a good choice of color?

Community Answer

It depends on the time of day. If it is noon, of course it wouldn't be the smartest choice. If it was midnight, however, it would be clever to wear black.

Question

How do I catch a proficient sneak when they always seem to be ten steps ahead?

Zayden Fisher

Community Answer

Study where they hide/hang out and stay alert when near those places. If they are following you, head to a closed spot with one entrance/exit and catch them in the act.

Question

How can we sneak into a gym with 200 people in it?

The Formal Top-hat

Community Answer

Is there another way in other than the main entrance? If not then it will be very tricky. You could use an excuse with the gym teacher and say that you need to retrieve something from your locker, or you could try to wait for most people to be distracted or assembled. For the people that notice, try to silently signal them to be quiet.

Question

What happens when I don't know where someone is when sneaking around?

Community Answer

Listen for footsteps and other tiny sounds like rustling, creaking and shuffling. You could also try to make a subtle distraction if you think they may be near, or if they are downstairs or in another room, make a loud thud and see if their noises stop.

Question

If I'm outside in the middle of the day, what color should I wear to sneak around?

Community Answer

It would depend entirely on your surroundings; a green outfit that would help hide in the forest would only make you stand out in a snowy area--look at the various types of camouflage used in the military designed for different situations/regions. However, if you're in an area with people, it's best just to dress like everyone else so you blend in.

Question

Is wearing black socks okay?

Community Answer

Yes. Many people wear black socks, so nobody is going suspect anything if you happen to have a pair of black socks. They will blend into the dark easily.
