In Pragmata, one of the most charming optional activities is playing hide and seek with Diana in the Shelter. This wholesome mini-game strengthens the bond between Hugh and Diana while unlocking the Peekaboo bronze trophy/achievement (Win at hide-and-seek). It’s a relaxing break from the intense combat and exploration on the lunar Cradle.
This guide covers exactly how to unlock the mini-game, how to play it, winning strategies, and tips to make the most of your time with Diana.
How to Unlock Hide and Seek with Diana
Unlocking hide-and-seek is straightforward but requires building a relationship with Diana:
- Return to the Shelter frequently between sectors.
- Talk to Diana repeatedly. She often has new dialogue (indicated by a question mark or exclamation mark icon above her head) after story progress or collecting items.
- Gift Read Earth Memories (REMs) to Diana. Every batch you return gives her new toys, dioramas, and scenes to interact with, which deepens your conversations and unlocks more interactions.
- Continue this process — the hide-and-seek option typically becomes available near the end of Sector 3 (or slightly earlier if you’ve been very consistent with talks and REMs).
Important Note: You cannot permanently miss this mini-game. Even if you progress further, keep talking to Diana and gifting REMs to trigger it eventually. There is no strict missable point.
Once unlocked, the option appears in your dialogue with her.
How to Play Hide and Seek with Diana
After unlocking the mini-game:
- Speak to Diana in the Shelter.
- Select the dialogue option to play (you may need to hold the interact button to start, depending on your platform).
- Diana will always be the one hiding (Hugh’s bulky suit makes it fair). She disappears somewhere in the Shelter.
- You have 60 seconds (one minute) to find her.
- Walk around the Shelter and approach her hiding spot to “find” her. She reacts with cute voice lines and animations when discovered — or gets a bit sad if you give up or run out of time.
You can replay hide-and-seek anytime afterward by talking to Diana again. It’s a repeatable activity with no cooldown.
Best Tips to Win Hide and Seek Quickly (Peekaboo Trophy)
The Shelter isn’t huge, but Diana can hide in many spots, especially once you’ve added REM dioramas (like behind the slide, swing, crates, or consoles). Use these strategies to find her fast:
- Search along the outer walls first — Diana often hides near the edges rather than in the open center.
- Check behind crates, consoles, terminals, and furniture.
- Look near REM installations (toys, playsets, or scenes you’ve gifted her) — she loves hiding in or around them.
- Move slowly and listen for any audio cues (Diana sometimes makes small sounds or the Mini-Cabin might hint indirectly).
- Sweep methodically: Start from one side of the Shelter and circle around.
Common early hiding spots include corners, behind larger objects, or integrated into the dioramas you’ve unlocked.
If you fail the first time, don’t worry — you can immediately try again with no penalty.
Why Play Hide and Seek with Diana?
- Unlocks the Peekaboo trophy/achievement.
- Builds heartwarming story moments and deepens Hugh and Diana’s father-daughter-like relationship.
- Reveals more of Diana’s personality through her reactions and dialogue.
- It’s a fun, low-stress break that rewards consistent Shelter visits.
Continuing to interact with Diana also unlocks other bonuses, like her crayon drawings displayed on terminals and additional dialogue about your adventures.
Extra Shelter Tips for Better Interactions
- Always return REMs promptly to Diana for coins, new rooms/scenes, and more conversation topics.
- Check back after major story beats (boss defeats, sector completions) for fresh dialogue.
- Combine hide-and-seek sessions with Cabin’s Stamp Club, training simulations, and outfit changes for a complete Shelter hub experience.
If you’re stuck on a specific hiding spot, need REM locations to speed up unlocking, or want tips for other Diana interactions (like her drawings or additional trophies), provide more details for targeted help!
Playing hide-and-seek with Diana is one of Pragmata’s sweetest moments — a perfect blend of charm and light gameplay that makes the lunar journey feel personal. Enjoy your time in the Shelter and keep seeking those heartwarming moments!
