* The famous cardboard boxes from the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series have this as a secondary utility in addition to simply hiding in plain sight. Certain games allow Snake or Raiden to hide in their cardboard box in certain locations, such as inside a truck or on a conveyor belt, and sitting still for a few seconds will cause enemy guards to move the box with its occupant to another location in the game world.



* ''VideoGame/OperationNaPali'' (a campaign addon for ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament''): At one point, Agent 046 must infiltrate a heavily guarded facility on complete lockdown. He does so by hiding in a crate near a delivery ship's crane, which sends him to the other side of the wall.
