* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Longtime Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} game show fans might see Camouflage's main element (hidden pictures) for the first time and be reminded of ''Series/FindersKeepers'', which had a similar concept of finding hidden objects to win, either in pictures or in the famous house that the kids got to rampage through.

A ''Camouflage'' completely unrelated to these formats aired on {{GSN}} in 2007, where the object was to find words within words.

The show was a modest success for ABC, and was revamped by Creator/ChuckBarris in 1980 for a few months in {{syndication}}. The game was now played for cash, and three games were played in each show; tracing the front-game picture won that money and led to the bonus game.

* HomeGame: One was made by Milton Bradley but, instead of picture drawings, the object was hidden under five layers of vector shapes on acetate sheets. It also contained separate sheets for players to put over their TV screens and play along with the show.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Only two episodes exist of the ABC run. Creator/{{GSN}} aired several episodes of the 1980 version from both formats.

Two contestants, usually female, faced their respective game boards which, when opened, revealed a drawing. The objective was to find a hidden object within the drawing and successfully trace its outline. In order to do so, the players had to answer true-or-false questions and score points based on a timer clicking down from 10. A correct answer removed part of the picture (the camouflage) and the player had 10 seconds to find the object and trace its outline with a long stick. For each pass or mistraced picture, the value of the board (which began at 200 points) was reduced by 10 points. Once a player reached 30 points, she was shown a picture of the object.. The winner received a prize package based on her total score, and the higher scorer of the day played the bonus round.

To be able to so, they had to answer true-or-false questions and score points based on a timer clicking down from 10.
