Waldo Stripes Soft

Waldo Stripes Soft, at waldo-stripes-soft.vercel.app, is a 3D find-the-man-in-the-crowd game you play in the browser, made by gokaygokay. It's a seaside festival town full of animated people, and Waldo is somewhere in it.

You look down on the town at a fixed scale and pan around to find one man: striped shirt, bobble hat, round glasses, blue trousers and a walking stick. Click or tap the person you think is Waldo. A how-to-play card opens first, and the clock starts when you press Start. Wrong guesses are counted, the clock stops when you find him, and there are no hints. He is never on the opening screen. Refreshing the page gives you a fresh random seed, a varied arrangement and a new hiding place.

The game is created entirely from code. The project's README describes twelve connected districts, about 10,700 animated people, 161 authored little stories and thousands of procedural props in a six-colour soft palette, with no image assets and no downloaded models. Every mesh, pattern and animation is generated from source.

The source is at Waldo Stripes Soft under the MIT license. It's written in TypeScript with Three.js and Vite, and the README covers running it on your own machine with Node.js 22 or later.

Pricing: Waldo Stripes Soft is free to play at https://waldo-stripes-soft.vercel.app, and the source is MIT licensed on GitHub. Checked November 15, 2026.
