This is the complete, all scenes guide for finding every one of the 50 hidden raccoons in the beautiful puzzle game Hidden Raccoons in Asia. We’ll walk you through each level, from the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene Himalayan peaks, pointing out every cleverly concealed creature so you can achieve that 100% completion status and unlock the final, secret stage.
There are eight raccoons hidden in each of the five main levels, plus an additional ten in the secret unlockable level. Finding them all grants you the 'Raccoon Sensei' achievement and access to the final area. Let's get started.
Level 1: Tokyo Night Market
The vibrant, rain-slicked streets of the Tokyo market are filled with distractions. The eight raccoons here are tucked away behind neon signs and food stalls. The key is to look for subtle movements and out-of-place textures.
- Inside the Paper Lantern: At the very start, look up at the large red paper lantern hanging above the ramen stall. Click on it to rotate it; a raccoon is peeking out from a tear on the back side.
- On the Vending Machine: To the left of the ramen stall, there's a brightly lit vending machine. The raccoon isn't inside, but clinging to the power cable behind the machine. You'll only see its tail.
- Behind the Daruma Dolls: Find the stall selling stacks of red daruma dolls. One of the dolls in the back row, partially obscured, is actually a cleverly disguised raccoon curled into a ball.
- Driving the Toy Taxi: On the ground near the gachapon machines, there's a tiny toy taxi. Zoom in, and you'll see a raccoon at the wheel.
- Peeking from the Pachinko Machine: Look inside the glass of the loudest pachinko machine. Among the bouncing silver balls, a raccoon's face will briefly appear in the top-left corner every few seconds.
- In the Ramen Bowl: A customer at the ramen stand has a large bowl of noodles. A raccoon is happily bathing in the broth, using a ramen spoon as a floatie. You must wait for the steam to clear to spot it.
- Hiding in the Maneki-neko: Among a sea of waving lucky cats (Maneki-neko), one has a striped tail instead of a normal one. Click on it to reveal the raccoon.
- Reflected in a Puddle: Find the largest puddle on the street. The reflection of the giant neon Glico sign is clear, but if you watch the puddle long enough, a raccoon's reflection will run across it. Click the reflection to collect it.

Level 2: Himalayan Monastery
The serene and snowy monastery level requires patience. The eight raccoons here are masters of camouflage, blending in with stone, wood, and prayer flags. Sound is a crucial clue in this stage.
- Disguised as a Gargoyle: On the main temple roof, there are several decorative gargoyles. One on the far right is a raccoon pretending to be made of stone. Its ear will twitch every so often.
- Inside a Prayer Wheel: Spin the large prayer wheels in the central courtyard. One of them makes a squeaking noise instead of a chime. Spin it three times quickly to make the dizzy raccoon pop out.
- Warming by the Butter Lamp: In the dimly lit shrine room, there's a row of flickering butter lamps. A raccoon is curled up behind the largest lamp, enjoying the warmth. You can only see its silhouette against the wall.
- On the Suspension Bridge: Look at the long rope suspension bridge leading away from the monastery. A raccoon is clinging to the underside of the ropes, halfway across. You'll need to zoom in to see its paws.
- Meditating with the Monks: In the meditation hall, a raccoon is sitting among the silent monks. It's wearing a tiny saffron robe and is perfectly still. It's the only "monk" with a tail.
- Hidden in the Incense Smoke: Light the incense burner in the main hall. As the thick smoke billows out, it will briefly form the shape of a raccoon before dissipating. Click the smoke shape before it vanishes.
- The Library Scroll Raccoon: This is a multi-step puzzle. First, find the three specific prayer bells (low, high, middle tone) and ring them in that order. This causes a beam of light to shine on a specific floor tile. Clicking the tile reveals a hidden compartment containing a scroll. Unfurl the scroll, and a raccoon is drawn on it. Click the drawing.
- Carved into the Mandala: In the side chamber, examine the giant, intricate sand mandala on the table. In the geometric patterns near the center, the sand has been subtly rearranged to form the shape of a raccoon's face.

Level 3: Hong Kong Rooftops
This high-altitude level is all about verticality and perspective. The eight raccoons are hidden among satellite dishes, air conditioning units, and neon-drenched laundry lines.
- Clinging to the Bamboo Scaffolding: On the side of a skyscraper under construction, a raccoon is expertly navigating the bamboo scaffolding. It moves between poles, so you have to time your click.
- Inside a Cage of Birds: One of the residents keeps songbirds in wooden cages. In a cage full of white doves, there is one very out-of-place raccoon, happily munching on birdseed.
- Hiding in a Dim Sum Steamer: On a small rooftop kitchen setup, there's a stack of bamboo steamers. Click to lift the lid on the top one to find a raccoon enjoying a sauna.
- The Kite Raccoon: Look for a dragon-shaped kite tangled in a television antenna. The kite's tail is actually a real raccoon's tail. Wiggle the antenna to free the kite and the raccoon will parachute down.
- Playing Mahjong: Zoom into an apartment window where four figures are playing Mahjong. One of the players, obscured by shadow, is a raccoon wearing a visor. It slams a tile down every few seconds.
- Disguised as an AC Unit: Among a bank of rusty air conditioners, one has a raccoon face painted on its fan grille. Click the fan to make it spin, revealing the real raccoon behind it.
- Riding the Neon Sign: A giant neon sign for a restaurant flickers on and off. A raccoon is riding the animated neon dragon, treating it like a rollercoaster. You can only see it when the sign is fully lit.
- Sleeping in a Mailbox: Find the cluster of red mailboxes on one of the lower roofs. The slot on one is slightly ajar. Click it to open the door, revealing a raccoon sleeping on a bed of letters.
Level 4: Balinese Rice Paddies
This lush, green level is deceptively simple. The raccoons here are camouflaged against the natural environment, hiding in plain sight among water, stone, and foliage.
- Wearing a Scarecrow Hat: In the middle of the largest paddy, a scarecrow stands guard. A raccoon is sitting on its head, disguised as part of the straw hat.
- The Subak Tunnel: This level features the intricate Subak irrigation system. Follow the main water channel to where it enters a small stone tunnel. A raccoon will float by on a leaf boat.
- Behind the Waterfall: Find the small, hidden waterfall that feeds the paddies. A raccoon is sitting on a ledge in a cave directly behind the curtain of water.
- Among the Canang Sari Offerings: Near a small household shrine, you'll see several canang sari (daily offerings) on the ground. One of them is not made of flowers and rice, but is a raccoon curled up and decorated with a single hibiscus flower.
- Reflected in the Water: Stand at the highest point and look down at the terraced pools. In the reflection of one of the pools, you can see a raccoon waving from a palm tree that isn't actually there. Click the reflection.
- Inside a Split Coconut: On the path, there's a discarded coconut that has been split open. A raccoon is using the two halves as a helmet and is peeking out.
- Camouflaged on a Temple Statue: Look closely at the moss-covered Ganesha statue. A raccoon is clinging to its back, perfectly matching the color and texture of the aged stone.
- Riding a Duck: In one of the flooded paddies, a line of ducks swims by. The last "duck" in the line is a raccoon doing a surprisingly good impression.

Level 5: Seoul Digital Media Art Museum
The final main level is a mind-bending trip through interactive art installations. The raccoons here are part of the digital chaos, hiding in pixels, light projections, and glitched-out screens.
- The Pixel Storm: In the room with the swirling storm of digital pixels, the particles will occasionally coalesce for a split second to form the shape of a raccoon. You have to be fast to click it.
- Hidden in the QR Code: On one wall is a giant, functioning QR code. If you look closely, the black and white squares in one corner don't form a perfect grid—they form a tiny raccoon.
- In the Infinity Mirror Room: This room is filled with endless reflections. In one of the distant, smaller reflections, a raccoon is waving at you. You have to find the one reflection that is different from the others.
- Surfing the Data Stream: An exhibit shows a flowing river of binary code (0s and 1s). A raccoon made of ASCII art (
(>'.'<)) will occasionally surf by on a wave of data. - Corrupted Image File: Interact with a touchscreen display showing a gallery of images. Keep swiping until you find a corrupted image file. Click to "debug" it, which reveals a raccoon trapped in the glitchy data.
- Behind the Hologram: In the center of the museum is a giant, rotating hologram of the Earth. A raccoon is sitting inside the projector, so its shadow is cast onto the globe as it spins.
- The Audio Waveform: Put on the headphones at the audio installation. As the ambient music plays, watch the visualizer. At the peak of the crescendo, the waveform will spike to form a perfect raccoon head silhouette.
- Part of the Projection Mapping: In the final room, a projection mapping show covers the entire architecture. During the finale, as flowers bloom across the walls, a raccoon will peek out from a digital lotus flower on the ceiling.

Which raccoon is the hardest to find? Most players agree that the "Incense Smoke" raccoon in the Himalayan Monastery is the trickiest. It requires you to trigger an event and then click on a temporary smoke pattern before it disappears, demanding both knowledge and quick reflexes.
