Supersymmetry is an appealing extension beyond the Standard Model of particle physics which could provide e.g. a candidate for Dark Matter. Both the ATLAS and the CMS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, CERN, carry out a comprehensive search program, addressing many different signatures that supersymmetric particles could result in. Some of the recent highlights of these searches will be presented along with the assumptions made in the interpretation of these results. Although these searches did not result in a discovery yet, there are many ways in which Supersymmetry could hide, which guide us to new directions in future searches. Some of these future directions will be discussed.
