Supersymmetry is a speculative theory of new physics predicting several new particles which may be produced in collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. We shall introduce supersymmetry and provide motivations for it in terms of naturalness, then review searches for supersymmetric particles at the collider. Finally, we explain how, if it were manifest in a non-standard form, it would remain natural but would have hidden from the current searches because they were all requiring large amounts of missing energy.
