Ink Game is a Roblox survival game inspired by Squid Game. You'll compete in deadly challenges against other players, with the goal of being the last one standing—or working with your friends to rebel and escape. The game works on PC, console, and mobile.

Your First Match

When you join a game, you'll spawn into a lobby with other players. Wait for the match to start. Once it begins, you'll enter a challenge arena. Pay attention to what's happening around you—some challenges are about pure survival, while others have specific rules you need to follow.

Core Controls

On PC, the main controls are:

  • Left Ctrl or Left Alt: Activate Shift Lock (lets you look around freely while moving)
  • Q: Use your Dash attack (only if you've unlocked it)

On console or mobile, use your platform's standard movement controls. The Dash ability is a powerful tool once unlocked, so practice using it.

Survival Mechanics

Each challenge has hazards—traps, obstacles, or elimination mechanics. Your job is to avoid them or complete the challenge faster than other players. If you die, that round is over. Survive enough rounds and you'll reach the endgame.

💡 Tip — Always watch what other players do in the first few seconds of a challenge. If they're running in a direction, there's usually a reason.

The Three Endings

Ink Game has three possible endings based on how you and other players progress:

  • Final Fight: Compete in a one-on-one battle against the last remaining player.
  • Rebel: Work together with other surviving players to escape and rebel against the game.
  • Sky Squid Games: An alternate final challenge with unique rules.

Which ending you get depends on player choices and who survives to the final rounds.

Early Beginner Tips

  • Don't panic in crowds. When many players are in one area, stay calm and avoid running into others.
  • Learn the map. In your first few matches, focus on figuring out where safe spots and hazards are.
  • Unlock Dash early. Once you can use Q to dash, it becomes a key survival tool. Use it to dodge obstacles or get out of tight spots.
  • Play fairly. The game has strict anti-cheat rules. Don't try to exploit or hack—you'll be permanently banned with no warning.
  • Communicate. If you want to reach the Rebel ending, you'll need to work with other players. Use chat or emotes to team up.
💡 Tip — The key to surviving early rounds is awareness. Keep an eye on your surroundings and the positions of nearby players.

What to Expect

Expect fast-paced, tense rounds where making a single mistake can eliminate you. Some challenges favor speed, others require strategy. You're competing with up to dozens of other real players, so every match feels different. The game is designed to be challenging from round one.
