[🆕] Ink Game

Overview

[💪] Ink Game is a Party & Casual experience on Roblox inspired by Squid Game, where players survive rounds of deadly mini-games to be the last one standing — or rebel and escape together. Developed by the group "games i think," featuring developers from the HBG dev team including Aisarredux, the game offers three distinct endings: Rebel, Final Fight, and Sky Squid Games. It supports all platforms including PC, console, and mobile.

Launched roughly 449 days ago, Ink Game has grown into one of the top experiences on Roblox, amassing nearly 3 billion visits and over 20 million favorites. The game has attracted a loyal fanbase with over 1.1 million likes and a like ratio of approximately 79.5%.

Player Count & Trends

Ink Game currently has 14,286 concurrent players, placing it firmly among the most-played experiences on the platform. Over the past 24 hours, the game's CCU has risen by 1,137 players, representing a 9.3% increase — a healthy upward trend that signals sustained player interest.

The game's peak ratio sits at 0.25, meaning its current player count is about a quarter of its recent peak. This suggests Ink Game has consistent baseline engagement rather than relying on a single viral spike to drive traffic. For a game in the Party & Casual genre, maintaining five-figure concurrent players nearly 15 months after launch is a strong indicator of lasting appeal.

Revenue & Monetization

Ink Game generates an estimated $68,447 in monthly revenue, though this figure carries a moderate confidence level of 58%. The game monetizes through in-game purchases including powers, emotes, and cosmetic items. Players can earn and spend WON currency, the game's primary economy token.

Recent updates have expanded monetization opportunities considerably. The Powers Update introduced new Mythic and Legendary powers — including Time Skip, Magician, and Last Stand — while a reworked Shop UI added favorites, sorting, and a random emote roll feature. The Playable Guards Update also created an entirely new progression path with weapon attachments and guard-tier unlocks, giving players more reasons to invest in the experience.

Growth Story

With 2,955,130,606 total visits and 20,408,373 favorites, Ink Game has crossed multiple major milestones in under 15 months. The game's trajectory mirrors the broader cultural momentum of Squid Game, but its longevity suggests it has built a gameplay loop that stands on its own merits beyond the IP inspiration.

The September 2025 Playable Guards Update was a pivotal moment for the game, introducing an entirely new way to play. Players could take on the role of guards across existing game modes like Red Light Green Light and Dalgona, with a three-tier progression system — Circle Guards (entry-level), Triangle Guards (mid-tier), and Square Guards (elite, unlocked at Level 30). Each tier features distinct weapons, from the Glock 17 and UZI up to the FN Fal and P90, with customizable attachments including suppressors, grips, and optics. Guard-specific mini-games like Ping-Pong, a Claw Machine, and an Arcade Game were added for downtime between rounds.

A follow-up Powers Update expanded the game's depth further, and a confirmed Pentathlon Update is currently in development. The studio behind the game, "games i think," has three total experiences, but Ink Game is by far the breakout hit — the other two titles show zero concurrent players.

How [💪] Ink Game Compares

Ink Game ranks in the 100th percentile within the Party & Casual genre, meaning it outperforms every other game in its category by player count. It holds a Tier 1 classification, placing it among the elite experiences on the entire Roblox platform.

For context, reaching the 100th genre percentile with a single breakout title from a small development group is exceptionally rare. Most Tier 1 games come from established studios with large portfolios. The fact that "games i think" achieved this with essentially one game underscores how effectively Ink Game has captured and retained its audience in a highly competitive genre.
