The objective in Ink Game is to survive till the end by completing challenges based on children's games. As you progress and others are eliminated, the cash pool increases. After some challenges, you'll get the option to continue or stop the games, the latter of which leads to the prize money being split between survivors.

By winning the challenges and becoming one of the last few surviving players, you get Experience and Won, the primary game currency. Won can be used to purchase Emotes and Upgrades from the Store. Meanwhile, Experience is crucial for leveling up.

As a beginner, prioritize investing in the Won Boost upgrade to earn more money for purchasing other upgrades.

Roblox Ink Game features two endings. The first, Squid Game, is the most common ending, which you can obtain by being the last person standing after the series of challenges. A cutscene shows your character being ferried by a guard in a motorboat and returning home holding suitcases stuffed with cash.

The second ending, Rebel, is triggered when players vote to stop the game before the last few challenges. A cutscene shows the voting being manipulated by the Frontman, prompting the survivors to take up arms and rebel. They are tasked with shooting all the guards in the building to eventually reach the Frontman and put a bullet in his head.

If players succeed in killing the leader, the prize money is divided equally.
