Ink Game endings
Ink Game has three endings, and which one you see is decided by what happens in the run — votes, survivor counts and whether you pick up the fight. This page covers all three: Rebel, Final Fight and Sky Squid Games.
The three endings
| Ending | Route | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Rebel | The vote gets rigged — you refuse the result | Fight through the guards, clear every one of them, ride the elevator out |
| Final Fight | Standard route to the finale | The Squid Game 1v1: fists only, no Powers, lowest health at 5 minutes loses |
| Sky Squid Games | 4–8 players left after Mingle | Press the red button; survive the accelerating elimination timer |
Rebel ending — step by step
- The vote to stop the games comes back rigged. The rebellion dialogue triggers.
- Walk up and start the fight — you are going to need a weapon.
- Push room to room: every guard in the room must be dead before a door opens.
- Keep moving toward the elevator; reinforcements keep coming, so clear and advance rather than camp.
- Reach and hold the elevator to escape with your friends.
Final Fight — the Squid Game finale
The classic route ends in the Squid Game itself:
- 1v1, fists only. No Powers are allowed in the finale.
- Stay inside the squid shape. Anyone standing outside it takes damage.
- Five-minute clock. When time runs out, whoever has the least health dies.
- A rock spawns somewhere on the field and can be picked up — the one tiebreaker in a fistfight.
- There are no attack/defense role sides like the show — everyone has the same win condition.
Sky Squid Games — the timer route
Triggers when 4 to 8 players remain after Mingle (and Mingle didn't wipe the lobby):
- Someone must press the RED BUTTON to start the timer (1-second lockout after the animation).
- Each shape completed grants 2 minutes 30 seconds to eliminate one player.
- The timer speeds up as the round progresses.
- If you are the last one standing after pressing the button, the timer increases in speed and you win — escorted out of the facility.
Which ending should you push?
| If you… | Aim for |
|---|---|
| Are playing with a premade group | Rebel — everyone escapes together |
| Want the straightforward duel | Final Fight — pure fists, no RNG |
| Have a crowded lobby after Mingle | Sky Squid Games — the timer route opens automatically |
How the run reaches the endings
Late run order: Mingle → Last Dinner (3+ survivors) → finale. Last Dinner only runs when three or more players remain so the Squid Game can be a true 1v1; if Mingle leaves exactly two, mercy is shown to the odd player out and Last Dinner still fires. From there the finale or one of the alternate routes takes over — see all 13 games for every rule in between.
FAQ
Which ending is canon? None — all three are supported exits, and the devs treat them as parallel routes.
Can one player force the Rebel ending? The rigged vote starts the route for the lobby; clearing guards is a group effort, and the doors open for whoever survives the push.
Does Sky Squid Games always happen after Mingle? Only when 4–8 players survive Mingle. Fewer or more, and the run goes the normal route.
Do Powers work in the Final Fight? No — fists and the rock, nothing else.
