Number of Players: 4–8 players
Average Game Time: 20–30 minutes

About the Game: A spooky and creative deduction game where players race to interpret ghostly messages. In Phantom Ink, one player takes on the role of a spirit trying to communicate a secret word, while the others attempt to decipher it from vague, fragmented clues. It’s a fast, imaginative game full of misinterpretation, guesswork, and “how did you get that from that?!” moments.

How It’s Played: Each round, one player becomes the ghost and is given a secret word. The ghost can only respond to the group using abstract, limited clue cards, no direct communication allowed. The other players must work together to interpret the clues and guess the word before time runs out. If they succeed, they score points; if not, the ghost remains misunderstood. Roles rotate each round, with different players becoming the ghost.
