If you’ve played Squid Game-style modes on Roblox before, you might be familiar with games that let you switch teams before a round starts—especially during modes like Hide and Seek. So, if you’re jumping into Ink Game, you’re probably wondering: Can you pick to be a Hider or a Seeker? Here’s everything you need to know. Also check out our Ink Game Codes and Power Guide for those that are new to the game.
Can You Choose Your Role in Ink Game Hide and Seek?
As of now, no—you cannot choose your team in Ink Game’s Hide and Seek mode. Whether you end up as a Hider or a Seeker is entirely based on random selection. Unlike other Roblox titles inspired by Squid Game that allow you to switch teams before the game begins, Ink Game does not offer any manual team selection feature.
There’s a common theory among players that the position where you stand before the game starts might influence which team you land on, but after several tests and matches, this seems to be just a myth. Your role is purely decided by luck and RNG.
How to Blend in as a Seeker As a Hider
While you can’t choose your team, there’s a clever trick that experienced players are using to disguise themselves as Seekers. Here’s how it works:
- Hiders wear blue vests, while Seekers wear red.
- If you own the VIP gamepass, you gain the ability to change the color of your outfit.
- By switching your vest color to red before the match begins, you can appear to be a Seeker.
Once the game starts and you’re assigned as a Hider, stay in the open lobby area and don’t rush to hide right away. When the Seekers spawn, they might assume you’re one of them, especially if you’re standing nearby and wearing red. This gives you a few extra seconds of safety—and sometimes, that’s all you need to secure a win.
Ink Game’s Hide and Seek mode might leave team selection up to chance, but you can still find clever ways to turn the odds in your favor. If you’re feeling unlucky about your role, use the VIP disguise trick to fake out the opposition and improve your chances of survival.
