Ink Game Six Legged Pentathlon Update Guide: New Mode, Rewards, and More!

The Six Legged Pentathlon update is one of the biggest content drops Ink Game has received in a long time. This update introduces a brand-new team-based game mode, multiple skill-focused mini-games, major reward changes, and quality-of-life improvements across the board. If you want to understand how the Pentathlon works and what else was added, this guide covers everything in a clear and simple way.

Six Legged Pentathlon Overview

The Six Legged Pentathlon is a new game mode that takes place after Dalgona. Instead of a single challenge, this mode combines five mini-games into one experience, with each team member playing a different game.

Key features of the Pentathlon:

• Teams are created in the waiting room
• Each player completes one mini-game
• Incomplete teams are filled with AI players
• Each mini-game has a time limit
• Failing a mini-game only eliminates that player, not the entire team
• Team time is affected by failures, so speed matters
• Game scaling adjusts automatically to player count
• Special team animations play based on success or failure

This structure keeps the mode competitive without punishing full teams for one mistake.

Pentathlon Mini-Games Explained

Ddakji

This mini-game focuses on timing and positioning.

• Use a power bar and aim carefully
• Throw the Ddakji tile to flip the guard’s tile
• Successfully flipping it allows you to move on

Flying Stones (Biseokchigi)

A precision-based skill check with a unique UI.

• Stop a moving arrow at the correct time
• Similar to tug-of-war style checks but in a straight line
• Accurate timing is the key to success

A classic reaction-based mini-game.

• Click or tap to throw the rock into the air
