Ink Enigma
Ink Enigma – out now on Xbox and Play Anywhere

A hidden object game that turns every puzzle into your own personal sketchbook, complete with the satisfying shhkk! of a marker stroke, has just been illustrated on Xbox, PC and Play Anywhere. And INK ENIGMA: Hidden Object Challenges looks extremely interesting.

This relaxing new puzzler is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC for just ÂŁ4.99, and comes with full Xbox Play Anywhere support.

Draw to Discover

Prepare to scan the scene, circle each secret, and watch as the beautiful hand-drawn artwork comes alive with your own signature ink.

What makes INK ENIGMA so unique and satisfying is its core mechanic. When you spot an item, you press the trigger, and a lively marker-stroke instantly wraps around it, as if you sketched it yourself. This is followed by the crisp sound of a checklist tick and an old-school paper-flip, making every discovery a tactile and rewarding moment.

The game features more than 40 lovingly illustrated scenes to explore, from street fairs and moonlit forests to busy kitchens. Each page hides a variety of objects in clever and playful ways, and records your personal best completion time, inviting you to out-ink your own record whenever inspiration strikes.

Your Sketchbook, Your Style

You can make every finished page unique by tweaking your virtual marker. You can change its opacity, thickness, and hue, allowing you to go from a subtle pencil-grey to a blazing neon. No two finished pages ever have to look the same.

This is a game designed for cozy play sessions. With its warm parchment tones, gentle jazz-hop loops, and zero jump-scares, it’s the perfect experience for a five-minute brain break or a long, relaxing evening.

A New Page in the Hidden Object Genre

We are huge fans of a good hidden object game, having recently enjoyed the chaotic charm of Hidden Cats in Tokyo. INK ENIGMA: Hidden Object Challenges offers a new and wonderfully stylish take on the genre, perfect for fans who are looking for a fresh and tactile new puzzle experience.

Your Sketchbook, Anywhere

INK ENIGMA is an Xbox Play Anywhere title. This fantastic feature means your cozy puzzle sessions can continue, no matter which device you’re on.

A single digital purchase on the Xbox Store for ÂŁ4.99 unlocks the game for you on both your Xbox console and your Windows PC. All of your completed pages and best times are synced via the cloud, so you can seamlessly switch between platforms. You can find a few objects on your PC, then jump over to your Xbox to relax with another page without ever losing your place.

Your Artistic Inventory

Here’s what you can expect from this new sketchbook adventure:

  • Unique “Draw to Discover” Mechanic: A satisfying and tactile hidden object experience.
  • Over 40 Lovingly Illustrated Scenes: Explore everything from street fairs to moonlit forests.
  • Personal Best Timing: Challenge yourself to beat your own fastest completion time on every page.
  • Customizable Marker Style: Tweak the opacity, thickness, and hue of your marker.
  • A Cozy and Relaxing Experience: With warm visuals and a gentle jazz-hop soundtrack.
  • Xbox Play Anywhere Enabled.

The pages are waiting and a new, charming challenge has been drawn up. If you’re a fan of relaxing hidden object games, INK ENIGMA: Hidden Object Challenges is ready for you on the Xbox Store right now.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore.
