00 The Haunting

The last train never really empties.

After midnight, something rides the Singapore MRT that shouldn't. A Pontianak — the most feared hantu in Malay folklore — moves station to station, unseen. TransCom knows she's on the network. They just don't know where.

01 Replayable by design

Every hunt tells a new story.

No two chases play out the same way. Her hidden route, your reads, the tickets in your hand and the moment she slips away — all of it shifts every game.

Different moves. Different outcomes. Endless chills. This isn't a puzzle with one answer. It's a haunting that reinvents itself each time you press start.

02 Two sides, one hunt

Play as Officer or Pontianak.

Two sides. Two strategies. One thrilling hunt. Every match is either a chase or an escape — and you decide which.

Take the badge and coordinate the squad, or take the gown and vanish into the dark. Whichever side you leave to the machine runs itself at one of three difficulty levels.

03 The board

A supernatural chase across the MRT.

The whole game plays out on the real Singapore MRT network, drawn in official LTA line colours — green EWL, red NSL, purple NEL, orange CCL, blue DTL and brown TEL — plus express buses and her secret Hantu Routes: night boats, street walks and a construction tunnel.

Every station is a step closer… or a step away.

04 The officer's playbook

Coordinate the squad.

Work together. Block routes. Corner the Pontianak. The five officers only win as a unit — spread too thin and she walks straight through the gap.

Officers never see her line or direction, only the kind of ticket she spent. The map shades every station she could be hiding on; every move you make narrows it further.

05 Surveillance

Use CCTV to locate her.

Reveal her location. Narrow her route. Turn surveillance into your advantage — a single camera hit pins her exact station into the deduction log.

Each officer starts with one CCTV card. Spend it at the right moment and the hunt swings your way.

06 The city fights back

Reports narrow her down.

She can't hide forever. On set rounds the city drags her into the light — an SGSecure tip, a 999 call, a station master's radio, a viral platform photo. A brief flash on the map, a permanent pin in the log.

The more you know, the closer you get.

07 The Pontianak's playbook

Fight back with Blackout cards.

Playing her side? The squad's cameras are your biggest threat — so cut them. Disrupt CCTV. Erase your trail. Throw them off your path.

Play a Blackout and the feed dies: Signal lost. Nothing recorded. The officers are back to guessing while you drift another stop into the dark.

08 The economy

Every move is a ticket.

Movement is currency. Plan your moves. Save your cards for the perfect moment. And remember the twist: every travel ticket an officer spends is handed straight to the Pontianak.

Run the squad dry and she rides free.

Frequently asked questions

Hantu Line is a turn-based hidden-movement strategy game played on the real Singapore MRT network. One hidden Pontianak rides the map invisibly while a squad of five TransCom Officers hunts her across 24 moves. It is a deduction game in the hidden-movement tradition, built with official LTA line colours.

Yes. Hantu Line is a Scotland Yard–style hidden-movement game set in Singapore: one piece moves secretly across a transit map while the hunters deduce its position from the tickets it spends. Instead of Mr. X in London, a Pontianak from Malay folklore rides the real Singapore MRT network, hunted by five TransCom Officers — with CCTV cards, Blackout cards, forced reveals, and a ticket economy where the officers' spent tickets fuel her escape.

Each game you choose a side. As the officers you spend travel tickets to move across the MRT and read the type of ticket the Pontianak leaves behind to deduce her hidden station, narrowing the shaded map until you land on her. As the Pontianak you ride invisibly and use Black Tickets and Double Moves to slip away. Officers win by cornering her; the Pontianak wins by surviving all 24 moves.

Yes. Hantu Line is a single-player game played against the AI. You take one side — the hidden Pontianak or any subset of the five officers — and every other piece runs itself at one of three difficulty levels: Rookie, Regular or Inspector.

No. Hantu Line plays fully offline, collects no data, requires no account and asks for no permissions. There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no third-party SDKs — the whole game runs on your device.
