A hidden-movement hunt on the real Singapore MRT

👻 Hidden Pontianak 👮 5 TransCom Officers Play either side vs. AI

A haunting on the network.

Hantu Line is a turn-based hidden-movement deduction game set on the real Singapore MRT. A single Pontianak — the most feared hantu in Malay folklore — rides the Singapore MRT invisibly. A squad of five TransCom Officers, codenamed Kopi, Teh, Milo, Bandung and Horlicks, has 24 turns to corner her. Officers see only the kind of ticket she spends, never where she went. Read the map, narrow the shading, and close in before she slips away into the night.

How it plays

👻

Hunt her, or be her

Each game you choose your side: play the hidden Pontianak, or take any subset of the five officers — the rest of the pieces play themselves. The two sides are exclusive, so every match is either a chase or an escape.

🧠

Deduction, not luck

Officers never see the Pontianak's line or direction — only the kind of ticket she spent. The map shades every station she could be hiding on, and the net tightens with every move. Pure hidden-movement deduction.

📡

Forced reveals

She is dragged into the light on turns 3, 13 and 24 — an SGSecure report, a 999 call, a station master's radio, or a viral platform photo. A brief flash on the map, a permanent pin in the log, and the hunt resets around her last known station.

📷

CCTV vs. Blackout

Each officer carries a CCTV card to pin the Pontianak's exact station into the deduction log. The Pontianak fights back with Blackout cards to stay hidden — and Double Moves to vanish two stops at once when the squad gets close.

🎫

Three levels of AI

Every AI piece — the Pontianak and each officer individually — runs at Rookie, Regular or Inspector intelligence. Learn the ropes against a Rookie squad, then test your escape against an Inspector that reads your bluffs.

🚆

The real Singapore MRT

Played on the actual MRT network in official LTA line colours — green EWL, red NSL, purple NEL, orange CCL, blue DTL, brown TEL — plus express bus routes and the Pontianak's secret Hantu Routes: night boats, street walks and a construction tunnel.

Every move is a ticket

Ticket economy: every travel ticket an officer spends is handed straight to the Pontianak. Run the squad dry and she rides free.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hantu Line?

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 turns. It is a deduction game in the hidden-movement tradition, built with official LTA line colours.

How do you play Hantu Line?

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 turns.

Is Hantu Line single-player?

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.
