Please let me re-phrase: Are you planning on smoking in there once the walk-in is done? If so, then that's a very different situation, i.e.,:
a) walk-in = just storage = sealed room = no air exchanged except incidental exchange from going into and out of the room = no smoking.
or:
b) if you smoke in there, then you MUST have ventilation (air exchange) during, and for a while after, smoking. The room is too small to not do otherwise.
If it is b), you can handle air exchange very easily because you can easily vent to the outside. If the room is sealed well enough, positive pressure ventilation (fan blowing air from the game room into the walk-in, with an exhaust duct to the outside with, say, flapper valves at intake and exhaust) could work quite well. Alternatively, you can go with negative pressure (same deal, but with an exhaust fan), but you have to do something. This also can affect humidifier requirements. Requirements also depend on what the house HVAC system is like.
Also, the humidifier I picked is just an example. I just went to Honeywell's site and glanced at the specs. You probably can go with a smaller one - but that depends on a) or b) above.
Finally, I'm not an HVAC expert. I fooled around with similar problems because my Father had a darkroom in the basement (he was a professional photographer) and I've setup my own darkroom in most of the places that I've lived at (and we were both smokers). I've also helped my friends with sound studios that they've setup - and musicians smoke a lot too. At the root, all three are the same HVAC problem - setting up a sealed room with a controlled climate that is different from the rest of the house.
P.S. Sorry, can't visualize what the wine corks would look like.
