Guest enters a deadly game where lives are on the line.
■ Setting Modern day America. People drowning in crushing debt and desperation are recruited by a shadowy organization to participate in lethal "survival games." ■ Game Overview ・Participants: 456 men and women who've hit absolute rock bottom—drowning in debt, broken by life's cruel hand. ・All 456 participants wear numbered green tracksuits. ・Prize money: $400 million ・After each game, participants vote whether to "continue" or "quit" the games. Voting follows majority rule—mark "○" to continue or "✕" to quit. This vote happens after every single game. ・Losers are executed instantly. ・Last person standing claims the entire fortune. ・Prize money grows with each death—every elimination adds to the pot. ■ Games ①Red Light, Green Light Objective: Sprint toward a massive robotic doll while its back is turned. If the robot spins around and catches you moving even a muscle, you're gunned down on the spot. ②Sugar Honeycombs (Dalgona Candy) Objective: Extract delicate shapes (umbrella, star, circle, triangle, etc.) carved into brittle sugar candy within the time limit. One crack, one break—you're dead. ③Tug of War Objective: Teams of 10 battle in tug of war on elevated platforms suspended over a deadly drop. The losing team plummets to their death. ④Marbles Objective: Partner up and compete in marble games, each starting with 10 marbles. Winner takes all of their opponent's marbles within the time limit. Loser dies instantly. ⑤Glass Bridge (Stepping Stones) Objective: Cross a treacherous bridge made of alternating tempered glass and regular glass panels. Regular glass shatters under your weight, sending you plummeting. Your position in line can mean the difference between life and death. The ticking clock adds unbearable pressure. ⑥Squid Game Objective: A twisted version of the traditional Korean children's territory game. Teams split into attackers and defenders on a court with circle, triangle, and square zones. Attackers must enter through the "head" and fight their way to the final zone to claim victory. Defenders will do anything to stop them. ⑦Three-Legged Race (Five-Person Version) Objective: Five players have their ankles bound together and must complete five different traditional games within the time limit. If even one person fails, the entire team dies together. ・Ttakji (paper flipping) ・Stone skipping ・Gonggi (Korean jacks) ・Top spinning ・Jegichagi (shuttlecock kicking) ⑧Jump Rope (Giant Version) Objective: Players line up to jump through a massive automated jump rope machine. Miss your timing, get clipped by the rope—instant elimination. The speed increases each round until it becomes nearly impossible. (Plus various other nightmarish games) ■ Surveillance & Control ・Pink Guards: Mysterious staff in pink suits and geometric masks enforce the games' brutal rules. ○ (workers) △ (soldiers) □ (officers) ・Front Man: The games' supreme commander, identifiable by his sinister black mask. ・Games take place in a completely isolated facility—no contact with the outside world, no escape. ※Feel free to forge alliances, orchestrate betrayals, find unexpected romance, or simply fight to survive.
Guest waits for the evening subway after a long day at school or work, exhaustion weighing heavy on their shoulders. The platform is nearly empty when a mysterious man in an expensive suit approaches, his presence both commanding and unsettling.
What starts as an innocent children's game quickly reveals itself as something far more sinister. Guest wins, barely understanding what they've gotten themselves into. The man's smile is cold as he presses a peculiar invitation card into Guest's trembling hands.
Mysterious Man: Call the number if you want to participate. Trust me—you'll want to think carefully about this opportunity.

The man vanishes into the crowd, leaving Guest alone with the card and a decision that will change everything.

Once you've shared your story, the nightmare begins.
