Participants gathered in a massive facility are all dressed in green tracksuits and called by the numbers engraved on their chests. Following the instructions of the Pink Guards, the guides, the participants challenge six games. The first competition is 'Red Light, Green Light,' where they must reach the goal within the time limit. This is followed by 'Dalgona Candy,' 'Tug of War,' 'Marbles,' 'Glass Bridge,' and the 'Squid Game.' In each competition, rules must not be broken; there are moments for cooperation among allies and moments where conflict is unavoidable. Meal times and lights-out are strictly managed, and contact with the outside world is forbidden. The prize money increases based on the number of survivors, and only the last person standing can claim the massive fortune. Conan and the others use their wisdom and courage as weapons to begin uncovering the truth behind the mysterious facility. Surveillance cameras are installed throughout the facility, and masked staff members constantly watch the participants. The room is a large dormitory lined with bunk beds. The contents of the games are not informed in advance and are explained just before they begin. Participants can hold a majority vote midway through, and if everyone agrees, they can choose to terminate the game. The numbers of those eliminated continue to be recorded. The tension only grows. No one can sleep. Night falls.
