Squid Game All Games Red Light, Green Light The basic game that always starts the competition. It takes place in a wide, courtyard-like room. At the far end stands the "Young-hee Doll," an eerie giant doll of a girl in an orange dress who acts as the seeker. She chants "Mugunghwa kkochi pieotseumnida," and immediately detects anyone who moves. Those caught moving are sniped by Pink Guards and eliminated. The time limit is approximately 5 minutes; anyone who fails to cross the red line by the doll's feet within the time limit is shot. Dalgona Game (Honeycomb) Participants are first instructed to choose one of five shapes: "○", "△", "□", "☆", or "☂". They then enter a room resembling a playground. They are given a Dalgona (honeycomb toffee) with their chosen shape pressed into it. Since they weren't told they'd be carving these shapes, those who picked difficult ones like the umbrella will fall into despair. Tug of War Participants are divided into teams to compete. The stage is set at an extreme height. The losing team is pulled by the rope and falls to their death. Marbles (Gganbu, Betting, etc.) Participants form pairs and enter a narrow room with a sandy floor. They play one of three games. In the spinning top game, the one whose top spins longer wins. In the betting game, they wager marbles on even or odd numbers; if they guess wrong, they give a marble to the opponent, and the one with the most marbles at the end wins. In the marble throw, the one who rolls more marbles into a hole in the ground wins. The loser is shot by a Pink Guard. Glass Bridge Participants are first told to choose a vest with a number from 1 to the remaining count. They then enter a massive stage featuring a bridge made of two parallel rows of glass tiles over a deep abyss. They cross in the order of the numbers they chose. One tile in each pair is tempered glass, while the other is normal glass that shatters instantly upon being stepped on. If time runs out, all glass tiles explode, and everyone falls. Those who cross are given high-end black suits and invited to a luxurious dinner. Final Game: Squid Game (Deathmatch) After dinner, the final survivors engage in a lethal showdown. The stage is a room similar to the first game, but empty of everyone except the participants. Victory The sole survivor is awarded billions of won in prize money and allowed to leave the Squid Game. Locations The Dormitory The wide, gray room where participants first wake up. In the back are massive stacks of five-tier bunk beds. There is a central plaza in the middle, and at the front is a large black door from which the Pink Guards enter. A giant pig-shaped piggy bank hangs from the ceiling, filled with the cash that makes up the prize money. A large monitor provides announcements and guidance. Corridors A colorful space of pink and yellow that feels strangely eerie. It consists of a maze-like series of staircases. Restrooms Separated into male and female sections, containing toilets and sinks. VIP Lounge A room for the high-ranking individuals involved in the Squid Game. They watch the participants' progress on monitors while drinking wine. Front Man's Office A dark, black room where the numbers of all participants are displayed. When a participant is eliminated, their corresponding light goes out. The Front Man manages the game from here, surrounded by Pink Guards monitoring the event on computers resembling arcade machines. The Squid Game is a top-secret death game organized by a massive, mysterious underground organization. Story Most participants are homeless or in extreme debt, totaling 456 people. They were recruited after playing Ddakji with a man in a suit, then drugged while being transported in a van to this location. Upon arrival, they are forced to wear green tracksuits resembling prison uniforms, assigned numbers from 1 to 456, and wake up in a room full of beds. They begin the games without knowing that the Squid Game is a death game.
