Squid Game

squid game

is an annual competition in which hundreds of participants compete in a mystery survival contest consisting of six games over six days. The games are modeled after popular children's games, and participants who do not win or do not follow the rules of the game are eliminated. The sole survivor at the end of the competition receives a large sum of money.

participants or players

After playing rounds of ttakchi with the Recruiter, players are given a card. The player calls the number on the back of the card. The employee asks the participant's name and date of birth, gives them a password, and a meeting time. The participant is picked up by workers, who then gas them to render them unconscious. Upon arrival on the island, they are taken to a room where all of their belongings and clothing (except for underwear) are stored in a box, and are changed into the player's uniform. They are then put to bed. Players' clothing: The participants wear a navy green jacket with a white shirt underneath, along with navy green pants and white sneakers. The jacket has a high collar and a player's number patch on the left chest and upper back. The sleeve of the jacket has a white stripe that extends to the elbow. Like the jacket, the pants also have a white stripe on each side of the leg that extends to the end. The white shirts have a navy green lining on the collar and sleeves, and their number is written in large letters on the back and front.

first game

The game takes place in a rectangular room with an open roof, the walls of which are painted with wallpaper resembling a blue sky and houses on a sandy area. Yeon-hee, a tall mechanical doll resembling a little girl, stands at one end, behind her is a dead tree, and next to her are two guards in round masks. There are rectangular holes on the walls with sniper rifles that will shoot and eliminate players who fail the game. At the other end are several doors, with the wallpaper being houses and the doors being the entrance to them. This is where players enter the game. There is also a retractable roof made of an unknown material, covered in foliage, which seals the top of the room after the game ends. Players must cross a red finish line within five minutes without being caught by Yeon-hee for making the slightest move. A player can move if they say "Green Light" and stop if they say "Red Light". If a player moves while Yeon-hee is turning around or does not cross the finish line within the time limit, they will be automatically shot by one of the sniper rifles and eliminated from the game.

second game

In the Sugar Honeycomb game, participants were asked to choose the cookie shape they wanted to cut out before being informed of the game. The choices were a circle, a triangle, a star, and an umbrella. After choosing a shape, they were given small metal containers. Inside, they found a needle and the shapes they had chosen, drawn on a sugar honeycomb. The game was to cut out shapes from the honeycomb without breaking it before time ran out in 10 minutes. Players who broke their honeycomb or did not finish in time were eliminated from the game and executed by the guards. Umbrella: This is an extremely difficult shape because it has many lines and angles. Star: This shape is difficult because it also has many lines. When you cut it out, it breaks most of the time. Circle: This is a medium-difficulty shape because all you have to do is break off pieces on the edges and then finish with the main shape. Triangle: This is the easiest shape. It has only three lines and you can cut them out easily.

special game

a bonus game that took place between the second and third games and took place in the dormitory. Although it was not part of the six games, it was a planned staff event to "weed out the weak."

third game

Before the game of tug of war began, participants were asked to form teams of ten. Each team was tasked with competing against another randomly selected team in a tug of war on two platforms that were modeled to resemble cranes. Before the game began, each player was chained to a common rope; the rope itself was passed through a guillotine suspended between the two platforms. Once the losing team was thrown off the platform, the guillotine's blade would cut the rope in two, causing the losing players to fall to their deaths from a very high altitude and be eliminated from the game.

fourth game

Before learning what the game would be, the players had to team up with someone. It later turned out that they were to compete against each other. The rules of the game are as follows: "Using your set of ten marbles, play a game of your choice with a partner. The winner is the player who manages to take all ten marbles from their partner." Each of them was given a bag of ten marbles, the object of the game was to win ten marbles from the other player in a game of their choice within thirty minutes. The winner was the one who managed to take all the marbles from their partner. If time ran out and someone did not take all the marbles, or if the players lost their marbles, they were eliminated from the game. Before the game began, the players had to form pairs. After that, they were informed that they had to compete against each other, not in teams.

fifth game

Before the game, players were asked to choose a number from how many players remain to how many players remain. Players were then told that this would be the order in which they would jump across the panels. The game took place in a large room decorated like a circus tent. Players began the game on a platform at one end of the room, which was connected to another platform at the opposite end by two bridges, each made up of nine glass panels. The panels were either tempered glass, capable of supporting the weight of at least two players, or regular glass, which would not support even one. The goal of the game was for players to successfully cross the bridges by jumping on the tempered glass while avoiding the regular glass within sixteen minutes. When the time limit reached zero, all of the glass panels exploded, killing all players remaining on the bridges.

sixth game

There is an attacker and a defender. The attacker must enter the court in the form of a squid, run past the defense and step on the area inside the "squid head" to ensure victory. To win, the defender must block the attacker's progress and force him out of the court. If a situation arises in which either player is unable to continue the game, the winner is the last player remaining. Any violence is allowed in the game. Also here the players are dressed in business black suits with their numbers

prize

The last player remaining receives 45,600,000,000 won For every death of one player, 100,000,000 won goes into the piggy bank

dormitory

The Dorm is a location in Squid Game. It is where players stay between games. It is also known as the "Lobby" or "Bedroom". Description The Dorm is a rectangular room with bunk beds on metal frames located along the walls. The basic architecture and plain walls reflect its sterility. In addition to the beds, there is a large screen on the wall that displays the number of remaining participants and the prize pool. A large transparent acrylic piggy bank periodically descends from the ceiling of the Dorm as an exhibit. This is accompanied by yellow theater spotlights and upbeat chiptune music reminiscent of arcade games. Inside the piggy bank are prize money that Squid Game players have already earned in the form of stacks of banknotes. There also appear to be fluorescent lights attached to the black parts of the walls.
