These horrifying games result in life-or-death situations that end up taking dozens of lives.

So, which games are the most terrifying in theSquid Gamecompetition?

Because players have to minimize movement completely, this makes the game slightly dangerous.

Any movement leads to someone dying, regardless if they were pushed or frightened.

Although it contains simple and easy-to-understand rules, many players end up dying in this game.

The whole goal of the game is to get all ten marbles from one’s partner.

Any game using the marbles could be played, but there is only one winner.

Those who lost all their marbles were automatically eliminated.

More importantly, after losing their marbles, a player can only expect death.

It’s the dread that follows that makes this game, in particular, terrifying.

However, it’s not so much the game that is difficult.

Rather, it’s the fact that the game is timed that it becomes immensely more difficult.

Nothing sounds particularly frightening about knocking down a stone by throwing another stone.

Was it mentioned that this game, like ‘Gonggi,’ is timed?

Now, that’s terrifying.

6Spinning Top

‘Spinning Top’ is the fourth game in the six-legged pentathlon.

It involves players wrapping a string around the spinning top and flinging it to the floor.

If done successfully, the top will spin.

If the player fails to throw the spinning top correctly, then it’ll just topple over.

Another simple child’s game, ‘Spinning Top’ looks rather simple.

But, like most of the games on the list, it can be anxiety-inducing.

‘Tug of War’ is mostly a game of strength, which is terrifying for a deadly competition.

This one, players have to go in order and watch out for the easy-to-break glass.

For those who guess wrong, the glass panel breaks, and the player falls to their death.

This is the fifth challenge in the games.

‘Glass Bridge’ only has a half survival rate, and this makes the game extremely frightening.

A team game, ‘Mingle’, involves several stages of partners.

Those who are unable to team up with the necessary number of people end up being eliminated.

‘Mingle’ can be an extremely difficult game, thus making it a deadly and frightening game.

Then, it’s everybody for themselves.

On the ground, there is a diagram of a squid.

This game involves two teams: offense and defense.

Only one player survives, which is a scary thing to think about.
