Ddakji
Ddakji is a humble game thatrequires the unique skill of flipping paper tiles.
InSquid Game, ddakji is used to recruit potential players.
With its roots in urban legends tied to life-and-death choices, the same sentiment is shared in the show.

Winners earn a hefty sum and a chance to join the Squid Games.
Meanwhile, losers receive an ungracious slap.
Red Light, Green Light
An innocent childrens gamebecomes a bloodbath in Red Light, Green Light.

Players must cross a massive field within five minutes while obeying commands.
Its as simple as it sounds: Green light means go, while red light means stop and freeze.
Not even the slightest motion is tolerated.

The trick: move long and slow, and stop on the beat.
What makes the candy unique is the markings imprinted on the caramel confectionary.
InSquid Games, players receive a dalgona candy with a shape etched into it.

Tug-of-War
A classic game of tug-of-war means life or death inSquid Game.
Teams of ten compete to pull the opposing team off a raised platform.
Players are shackled to the rope, and losing results in the team plummeting to their deaths.

From synchronizing pulls to counting their movements, it requires more brains than brawn to win this game.
Marbles
Deceptively simple and cunning, one ofSquid Games emotional breaking points is arguably the Marbles game.
Glass Bridge
Players gamble their lives in a game of Glass Bridge.
Players must cross a bridge of tempered and regular glass panels.
Tempered glass holds weight, while regular glass shatters on impact, leading to their deaths.
Theres no knowing where each step leads them to.

Unless players have a unique knowledge of glass properties, its literally anybodys guess in this game.
The attacker must reach the squids head, while the other attempts to block their progress.
But thisSquid Gameversion of the hand game has a new addition minus one.

Just like the standard game, each player forms rock, paper, or scissors with their hands.
But in this version, one player calls minus one, forcing both to remove one hand.
The winner is decided by the remaining hands in play.

Russian Roulette
Theres a 100% chance thatsomeone will die in this lethal game of chance.
Russian Roulette is played with a revolver loaded with one bullet.
Players take turns spinning the chamber, pointing the gun at their temples, and pulling the trigger.

If youre lucky, the bullet wont discharge.
However, each spin only increases the chances that a play might end up getting shot.
The game only ends when the weapon is fully discharged and kills someone.

Players form teams of five andmust successfully navigate a track while their legs are tied together.
Teams must complete all five mini-games and cross the finish line within five minutes.
The more knucklebones youre required to catch, the harder the game is.

While speed is a crucial matter in the overall pentathlon, gonggi requires a high level of patience.
If the shuttlecock touches the ground, players will have to count from zero again.
Any player outside a room or in an incorrectly sized group is immediately sent off.
