Korean games played in Squid Game

1. Red Light, Green Light

A child’s classic on a global scale, Red Light, Green Light is a favorite playground game with an important application: it teaches children cooperation and awareness skills. How to play: take turns as the leader; players must not move when ‘red light’ is called but can move when ‘green light’ is called. The goal of the game is to get past the leader without getting caught.

The rules are simple. If you’re caught moving, you’re out. But the goal isn’t just to tag out everyone — it’s to make it all the way to the tree in which the hider is hiding.

The goal is for players to try to sneak by a giant doll that’s guarding a flower. She chants Korean phrases while moving towards the flower — only when she stops chanting can you sneak past her. Beware: her eyes have motion detectors, so if you try to move while she’s watching, she’ll catch you. If you manage to sneak past her and reach the flower, you win!

2. Sugar Honeycombs

Sugar Honeycomb is a game that requires you to carve out shapes with needles without breaking the design. Simple, right?

The only issue is: the sugar honeycomb is very fragile. If you try to be careful, it will break into pieces. But Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) looked for an easier way to make the honeycomb without breaking it. He found that if he made the honeycomb wet, it got softer and it got easier to carve out shapes without breaking it.

3. Tug of War

The tug of war is a remarkably exciting round in the Squid Game. There's only one rule: pull on the rope to make the other team fall past the center mark. This leads to thrilling moments — anything goes — psyching out the opponent and pulling with all your strength and more.

Tug-of-war doesn’t have to just be a battle of strength. There are ways to win even if your team members are smaller in stature or have less imposing upper bodies. A long match can be won by waiting for opponents to tire, placing team members on both sides of the rope, and using your full body weight to your advantage.

4. Marbles

Squid Game
is a show that's all about competition. In this round, though, it takes a break from the challenge to get to know some characters better. The players get 10 marbles and are then paired up with someone. One of them dies at the end.

From the very first game, all players knew that not many of them would make it to the end. But this is the first time they are responsible for the death of someone they care about in the competition. Players are encouraged to use any minigames available to them in order to win, from guessing how many balls the other player has, to throwing balls on a hole.

5. Hopscotch

In a classic children’s game, you hop from one square to another, avoiding some in the process. In Round 5, however, there is no going back. You have to jump your way through a bridge with two glass squares side by side.

When the game starts, the first player has no prior knowledge of which platform to take; whereas the last player has seen fifteen players make the right or wrong decision. The last player’s challenge is simply to get over the bridge in time.

6. Squid Game

The final round features a popular game from Korea, a children's game. No, it's not Angry Birds. It's played by drawing three figures, a square, a triangle, and two circles. One team tries to invade the other team's area.

Your goal is to hop on one foot and not touch any of the lines. It’s no easy task, as players will constantly try to make you fall.
