What are the rules of Squid Game?
The hit Netflix series has sparked the desire of many to participate in this game. The production recreates traditional games that many played in their childhood, but with one big difference: in real life, they are not deadly.
Here we explain how it is played and what the rules are:
- Participants are divided into two teams: offense and defense.
- When the game begins, defenders can run within the boundaries using both feet, while attackers, outside the lines, can only hop on one foot.
- If an attacker crosses the defense line, reaching the squid’s waist, they are free to use both feet to move. This is known as “inspector royale.”
- When it’s time for the final battle, attackers gather at the squid’s entrance.
- To win, attackers must hit the small space at the squid’s head with their foot. However, if a defender pushes you out of bounds, you are eliminated.
- When the squid’s head is hit, the attacking team shouts: “Victory.”
What is the purpose of Squid Game?
The series follows 456 people, all in desperate financial situations, who are drawn into an enigmatic survival game based on various childhood games. Those who manage to overcome all the challenges will receive a hefty prize, while those who are unlucky will pay the price with their lives.
Where was Squid Game filmed?
The series was filmed at Inchon Hangang River Park, a well-known location that has appeared in several Korean movies and dramas.
Why is it called Squid Game?
The name comes from a popular children’s game from the 1970s. In this game, two players face off within a field marked by geometric figures such as a circle, a triangle, and a square, which together form the shape of a squid.
What is the deeper meaning of Squid Game?
Squid Game portrays a society where the poorest people lack real opportunities to improve their status and reach the level of the wealthy, but where the illusion persists that everyone has the same opportunities.
What does the doll say in Squid Game?
In the first challenge, titled “Red Light, Green Light”, the giant doll sings: “We will play, move on green light.” After that, it goes silent, and participants who were running must stop and remain completely still. If anyone moves, they are eliminated from the game.
Will there be a third season of Squid Game?
It is expected that this second season will lead to the third and final installment, which would arrive on Netflix in 2025.
