5 Children’s Games That May Appear in Squid Game 2

Here’s a rundown of children’s games that could be part of this thrilling new Netflix series, where around 456 contestants will battle for a grand prize of $4.65 million:

1) Group Jump Rope

The new season might incorporate the beloved children’s game of Group Jump Rope. Typically played during field days in South Korean public schools, this traditional game could take a dark twist in Squid Game 2, where mistakes might lead to elimination via sharp hooks attached to the ropes.

2) Biseokchigi

Another classic game that may be featured is Biseokchigi, usually played in teams or by pairs. A line is drawn, and a stone is placed there. The objective is to knock down the opposing stone using one’s own stone. In the ruthless world of Squid Game 2, the losing team might face fatal consequences.

4) Elastics

5) Da Bang Gu

Da Bang Gu is a variation of the classic “tag”game, where certain players get captured. In this new interpretation, the opposing team, represented by pink soldiers, could prevent rescues through deadly force. If the other team fails to save their captured teammates, it could lead to dire outcomes in Squid Game 2.
