These are just a few of the things fans will be pondering until season 3 of Squid Game drops.
What Games Should Be Included In Squid Game Season 3?
Redditor @Current_Extension461 suggested three new games that could be played in Squid Game season 3, which will be the final season: Human Chess, Monkey Bars, and Jack and Jill. They explained their vision for human chess and wrote:
“There would be 2 groups, black & white, and one person from each group would pick a leader to control how the game goes – I predict that player 465 will control a group. Players would be eliminated if their piece is killed. The game would end when one team wins.”
As for monkey bars, the fan wrote, “it might just be like regular monkey bars that they have to pass to the other side. I think this game will just leave like 3 or 4 people alive like s1.” Squid Game season 2 had some big twists, and it sounds like a Monkey Bars game could lead to some huge surprises, too. Then, the fan explained their idea for Jack and Jill:
“I think it will be played in pairs and they will make it kind of like marbles from s1, eliminating some main characters. After the whole war against the guards, I predict that 68 players would be left, and this game would eliminate half of the players.”
These three games sound like realistic choices for Squid Game season 3 because they can be played by children, which is one of the criteria for the games in the Netflix series. Out of all three, Human Chess seems the most likely since this sounds terrifying. After the cliffhanger ending of Squid Game season 2, hopes are high that the third and final season will deliver as many wild moments as the two previous seasons. Watching the Players be forced to treat each other as chess pieces would be intense and horrifying, which is exactly the tone of the show. Fans appreciate the show because it’s never predictable, and there’s no reason to think that would change with the third season of this hit series.
No matter what games are played in Squid Game season 3, fans can assume that there will be a high body count and some big secrets and reveals. Watching the Players fight for their survival and play mind games with one another is one of the most gripping aspects of the series.
What Games Were Played In Squid Game Season 1 And Squid Game Season 2?
In Squid Game season 1, the characters played Red Light, Green Light, Ppopgi, Tug of War, Marbles, Glass Tile, and The Squid Game which is where the title comes from. The games in Squid Game season 2 include Red Light, Green Light along with Tag, Mingle, The Special Game, and Six Legs.
Squid Game season 2 has a high Rotten Tomatoes score because it delivered on the promise of season 1. While there are plenty of TV shows that offer a commentary on the politics and divisions of today, Squid Game is unique. It’s part competition show, part action-packed thriller, and it combines serious storylines with horror movie elements. If some parts of Squid Game season 2 were more interesting than the first season, then perhaps the games in Squid Game season 3 will be even more gripping than the previous two seasons. Every episode builds on the last and there are so many layers to this compelling, smart, and sad series.
One thing is certain: shooting the games in Squid Game season 3 will be as scary as the previous seasons. According to Netflix.tudum.com, Hwang Dong-hyuk said about the glass bridge scene:
“I think the reason why that scene was realistic was because the set itself was a little frightening for the actors. The fear portrayed on-screen wasn’t fake.”
