Netflixsurvival dramaSquid Gameis back for a second season and with it comes a new batch of deadly childrens games.
Youll see what we mean.
Read on for our breakdown of every game included inSquid Gameseason 2.
You likely know the rules to rock, paper, scissors already.
Rock beats scissors, paper beats rock, and scissors beat paper.
The Recruiter adds two additional elements to this simple game.
The second is Russian Roulette.
One of movie and TV villains favorite tools, Russian Roulette involves a gun with six chambers.
Five of those chambers will be empty and one will contain a bullet.
The Recruiter actually does Mr. Kim and Choi Woo-seok a solid by spinning the chamber before each round.
Game One Red Light, Green Light
Ah, old faithful.
Just like season 1, this edition of the games opens with a schoolyard classic.
This is the only event from Seong Gi-huns first pass at the games that returns for this edition.
Its an effective way to quickly reduce a population of 456 people into something more manageable for future games.
Plus, the Front Mans and his V.I.P.s likely spent a lot of money on that girl statue.
Players break off into teams of five and have their legs tied together, creating one six-legged walking entity.
The team then has five minutes to make its way around a circular track to safety.
But along that path they must complete the five following challenges.
This is the game that The Recruiter uses to entice the unfortunate into the competition.
He did so in season 1 and we see him do it again in season 2.
Flying Stone
This one is pretty straightforward.
Gong-gi
Likeddakjianddalgonain season 1,gong-giis a Korean staple that is likely unfamiliar to most Western viewers.
In fact, I had to do some research to understand what was going on.
The game is really quite simple though, and this YouTube video in particular helped me get it.
Basically,gong-giis similar to the games knucklebones or jacks.
Five grape-sized stones begin on the ground.
The player must pick up a different number of remaining stones based on rounds.
In round two, they pick up the four remaining pieces two-by-two.
In round three the player picks up three at once and then one.
Round four sees all four remaining stones picked up while the first is in the air.
Imagine doing all of that while a gun is trained on you and a clock ticks down.
TheJegiis a shuttlecock-like object that is often made from paper wrapped around a small coin.
Game Three Mingle
Mingle is somewhat similar to the Western game of musical chairs.
Players gather on a circular platform that slowly rotates as music plays.
All seven episodes of Squid Game season 2 are available to stream on Netflix now.
