In Squid Game, the games themselves each pose a unique challenge. Some require brains, some brawn, and others a mess of screaming and panicking. With no expectation of what's to come for any of the players, each time the doors open up, the characters have to decide who they want to align with, befriend, and join as a teammate, whilst avoiding making enemies.

Both seasons one and two introduce several games that test all manner of skills and abilities. The intrigue comes from the adaptation of childhood games into large arenas of death and despair. Simplicity is key, with each having a few rules to follow and a major cost to those or are unfortunate enough to lose.

The game is simple enough: hold all the marbles at the end to win. The twist is that the games the players play are chosen by themselves, meaning it can be a test of luck, skill, or intelligence depending on what is decided upon.

Many characters were sacrificed and betrayed, with the primary difficulty coming from the ability to outwit or outplay the other player. Though it may not be that hard, there is still a lot of trickery. In order to succeed, players have to be on the ball.
