Squid games

After agreeing to participate in "the games", your picked up by a stranger and then black out. And next thing you know, you wake up here. In some sort of large lobby room, with rows of beds, 455 other people, and a giant piggy bank on the ceiling displaying how much money you could win.

This competition isn't ordinary. It seems simple, since all you need to do to win is win six children's games over the course of six days. But the twist is, you die if you lose. Each death, the prize money goes up, and eventually reaches 45.6 billion won. But the shady bastards don't tell you the fact your killed if you lost, you just have to witness it.

The first game you'll play is simple. Red light Green light. There's a giant doll at the end of the courtyard, and you have to cross it. The doll will say green light, and you move forwards. When it says red light, you can't move. You can get away with a small twitch or light trembling, but not much else. The doll has cameras in it eyes, and they are motion tracking. If it picks up on you moving, guards will shoot you from within the walls and later harvest your body. You have five minutes to cross a the area sized like a football field, and if you don't make it in time you die.

The second day, you play another game. Dalgona, otherwise known as sugar honeycombs. It's also quite simple. Before the game starts, you'll have to pick between four shaped; Star, umbrella, circle or triangle. Depending on what you pick, you have to carve it out of a cookie made with nothing but melted sugar and baking powder. When you pick a shape, you'll be given a small metal tin and a needle. Inside the tin is your cookie with the according shape you picked. You must carve it's outline and cut it out of the Cookie with your needle without cracking or breaking it. If you do, a guard will shoot you. In this game, guards constantly monitor you, so no funny business. You also must carve it out within ten minutes or your shot.

Next game on the third day is tug of war. You, without a clue of what the game is, have to form a team of ten. When all teams are formed, they'll be brought to the tug of war area, and two teams at a time are picked randomly to... Tug. For example, team 11 versus team 7. Each team that takes there turn is put on a platform hundreds of feet in the air, and each team has to hold separate ends of a multiple metre long rope and pull. The losing team is then dropped from the platform, the drop undoubtedly long enough to kill.

Next game on the fourth day is marbles. Once again without knowing what the game is, you have to form teams of two. Then your brought into her another separate area, a sandy place replicating one of the higher-ups childhood neighborhood. You and your parter are given ten marbles each, and just play one variation of a marble game. Then, the first player to lose all ten marbles lose and are shot. The reason no one is informed the game is marbles is because the guards and higher-ups want you to pick someone you've gotten close to and are forced to play against them and possibly get them killed. And if there is no winner between you two within thirty minutes, your both killed.

Second to final game on the fifth day is glass stepping stones, the only luck based game. Before you even get to play, you are brought into a white room. At this point, there is roughly sixteen players left. There is sixteen mannequins in this room, each one with a pink vest with numbers one to sixteen on them. Depending on what number you pick is the order you'll play in. If you pick vest 1 you'll be the first, if you pick vest 16 you'll be last. After picking the order in which you'll play, your then brought to play the actual game. You'll be brought on to yet another platform, hundreds of feet in the ear once again. In front of you, 36 panels in pairs of two. Glass panels. One panel is tempted glass, making it durable and able to hold two people's weight. The other is normal glass, which will shatter the second you jump on it. Jump on the wrong panel and you'll fall to your death and be cut by the glass. The sixteen players have 10 minutes to cross all 36 panels.

And finally, Squid game. At this point, there's usually anywhere between two to four players left. In order to play squid game, there's offense and defense. Defense is trapped within the boundaries and has to stop offense from tapping the neck of the squid of the foot, while offense has to hop on one foot, get past defense and tap the neck of the squid to win. But... Fighting is allowed. If it comes to it, you don't even have to play squid game and can instead fight to the death.

Each day after all surviving a game, the players are given a meal. Not a good one though. Usually it's a single raw potato and a battle of water, sweet potatoes and water, or a singular boiled egg with water. Although, if a group of players make it to the final game, they'll be given a feast. Fancy steaks, perfectly cooked foods, and big portions.

Roughly an hour after this meal, it's lights out. In this event, it is recommended you sleep in the provided beds. But it isn't enforced. You can still fight or chat.

There are also guards constantly keeping watch. These guards are in pink jumpsuits, and each wear a black mask. Each guard has a white shape on their mask, and the shape represents their role. Guards with a circle on their mask are mere workers. They cook the player's meals and do tasks for the other roles. Guards with a triangle on their mask are soldiers. They're the ones that kill the players upon losing. And finally, guards with a square on their mask are managers. They command the circle and triangle guards, are in contact with the frontman himself. Every single guard is armed with a gun, typically an AK-47. And in their pockets is spare ammo.

Speaking of the frontman, he is very important in this operations. He watches the games through screens. He is the one who funds the prize money. The 45.6 billion won, Korean currency. How does he fund the prize money, you may be wondering. Two things. There are people known as VIPs. They pay a hefty price to watch the games and even take place as the triangle guards during games if they feel. They have a fine selection of wines and finger foods, to. And the other reason is a bit dark. He forced the triangle guards to take the bodies, take their organs and sell them. That's it.
