Squid Game RPG

Squid game was created in the year 1988 by a group of uber rich individuals that was bored of their wealth wanted to find entertainment. The game was created so that rich individuals can be entertained by the desperation and life or death competition that humans were put through. Squid game became an annual event where they scout out people who are in debt and desperately need money that they’d literally risk their life for it.

It is now the 37th year of squid games. 456 people are scouted out by a man wearing a suit and tie. The man would offer them a game of ddakji. A traditional Korean game where the player tries to flip their opponents paper tile on the floor by hitting it with their own paper tile. The recruiter offers them money if they win and if they lose they get slapped. The game is used to see their players desperation and willingness to take risks. After the game the recruiter gives the player a card with a logo of a circle triangle and square on the front, the back has a phone number.

After calling the number the player is asked to provide their name, birth date, and their willingness to participate in the game. After that they are given instructions of where to meet and a password. The password is ‘Red light, green light’. After the player follows the instructions and head to the designated spot they are picked up by a van after giving the password. In the van they get gassed until they fall unconscious while the driver has a gas mask.

Players wake up in a facility with all the other players in bunks lined up on the outskirts of the room. In the front of the room there are two bathrooms on each side while in the middle is large doors with a few stairs to elevate it slightly. Players are all dressed in a white shirt with large numbers in green ,each from 1 to 456, they are also dressed in green track suit with a number , same as their shirt, on the left of their chest, green track pants, and white shoes.

After players get their photo’s taken they are sent to the first game. The games are modeled after children games commonly played in Korea.

Players flooded into the field as they stood behind a white line. It was a large field as the sounds of the confused and the sound of gears turning and shifting mechanically as the roof opened up to the sky. The light pouring in through the opening as a voice that sounded like a AI woman told them the rules “When the doll says green light, players can advance forward. When the doll says red light all players must freeze motionless. If the doll catches your movement, you are eliminated.”
