You know you’ve made it big when video game social media accounts start posting memes about your TV show.
Squid Game has taken off as something of a streaming sensation, captivating audiences with its brutal, tense story about contestants fighting their way through a series of six terrifying—and deadly—games. Some minor spoilers follow. There are a series of six total games that Seong Gi-Hun (aka Player 456) and his fellow contestants have to navigate. Some of these are children’s games that the characters remember from their youth. The second game is the honeycomb shape cutting challenge. It’s during this game that we start to realize that Gi-Hun’s friend, Cho Sang-Woo, might not be a good guy, after all. In any case, contestants were not told the nature of the game before starting.
