What these trials take from the format
Five rounds, each with its own rule for losing: a red-light round where moving late puts you out, a hunter that thins the crowd, a spinning plate that throws you off the edge, a wall of lava that catches whoever falls behind, and a straight race where only the finish line counts. You play every round as one marble in the pack, against marbles controlled by the computer.
Five trials, five different rules
Same balls, five completely different ways to lose them.
- Red Light
- Run on green, freeze on red. Move one pixel too late and you are out.
- The Hunter
- A hungry predator chases the swarm. Stay alive longer than everyone else.
- The Carousel
- Stay on the spinning plate. HOLD the button to pull yourself back in — it burns fuel.
- Lava Run
- Outrun the LAVA and reach the cave. Last one there is lava.
- The Great Race
- A dash to the finish through breakable barriers, boosts and a lot of shoving.

Questions people actually ask
- Is this the official Squid Game game?
- No. It is an independent browser game with elimination rounds of the same shape, made by two people. It has nothing to do with Netflix or with the series.
- Is it really free?
- Yes, and there are no ads. Coins buy extra uses of the in-match boosters and gems buy looks, but every booster button is free on its first use in every run — for you and for the bots — and the super move is never sold, you earn it by playing.
- Do I need to download or install anything?
- No. There is nothing to download and no account to create. You open the page and you are in a trial.
- Can I play it on my phone?
- Yes. It works on a phone and on a desktop browser. One tap and you are rolling.
