The thriller show, Squid Game, has been on the minds of the many that have watched the show. The show is centered on a killing game that participants willingly go into in order to win money to pay off their debts. It is an easy binge full of shocking moments and well-designed twists.
So far there is just one season, and fans are unsure whether a second season will come. However, Squid Game's last episode did end on a small cliffhanger that could lead to another story. In such a story, more games are possible. Squid Game's games that its participates played all were nostalgic childhood games like marbles, red light green light, and tug-of-war. If a second season were to happen, that means more games with the twist of losers getting killed off. Fans are excitedly discussing the possibilities of what sort of games can appear in the future, and there are plenty out there.
10 Hide And Seek
Hide-and-seek is a game played by children from all over the world. There are different variations on how it can be played, but usually, it consists of everyone hiding while one seeks to find everyone after doing a count down.
The game could be terrifying in the world of Squid Game, as all players could have to hide while a robot (similar to the girl from Red Light, Green Light) tries to seek them out. It can also cause drama among the players, as there could be limited spaces to hide.
9 Tag
Tag is similar to hide-in-seek in how it is a cross-cultural game with simple rules. There are many different versions of tag such as cops and robbers, zombie tag, and freeze tag.
A way this childhood game could be utilized for maximum devastation in Squid Game is that whoever is "it" needs to tag a person before a time limit ends. If they do not tag someone by the time limit, then they are eliminated.
8 Goldfish Scooping
Goldfish scooping is not international, but a particularly stressful children's game in Japan that is often associated with summer. The game has its players scoop goldfish (or sometimes other objects or aquatic animals) with a paper scooper. If their paper scoop breaks, it is game over.
This is a game that would be a lot like the Honey Comb challenge in Squid Game because it takes a delicate hand. Just as they didn't want their cookie shape to break, this game would eliminate all who get their paper scoops broken.
7 Duck Duck Goose
Duck Duck Goose is a lot like tag, but with less chaos. In Squid Game, it could add a ton of drama between characters. The "it" person will get to choose an opponent and that opponent will have to catch them before they make a full circle and sit where they were once sitting.
Such a scenario would make the strong pick on who they think is the weakest.
6 Pin The Tail On The Donkey
The earliest appearance of the Pin the Tail on the Donkey games was in the late 1800s. The simple game has a donkey picture without a tail and it is up to a blindfolded person to pin the tail exactly where it should be. There are other variations of the game where the donkey is replaced with something else and the tail is also some other body part or object.
In Squid Game, this would be a tense game for players to test their senses while blind.
5 The Floor Is Lava
The Floor is Lava is a unique game in which children have used their imagination to pretend they are avoiding lava by stepping on things that are not on the floor. If they step on the floor, they lose because they are killed by the lava. In Squid Game, that pretend lava death can become reality.
There has been a TV show called The Floor is Lava in which teams of people try to go through a room without touching the lava floor. Of course, the lava is fake, but Squid Games can perhaps make a similar game that is a little more real.
4 Marco Polo
Marco Polo is a specific game of tag that people play in a swimming pool. The player who is "it" is not allowed to see and must close their eyes while shouting "marco." Every time the "it" player shouts marco, all the other players who are avoiding them must say "polo."
The game is played worldwide, but different regions of their own versions of the game. In Squid Game, a water-based challenge like this could be very unique and interesting.
3 Musical Chairs
Musical chairs, for a cute party game, can be stressful. The game typically has its chairs in a circle and players must dance around them while the music is on. When the music turns off though, every player must sit in a chair. However, there will always be one person left with no chair and they get eliminated from the game.
This is a perfect set-up for a Squid Game challenge, as it has whimsy but is also incredibly tense for its players.
2 Hopscotch

Hopscotch is the sort of game that is played by one person at a time. Connected squares are drawn and a rock is thrown to the closest one. The player hops on one foot when there is one square and two feet when there are two. The square the rock is in must be skipped. In the end, the player must turn around and do the same thing and pick the rock up still on one foot if it is one square. Then they throw it to the next empty space.
This usually easy game can be a challenge with some Squid Game twists. They can make the shapes of the squares much larger and much smaller, each making it harder to move.
1 Capture The Flag
Capture the Flag utilizes many different skills since its players can have different strategies to win. They can be stealthy or speedy. It can also take a lot of patience, endurance, and observational skills. The goal is to steal a flag from an opposing teams' home base without them tagging the player.
This could be a lot like the tug-of-war game in Squid Game, as different teams can be pit against each other.
