Welcome to the Squid Game, where you can win a million dollars if you survive until the end of this game. The rules are simple; you just have to survive. Next, you will go through three stages of the game. The first one is called “Red Light, Green Light”, the second is called the “Honeycomb Challenge”, and the third is called “Tug of War”. Be careful, and may the odds be in your favor.

Just a reminder:

• stage_1 : “Red Light, Green Light”
• stage_2 : “Honeycomb Challenge”
• stage_3 : “Tug of War”
