According to Screenrant, although the games from Squid Game seasons 1 and 2 may seem scary, they are not as scary and have as terrible consequences as the games in season 3.

The first "blue light, red light" from "Squid Game" season 1 was considered the biggest shocking factor, because many people left in this game.

However, when it comes to suffering and tragic elements, a game in Squid Game 3 is definitely at the top of the list, which is the flight away game. This is the first game to publicly encourage players to kill each other, leading to shocking deaths for the audience.

At the beginning of season 3, the players were divided into 2 teams, making viewers wonder whether the show was introducing a new, more complex game.

But instead of adopting a new game, season 3 introduces one of the most familiar games in the world: hide and seek. Even the rules are as simple as possible, one team takes a run and finds a way to escape the arena, the other team must go looking for them.

However, to increase the appeal, the show added some new rules to the game. Each player in the escape team receives a key, they can use this key to unlock the doors in the game's arena and finally find an escape route.

At first, players thought their keys would take them anywhere in the arena, but they soon realized that there were three types of keys: square, round and triangular. Players can only open doors with lock holes corresponding to the shape of the key they own.

To make the game more difficult, the players in the search team gave them sharp knives and were asked to kill at least one person who fled within 30 minutes of the game starting, in order to qualify for the next round.

Episode 2 of Squid Game 3 is considered the most tragic episode with the shocking deaths of the main characters.

Hyun Ju (Park Sung Hoon) has found a way out. She should have escaped safely alone, but Hyun Ju was suddenly killed by Myung Gi (Im Si Wan), when she decided to return to take Mrs. Geum Ja (Kang Ae Shim) and mother and son Jun Hee (Jo Yuri) with her.

Geum Ja and Jun Hee have a chance to escape after Hyun Ju's sacrifice, but the two are stopped by Geum Ja's son Yong Sik ( Yang Dong Geun).

Once a hero in season 2, until now, Yong Sik has been so desperate that he considered killing Jun Hee right after she gave birth. But Mrs. Geum Ja used a knife to stab her son to save Jun Hee and her mother.

After the game, Mrs. Geum Ja gradually loses her will to live by killing her child and chooses to commit suicide, leaving Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) with the responsibility of helping Jun Hee and her newborn child.

In the end, Jun Hee could not survive because of a leg injury and could not get through the rope dance.

The tragic passing of characters Hyun Ju, Geum Ja, Yong Sik, Jun Hee and the loss of humanity of Myung Gi are controversial details in Squid Game 3.
