The Pentathlon mode is one of the newest additions to the title, following the release of Squid Game's second season. It requires players to be sorted into teams; all Robloxians must pick their own teams of four and combine their efforts to win Coins.

Once all teams are sorted, each group will be presented with four tasks — one objective per team member. The tasks are presented in sequential order, meaning that only one teammate can take on a challenge at a time. These challenges include a shape-matching challenge, a whack-a-mole-style challenge, a pattern recognition challenge, and more. The challenges are easy to follow as long as you’re paying attention.

Clearing the game mode successfully spares your life and grants you Coins for a job well done.
