Fans also came up with more assumptions about upcoming challenges in the show.
"the 3 probable games left in the next season... 4-Jack and Jill 5- Human Chess 6- Monkey Bars now yes it is obvious that Junhee and the old lady are going to die," said another viewer of Squid Game on X.
"Next game is Jack and Jill for Squid Game???" speculated one more viewer.
Fans on Instagram have also been eagerly speculating about the upcoming deadly games in Squid Game season 3.
However, some viewers believe these games may not feature in Squid Game season 3.
Deadly twists on childhood games: Fans speculate on Squid Game season 3 challenges
Jack and Jill is expected to draw inspiration from the iconic nursery rhyme of the same name. The game involves players taking on the roles of Jack and Jill, racing up and down a hill or a designated space.
Their objective is to retrieve an object, symbolizing the rhyme's "pail of water." However, there's a twist: if a player falls during the race, they may face penalties, such as restarting the challenge or completing a punishment task.
Keeping the pattern of the series in mind, falling during the climb may result in brutal penalties. The playful premise might mask the high stakes, where a simple stumble must lead to deadly consequences, staying true to the show's lethal stakes.
Human Chess is speculated to transform the strategic board game into a life-or-death scenario. Contestants will have to assume the roles of chess pieces on a massive board, moving under the direction of designated "players." Capturing an opponent's piece can lead to the real-time execution of the corresponding participant, making each move a matter of survival and intellect.
Monkey Bars is anticipated to test contestants' physical endurance and strength. Players might be required to traverse a series of elevated bars, with the peril of a fatal fall looming beneath. The challenge is expected to demand unwavering grip and stamina, where any lapse can lead to deadly consequences.
These speculative games align with the show's signature blend of childhood nostalgia and high-stakes peril, promising to deliver the intense and suspenseful scenarios that have captivated audiences worldwide.
Squid Game season 3: The final chapter
Netflix announced in July 2024 that Squid Game will conclude with its third season, set to premiere in 2025. Fans have speculated that the final chapter might resolve the unfinished competition from season two and uncover the game's darkest secrets.
Season 2 left viewers with several possibilities. Gi-hun, devastated after witnessing the Front Man kill his best friend, may face even greater emotional struggles. Outside the games, Gi-hun and his allies' mission to locate the game’s island could be compromised further, especially with Captain Park's betrayal looming over the group.
Detective Jun-ho's story could also take center stage. His pursuit of the truth about his brother, the Front Man, might lead to revelations about the mastermind's true motives. New alliances and betrayals might shape Gi-hun's final stand against the games. The unresolved arcs, like No-eul's potential redemption and the increasing brutality of the competition, could add depth to the story.
Squid Game's highly anticipated second season premiered on December 26, 2024, on Netflix and is now available for global streaming.
