"Squid Game" has taken the world by storm and become the number one show on Netflix. One of the aspects that fans have loved about the series is its terrifying games that make the viewing experience worthwhile.
But out of the six games it has, two made a mark in the minds of many-the Tug of War and the Honeycomb Candy Game. So, one YouTuber cannot help but try if Oh Il-nam or Player No. 1's tug-of-war strategy is effective.
On his YouTube channel, Jin Yong Jin shared a video, titled "Can the tug-of-war strategy in the 'squid game' actually work?" He invited two groups of people to see if the weaker team could beat a powerful group using Il-nam's move, per AllKpop.
The first group was called Money Game and it was composed of two women, representing Seong Gi-hun's team. Alternatively, their opponent was called Fake Men.
Just like what Player No. 1 advised, Money Game pulled the rope together with full force, laying 90 degrees. However, it was deemed ineffective.
So, the YouTuber concluded it was impossible for a team with one elderly man and three women to win against an all-powerful team. The group also tried Cho Sang-woo's suggestion in "Squid Game," but that, too, failed.
However, Fake Men admitted they were taken aback by the powerful force that Money Game gave when they used Player No. 1's advice. But, it was still not enough to win over a group of special force soldiers.
Meanwhile, another game that went viral was the Honeycomb Candy Game, per Polygon. Who would have thought eating Korean Ppogi could be this dangerous?
Instead of being afraid of a cavity or a tummy ache, players feared for their lives. Each player received a tin can with a honeycombed stamped with the shape they chose; circle, triangle, star and umbrella.
They only had 10 minutes to remove the shape from the honeycomb without any break to survive. Players who failed to do this would die. Though it looked easy, the show proved it was not.
Add to that the tension that a masked man, wearing a pink jumpsuit, with a gun in hand was looking after them, ready to shot made things all the more difficult. Anyhow, it seems like no one has tried yet if Seong Gi-hu's strategy to lick the back of the candy to remove the shape is effective or not.
