<h2>Red Light, Green Light Game</h2>
<p>Known by different names worldwide, &#8216;Red Light, Green Light&#8217; is the first dangerous game that the participants encounter in the series. Following is the description of the game –</p>
<p>An ideal game for small kids, &#8216;Red Light, Green light&#8217; involves running and attention. The kids are made to stand in a line. A person who is responsible for the gameplay calls &#8220;Green Light&#8221; and &#8220;Red Light&#8221; spontaneously at will. When she says Green Light, the kids should run towards the other line. And they must stop immediately as soon as she says Red Light. If someone still keeps moving at Red Light, that kid will be out. Whoever passes through the finishing line wins.</p>
<p>But in Squid Game, the participants are adults, and out means death.</p>

<h2>Squid Game season 2</h2>
<p>As per <strong><a href="https://star.ytn.co.kr/_sn/0117_202108230938406667">YTN</a></strong>, the director originally thought about the idea more than a decade ago. &#8220;In 2008, while reading a comic book about people who fell into extreme games, he came up with the idea of ​​&#8217;the most Korean survival film,&#8217; between the play of memories he enjoyed as a child and the modern people who are pushed into limitless competition as adults.&#8221;</p>
<p>A second season seems inevitable with the <strong>buzz</strong> that Squid Game has captured within a few days of release. Although no official announcement has been made yet, we can expect one soon.</p>
