## Squid Game Season 3: Fan Theories Predict Terrifying New Children’s Games
Squid Game season 2 concludes with the games far from over, leaving fans to speculate wildly about the deadly children’s games awaiting Seong Gi-hun and the surviving players in season 3. While the release date remains unknown, the anticipation is fueling a frenzy of creative theories. Given the three games featured in season 1, many predict a similar number for the next installment.
One prominent theory centers around a perilous variation of monkey bars. Reddit and TikTok users have highlighted stick figures depicted on the players’ quarters walls in season 2, resembling figures swinging on monkey bars. Considering the fatal heights involved in season 1’s tug-of-war and glass bridge games, a deadly monkey bar challenge—requiring prolonged hanging or knocking opponents off—seems a plausible addition.
Another game, seemingly inspired by imagery on the season 2 walls, is a twisted version of chess or checkers. This theory posits players as the game pieces, with Gi-hun commanding one side and the Front Man the other. The fatal twist? Elimination from the board equates to death. This sets up a compelling moral dilemma for Gi-hun, forced to balance survival with minimizing casualties, against the Front Man’s desire for maximum elimination.
The mid-credits scene of season 2 provides the most intriguing clue. A railroad crossing featuring red and green lights, alongside the iconic Red Light, Green Light doll and a new, unseen boy doll, has sparked debate. TikToker MidwestMarvelGuy suggests two possibilities: a twisted Trolley Problem scenario, punishing players involved in the rebellion, or a game called *Dong Dong Dong Dae-mun*. This Korean children’s game involves an arch formed by two children, under which others run while a rhyme is sung. The arch collapses at the rhyme’s end, eliminating those caught within. The addition of the boy robot in the scene suggests these robots might act as gatekeepers in a *Dong Dong Dong Dae-mun* adaptation, their lights signaling the game’s rhythm.
These fan theories paint a terrifying picture for the next season. Whether these predictions hold true or not, one thing is certain: Squid Game season 3 promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The anticipation is palpable as fans eagerly await the next chapter in this thrilling and brutal series.
