Squid Game Season 2 delivered mind-blowing twists, shocking betrayals, and high-stakes drama. But with so much going on, fans were left with countless unanswered questions. As we eagerly await Season 3, here are the biggest mysteries that need to be solved.
1. How Are the Guards Recruited?
We’ve seen how players are selected, but how do the masked guards get chosen? Are they desperate individuals like the contestants, or is there a more sinister system at play? Do they also go through a brutal initiation? Season 3 needs to shed light on this secretive process.
2. Who Is Running the Games While In-ho Is Playing?
With the Front Man, Hwang In-ho, participating in the games under a disguise, someone else has to be overseeing the operation. A mysterious black-clad figure appears to be calling the shots—who are they, and what’s their connection to the Front Man?
3. Are There Squid Games in Other Countries?
With the scale and sophistication of the operation, it seems unlikely that Squid Game is limited to just South Korea. Could there be similar deadly competitions happening worldwide? If so, could we see a crossover or an international tournament?
4. Who Are the Previous Winners?
We know there have been over 30 Squid Games, but what happened to past winners? Did they receive their prize and live normal lives, or were they forced into the game’s corrupt system as VIPs or staff? Could Gi-hun have met the same fate had he left on that plane?
5. Who Will Become the Next Front Man?
In-ho’s rule is being threatened by a player revolt. If he is overthrown or steps down, who will take his place? Will someone unexpected rise to power, or could Gi-hun himself be forced into a leadership role?
6. What Will Happen to Player 222’s Baby?
One of the most heartbreaking storylines of Season 2 was Player 222, a pregnant contestant fighting for survival. With the deadly odds stacked against her, could she be the sole survivor? And if she does make it out, what kind of life awaits her and her child?
7. Will Shooter 011 Be Reunited with Her Daughter?
Shooter 011 has one goal: to reunite with her daughter in North Korea. Despite being a formidable assassin, her desperation for money drives her to compete in Squid Game. Will she finally get the chance to reunite with her child, or will her mission end in tragedy?
8. What Will Happen to the Girl in the Strawberry Hat?
Player 246 entered the game to save his sick daughter, the little girl in the strawberry hat. But after the player revolt, his fate remains uncertain. While he was seemingly shot some believe he still alive. If not, who will care for his daughter?
9. Will Jun-ho and His Brother Reconcile?
Jun-ho has been hunting his brother, the Front Man, for two seasons. Despite In-ho’s cold and ruthless nature, could there still be hope for a reconciliation? Or is their bond beyond repair?
10. Will Gi-hun Ever See His Daughter Again?
Gi-hun’s obsession with stopping the games has kept him from his daughter, who was a major part of Season 1 but barely mentioned in Season 2. Will he ever reunite with her, or has he sacrificed everything for his mission?
With so many unanswered questions, Season 3 of Squid Game has a lot to deliver. Until then, fans can only speculate—and hope for the most epic season yet!
