Hide and Seek

Item from Squid Game by Hwang Dong-hyuk

Hiders run, seekers hunt — but if a seeker can't find anyone to kill, the seeker dies instead.

Also known as: Seeker Game, The Maze Game

What They Know

Rules: Blue gumball = hider, red = seeker; hiders must escape or hide for 30 minutes; seekers must kill at least one hider or be executed themselves
The seeker penalty creates reluctant killers — even pacifist players must hunt if they draw red
Jun-hee gave birth during this game — assisted by Geum-ja and Hyun-ju while hiding from seekers
The maze is designed for disorientation — sound, light, and corridor layout all create confusion
