The Piggy Bank

Item from Squid Game by Hwang Dong-hyuk

A giant transparent piggy bank that hangs from the dormitory ceiling, filling with gold cash every time someone dies — impossible to ignore, impossible to forget.

Also known as: The Prize Pool, The Money Pig

• Each player death adds 100 million won to the pool — 456 players × 100M = 45.6 billion won total
• Transparent and ceiling-mounted — visible from every bunk, impossible to avoid looking at
• The piggy bank makes death profitable and visible — the game's most effective psychological pressure tool
• Digital display shows remaining player count alongside the total — quantifying survival in real-time
