The 6 Legged Pentathalon
Written by Oscar Marchal and Truman Bryant.
With season 2 of Squid games recently released, and how some of the new games are quite confusing, people are searching for rules for the games. Today we will explore the rules of the six legged pentathlon, with its 5 minigames.
The game of the six legged pentathlon consists of you and four other people on a rainbow track, with stations every 10 meters. You and the other members of your team have their legs tied together, making 6 independent legs. At every 10 meter mark line, you must play a minigame. The minigames are: Ddakji, Biseokchigi, Gong-gi, Paengi chigi, and Jegi.
The first game on the list is Ddakji. It is 2 square pieces of origami, one set on the ground, and one in your hand. You have to throw one Ddakji at the other Ddakji, and flip the one on the ground over. One trick is to throw your Ddakji and hit the one on the ground using the flat side of the Ddakji.
Next is Biseokchigi, or “Flying stone”. There is a square stone, and a small “Tombstone” about 5 meters away. The goal is to throw the stone, hit the tombstone, and knock it over.
The 3rd game is Gong-gi, or basically korean knucklebones. Th ere are 5 small round stones, and you pour them on a flat playing surface. You pick up one Gong-gi, toss it into the air, and while it is in the air you grab another stone from the surface. Then, you grab the one in the air. Keep throwing the same stone up and grabbing more stones, until there are none left. You have finished round 1, and it is time to move on to round 2. Take a stone and toss it, but this time you must take 2 stones from the surface. Keep doing this until all stones have been caught. Now, on round 3, you have to grab 3 at a time. When that is done, toss one up and grab one, to have all in your hand. The 4th round is more of the same: toss one stone up, then grab 4 instead of 3. Now, you move on to the final round. Grab all of your stones, toss them all up, and try to catch as many as you can on the back of your hand.
The 4th game is Paengi chigi, a game where there is a top with small grooves. You wind a string around the top, and the string should be inside the grooves. You have to hold one end of the string, and pull back quickly with your dominant hand. The top will spin off of the string, spinning so fast that it balances itself out.
The final game is Jegi, which is extremely similar to the chinese game of Jian-zi. The Jegi is made of a small item like a coin, with many strings attached, similar to a shuttlecock. You have to kick the Jegi up and kick it up again. In Penta, you have to do it five times.

Season three
In some pre-release photographs, we clearly see the original doll from red light, green light, named Yung-Hee. We also see another doll, named Cheol-Su. The two are putting their hands together, and there is also a train road crossing warning sign. This may mean that the players are playing a korean children’s game called “Dong, Dong, Dongdaemun” In the game, two people put their hands together to make a bridge, and they sing a song. The other players have to walk in a circle around the bridge, and they have to go under the bridge when they pass it. The people that form the bridge may stop singing at any time, and you must freeze. If the music stops and you are under the bridge, you are now out. Because of the train crossing sign, we think that a train will come and crush you if you stop under the bridge.
