What is game 3 in squid game?

In the original Korean survival drama Squid Game (2021), Game 3 is Tug-of-War. The players are divided into teams of ten (though in the show, one team has a member short, making it 9v10). They are taken to a high platform over a pit. The rules are classic tug-of-war: pull the opposing team across the center line to win. The losing team falls to their death. This game is where strategy and teamwork become crucial, as the main characters realize that positioning and technique (like bracing and coordinated pulling) are more important than just raw strength. It's a massive turning point in the season.

Just to clarify, the order is: 1. Red Light, Green Light. 2. Honeycomb (Dalgona). 3. Tug-of-War. 4. Marbles. 5. Glass Stepping Stones. 6. Squid Game (the final duel). So yes, Game 3 is the brutal and physically demanding Tug-of-War on that terrifying raised platform. It's the first team-based game, forcing alliances formed earlier to be put to the ultimate test.
