The Game Will Also Seemingly Have Elements From Red Light, Green Light
Squid Gameseason 3’s trailer only hinted that there would be a jump rope game in the Netflix show’s final installment by giving a few glimpses of what lies ahead. It also showed that the iconic Young-Hee doll would return for the new game but avoided giving away too many details about it. Even season 2’s post-credits scene only gave a glimpse of how a male doll, who is presumably Young-Hee’s brother, will be involved in a new version of the Red Light, Green Light game. However, the true nature of the new game remained a mystery until a season 3 clip confirmed it.
As the above clip confirms in its opening moments,Squid Gameseason 3 will feature a jump rope game in which one side of the rope will be held by Young-Hee while the other one will be in the male doll’s hands. Players will seemingly be expected to stand on a narrow platform while attempting to jump every time the rope sweeps above the ground. The one failing to jump will trip and seemingly fall to their death. The overarching rules of the jump rope game remain unclear, but it might include elements from the deadly Red Light, Green Light game.

Both The Male & Female Dolls Will Be A Part Of The New Jump Rope Game
Squid Game Season 2’s Post Credits Scene Hinted The New Doll’s Appearance
The Young-hee doll has been nightmare fuel since her appearance inSquid Gameseason 1’s “Red Light, Green Light” game. The fact that season 3 is featuring a male version of her with her in a new, twisted take on season 1’s most memorable game highlights how the stakes have never been higher. Even though the new clip clarifies many aspects of the upcoming game inSquid Gameseason 3, there is still an air of mystery around the deadly twists it might include.
According to Korean folklore, the male doll is Young-hee’s brother, Cheol-su. Since the game seemingly combines jump rope with “Red Light, Green Light,“it might include dual tracking, where motion-sensing cameras from both Young-hee and Cheol-su would determine the players' elimination. However, as fun as it may be to predict the nature of the new game fromSquid Gameseason 3, it seems likely that it will still have many unpredictable elements that defy audience expectations.
