People think they’ve worked out what the final Squid Game challenge is and it’s brutal

Squid Game season two ended on a massive cliffhanger, but they did give us a teaser hinting at what’s to come.

Season three is set to arrive on Netflix later in 2025, and it will continue right where they left off as the deadly games carry on.

The show’s creator confirmed that the post-credits scene is a “hint at the most exciting game in season three” – and people have a theory about what it will be.

It opens with the famous Red Light Green Light doll alongside her new male sidekick, which had some convinced the game would revolve around Jack and Jill.

However, the next clip zooms in on a red and green train crossing light that you usually find next to railway tracks.

This has got people thinking that the final game will force the players to lie on two railway tracks as a train approaches them.

Other players will then have to decide which way they want to send the train, choosing who to kill and save.

This is known as The Trolley Problem, a famous thought experiment that asks people to consider sacrificing one person to save a larger number. 

Traditionally, the person is in control of a trolley that is heading towards five people and can divert it onto a side track to kill one person instead.

It was created by British philosopher Philippa Foot in 1967 and is a hypothetical experiment designed to assess a person’s moral judgements.

However, people think Squid Game has changed the concept to involve trains instead and turned it into a real life or death situation.

Bold guess for Squid Game season 3. That game previewed in the ending of season 2 is some kind of play on the trolley problem.

In the first season of Squid Game, the players had to jump onto glass panels and fall to their death for the final game, so anything is possible in season three.

The players themselves having to choose who to kill rather than the guards would be absolutely brutal and exactly what you’d expect from the dystopian thriller.
