Squid Game is just one of those shows that everybody recognises. From the scary-looking Red Light, Green Light doll to the iconic green uniforms, it’s got a playful child-like theme going on that you couldn’t mistake for anything else. However, you might not have clocked the huge changes that were made to the original set for season two, which will change the way you view the show. A very clever viewer on Reddit managed to compile all the before and after pictures from this season and last season. These side-by-side comparisons of Squid Game 1 and 2 show how much the set really changed.

I wonder why they changed these around?

If you’re a bit behind on Squid Game lore, there are special messages behind the drawings on the walls in the player room, and a lot of them foreshadow the games to come. Spooky!
