Squid Game Logic

Squid Game Logic is the 1st episode of the series of the same name.

Plot
The episode begins in the lobby of Squid Game. Player (Player 456) is sleeping on the very top bunk when he rolls out of bed and hits the ground painfully, waking himself up. He looks around to see many other people, and Veteran (Player 001), who has the very bottom bunk next to where Player landed. They chat, and Player thinks that they are in jail, but Veteran states he's been in jail before and this is too sinister to be one.

A metal door on the other side of the room then opens, and a Square Soldier walks out accompanied by four Circle Soldiers. The Square Soldier introduces everyone to Squid Game USA, explaining due to popular demand they are going global. Players 006 and 007 are angry that they've been kidnapped, demanding to see their families and threatening to call the police. This makes Player realize that the police have to know somehow.

The Square Soldier announces that all of the people in the room were picked for the Game because they have all suffered from financial ruin. The look in 006 and 007's eyes implies they are indeed poor as Player and Veteran tell each other how they ruined their lives - Player bought too many loot boxes using his mom's credit card, while Veteran's horoscope told him to take massive risks. The Square Soldier then announces that everyone will compete in six games over 6 days - at the end, anyone who hasn't been eliminated will receive $38,000,000. Most of the players still want to go home, but Player is excited and thinks it will be easy.

Everyone is brought to the red light green light challenge, and a voice on the loudspeaker explains the rules: when the doll says green light, players can start to move towards the safe zone behind the doll. When it says red light, all players must stop moving or they will be eliminated. To win, players must reach the safe zone within 5 minutes. Player then wishes luck to Noob (Player 002) who is next to him, only to be coldly rejected, as the Front Man who is watching from his office starts the timer.

The doll says green light, and everyone starts running. Player whoops (and is scolded by Noob for treating the scenario like a video game), before the doll says red light and everyone stops. However, Player 006 builds up too much momentum and stumbles. Player chuckles at his misfortune before a gunshot is heard and 006 slumps to the ground. He tries to crawl forward as Player tells him to stop faking and he can try again next year, but another gunshot is heard and 006 is killed. Player freaks out as the Front Man laughs in his office.

Noob tells Player that he cannot back out at this point, directing him towards three players who start panicking and begin banging on the exit door, wanting to get out, and all three are sniped and killed instantly. The doll calls green light, and everyone begins running again. Red light is called, and everyone stops, but Player 083 trips and is killed. Green light is called again, and everyone takes off except for Player, who cannot help but stare at the dead body in shock and fear. Red light is called, and Players 021, 033 and 047 are killed. Veteran, who is using Player 329 as a meat shield, signals to Player and tells him he needs to start moving or he won't make it. Green light is called, and Veteran wishes Player luck before he starts running.

Red light is called, and Player 007, who is front of Player, is killed. Player then looks at the timer, realizing there is only 1 minute left, but doesn't panic and tells himself he can still make it. He begins running, and red light is called. Someone next to Player is killed, and when green light is called the survivors begin to run towards the safe zone as there are only 30 seconds left. Player is about to make it, but the doll calls red light and he loses balance. However, Noob grabs the back of his jumpsuit before he hits the ground, saving him. Player 003 is killed, but when the doll looks at Player and Noob she lets them pass, and calls green light. Noob drops Player and hops over the finish line, and Player gets up and dives into the safe zone seconds before time runs out. The Front Man is impressed.

Player thanks Noob for saving him, but she then tells him to look away. Realizing 9 players have not crossed the finish line in time, Player shuts his eyes as they are all killed. Back in the lobby, Player is scared and sad for all the players who are dead. Veteran tries to cheer Player up by pointing out that they won, but Player states there will be a second game tomorrow and their lives will be on the chopping block again then.

The Square Soldier and Circle Soldiers then go into the room. The Square Soldier announces that he knows a lot of players are scared, so he makes a deal: if the majority of players don't want to play anymore, the show will end and everyone will go home empty-handed. Player is will ing to accept this deal, but Player 329 refuses, saying he wants the money.

A poll stand appears, with a green button for continue and a red button for stop. The contestants with the biggest numbers are first, so Player is first. He chooses stop. Player 329 is next, and he chooses continue. A few hours later, continue is leading by 1 point, and only Noob and Veteran haven't voted. Noob chooses stop, but Veteran decides to take the risk and chooses continue. Player screams "NOOO!!!" as the Square Soldier announces that the game will continue, then tells everyone to get some rest as the episode ends.

Trivia

 * This episode uses the human designs for Player and Veteran that were teased on GameToons's Instagram some time before the episode released.
 * Here, Veteran's astrological sign is revealed to be Cancer. This means that his birthday is somewhere between June 21st and July 22nd.
 * Because Cancer as a star sign is spelled and pronounced the same way as cancer, the disease, Player misunderstands him as saying that he's very ill.
 * According to this episode, Player, Veteran, and Noob are from the United States of America. Notably, Veteran has described himself as a "true blue American crewmate" in Among Us Logic 3.
 * As revealed in the episode description, Player 002 is Noob.
 * When people are zapped in the episode, they poof away into smoke. In the actual Squid Game series, they are realistically shot and bleed. GameToons most likely made this change to keep the episode family-friendly.
 * Veteran's number is 001, implying that he was the first person to abducted.
 * This is the first GameToons episode to not be based on a video game. Squid Game is a TV series.
