Marbles was the fourth game of the 33rd Squid Game held in 2020. The game involved players choosing one partner with whom they would play a marble game of their choice, with the losers eliminated, and the winners progressed to the next game, Glass Stepping Stones.

39 players entered the game; 22 died and 17 progressed to the next round. Notable eliminations include Player 199, Player 001 and Player 240.

Game Information[]

Marbles is also known as the ball sport. It is when the men go and retrieve the small balls from the big man, then they each hold the balls behind them and each guess how many balls the other person has. The average man has two balls, but maybe your opponent has more. These balls are quite small, but some say that size doesnt matter.

The rules of the game are as follows: "Using your set of ten marbles, play the game of your choice with your partner. The player who manages to take all ten marbles from their partner wins."

Prior to knowing what the game would be, the players had to team up with someone. Afterwards, it was revealed they had to compete against each other.

They were each given a bag with 10 marbles, the game's objective was to gain the other player's 10 marbles through any game of their choice within the 30 minutes given. The player who collected all ten of their partner's marbles won the game, and were escorted out of the game room. The players who had lost their marbles, or failed to complete the game before the time ran out were eliminated.

Mistakes[]

  • While Player 040 and Player 303 are shown partnered up before the fourth game and walking together to their assigned spot, Player 040 is later seen playing and losing against a player with a number ending in ?26. This player and Player 303 are never seen again after the game ends.
  • Player 081 is seen walking with 017 to marbles, but Player 413 is 017's real partner.
  • Players 407 and 043 were partnered in marbles, and 043 as he was announced as eliminated, but he was seen later playing with Player 413.
  • There is an error where more than 39 people are seen in the episode.

Trivia[]

  • There was supposed to be a 40th player, Byeong-gi (111), but he was executed for cheating before the game began.
    • This is the reason Han Mi-nyeo (212) survived this game. Due to the fact there is an odd number of people, she couldn't find a partner and was allowed to pass on to the next game.
  • Even though only 17 people made it to Glass Stepping Stones, 27 people died in this game.
  • Though it is unconfirmed, it is theorized that the Marbles game is completely survivable for all players involved. While the rules state that a player must obtain all ten of their partner's marbles to win, they do not specify that you have to possess all twenty marbles in play, meaning that if two players simply swapped all their marbles with their partner, they would both be winners.
    • This is further reinforced by Oh Il-nam (001) mentioning the concept of gganbu, alluding to the possibility that all players could survive if they shared their marbles, as true gganbu would do.
