It's like what we played on field trips where they called a number and we formed groups by hugging.

Park Jung-bae in "One More Game"

Mingle was the third game of the 2024 Squid Game. Players had to group up and enter rooms following a predetermined number. If players don't manage to make it into the rooms in time or if a room has less or more than it's supposed to have, they will be eliminated.

Throughout the game, players become desperate to form teams and reach a room before time runs out, leading to players teaming up and betraying each other to survive. Notable eliminations include Player 256, Player 095 and Player 343.

Game information

Players enter the game.

All players are required to step onto the platform in the center of the arena. Once the game begins, the platform will spin accompanied by the song Round and Round. Shortly after, the platform and music will stop and a number will be called out. Players must then form a group of that specific number within 30 seconds.

Afterward, all players must enter one of the surrounding rooms and close the door within the given time in order to proceed. All doors will automatically lock once 30 seconds have passed. Any players that fail to enter a room within the time limit will be eliminated, as will any players in a room that does not contain the required number.

Players rushing to the doors with groups of 2.

The game took place in a circular arena with a central platform that resembles a carousel, featuring horse sculptures. The arena is surrounded by a series of colorful, numberes doors, evenly spaced along the walls, which are decorated with lights, bows, and intricate patterns, giving a carnival-like atmosphere. To ensure fairness and integrity, the rooms contain cameras allowing the square guards in a control room to verify and confirm that the room contains the required number of people. After the number is called out, the lights go darker and flick faster, warning the players to go to the rooms immediately with the required number of people.

Lyrics in Korean

Round and Round, the song that plays when the carousel is spinning.

둥글게 둥글게 (dung-geulge dung-geugle)

둥글게 둥글게 (dung-geugle dung-geugle)

빙글빙글 돌아가며 춤을 춥시다 (bing-geulbing-geul dol-agamyeo chum-eul chubsida)

손뼉을 치면서 (sonppyeog-eul chimyeonseo)

노래를 부르며 (nolaeleul buleumyeo)

랄라랄라 즐거웁게 춤추자 (lallalalla jeulgeoubge chumchuja)

링가 링가링가 링가 링가링 (ling-ga ling-galing-ga ling-ga ling-galing)

링가 링가링가 링가 링가링 (ling-ga ling-galing-ga ling-ga ling-galing)

손에 손을 잡고 모두 다 함께 (son-e son-eul jabgo modu da hamkke)

즐거웁게 뛰어봅시다 (jeulgeoubge ttwieobobsida)

Trivia

• To be fair, the game has rooms, rather than hugging each other in a specific number of groups, so the game will be harder.
• It is impossible for all players to win in this game. It's the first game in 2024 Squid Game not to allow so.
• The death count in the final round seems to have multiple errors, as it exceeds the supposed death count for that round.
• Fans speculate that Hwang In-ho didn't actually find a team after splitting up in Round 2 and just used his position of the Front Man in order to not be eliminated.
• It is the only game in which teams must form up as soon as it starts and not before the game begins.
• Not counting Red Light, Green Light from Season 1, it is the game with the highest number of deaths in the entire series, with 155 players eliminated.
• The room where Hwang In-ho kills Sim Jae-seok is the same room where Player 313, Player 050 and Player 238 were killed by a soldier for failing to bring the required amount of people in a room.
