We are not horses, we are humans.... and humans are...
Seong Gi-hun's last line before he sacrifices himself to save Kim Jun-hee's baby in "Humans Are..."
Sky Squid Game (고공 오징어 게임 Gogong Ojingeo Geim?) is the sixth and final game of the 37th Squid Game. Players play this game up on three tall towers in the shape of a square, triangle, and circle. To start the game on each platform, a player must step on a button on the platform. When the game starts, players have 15 minutes to eliminate at least 1 player. After 15 minutes have passed and 1 or more players have been eliminated, a bridge will appear, letting the remaining players to go to the adjacent tower. If the time runs out and no-one has been eliminated, then all remaining players will be killed. If a player is eliminated before the button on a platform is pressed, this elimination will not count.
Plot[]
Round 1 - Square[]
In the first round of the game, players begin on the Square shape. The players must eliminate 1 or more players to continue to the Triangle shape. After discussions between the Group (players 100, 333, 336, 203, 353 and 039), Lee Myung-gi (Player 333) eliminates Park Min-su (Player 125). Player 333 stares down at the bottom, and sees Player 125's corpse. The remainder of the time elapses, and the first round concludes. A bridge to the triangle shape and the second round appears.
Round 2 - Triangle[]
In the second round of the game, players have now reached the triangle shape. The Group decide they would like to eliminate Kim Jun-hee's baby (Player 222) from the game, however they understand that Seong Gi-hun (Player 456) is holding the baby and therefore, they must be separated before the Group may continue to the next game, understanding that the elimination of more than one player will result in one of the Group being eliminated.
In an attempt to separate Players 222 and 456, the Group tie their suits together and form a line (for protection) whilst Player 333 holds the metal rod given to the Players on each shape. Player 336 (Lee Seung-won) attacks Player 456 after he disagrees with the Group's fake proposal to draw lots to decide the eliminated player for the round. Player 456 withdraws the knife given to him by the frontman the night before and attempts to attack Player 336. Player 333 (Lee Myung-gi) asks Player 456 to move, which he does, before pushing Player 336 off the shape.
After this, Player 333 reveals that Player 222 is his daughter. The Group are shocked and are disappointed in his betrayal and failure to inform the Group sooner. Some major participants of the Group do not believe him. The remaining members of the Group (excluding Player 333, who has decided to alliance with player 456) ask to draw lots officially to decide who shall be eliminated on the circle shape. The Group attack Player 039 next, proposing him as a sacrifice for the next round, which Gi-hun declines. Players 333 and 456 starts to eliminate all remaining participants through various methods. Player 333 kicks Player 353 off the shape using the metal rod, while Player 203 attempts to attack Player 456, but gets killed whilst doing so. Once 353 and 203 were killed, the group turns to a frightened Im Jeong-dae (Player 100). Player 100 attempts to distract 333 and 456 from murdering him and turns to an injured Player 039. Player 100 attempts to convince Player 333 and 456 to not kill him, and bribes them with 11.4 billion won, telling the both of them that they could share the winnings. Player 333 disagrees and mentions that they could earn 15.2 billion won without Player 100's appearance.
Without hesitation, Player 333 shoves the metal rod into Player 100, causing him to fall to his death. Player 039 then commits suicide. The second round comes to an end, and the bridge to the circle shape appears with just 3 players remaining.
Round 3 - Circle[]
In the third round of the game, the remaining three players—333, 222, and 456—have reached the circle shape. This is the final round, and one of the three players must be eliminated for the round to continue. Player 333, holding the rod from the third shape, shouts at Player 456 and forces him to leave his child on the bridge between the triangle and circle shapes. He then moves further and further away from the third round. Armed with the knife from the evening before, Player 456 and Player 333 fight on the circle shape in the third round. Both players fall from the side of the shape. Player 456 holds on from above, allowing Player 333 to hold on to his arm facing downwards. Player 333 falls to the bottom and is eliminated. Player 456 climbs back up, however the button has not been pressed yet so Player 333's death does not count. Alone with Player 222, Player 456 presses the button and after spending most of his time holding the baby Player 456 turns backwards and states, “We are not horses. We are humans. And humans are...”. He then falls backwards off the shape and commits an altruistic suicide, allowing Player 222 to be the winner of the game.

Trivia[]
- With an elimination rate of 88.9%, this game has the highest death rate percentage among all other games in the series.
- The Six-Legged Pentathlon and Sky Squid Game are the only games with original names.
- Sky Squid Game is somewhat similar to the traditional Squid Game:
- Both games are watched by the VIPs from their lounge.
- Players would have to push someone out of the game zone (the squid arena in 2020 and platforms in 2024).
- Unlike the original game, Squid Game doesn't use objects to track players' progress. Squid Game takes place on the ground, while Sky Squid Game takes place on high ground.
- Prior to the game the remaining players were given the hint that only a minimum of three players could possibly be eliminated, and that they would get to decide who that would be. This was to provide incentive to the players to not end the games by vote despite already having accumulated a significant portion of money.
