Special Round 1

The Special Game (Korean: 스페셜 게임) is the official name for the mass rioting that takes place between players in the dormitory between rounds. Though not part of the six game line-up, these are deliberately planned by the staff to "weed out the weakest".

Special Games occurred in the games in 2020 and 2024.

Player techniques[]

Since this game was a free-for-all and there were no rules, players had many ways to survive or eliminate each other.

  • Kang Sae-byeok used a pocket knife she smuggled in.
  • Jang Deok-su stabbed players with his broken bottle, and several other players used them as weapons as well.
  • Numerous players used metal bars taken from the bunk bed frames as weapons and toppled beds over in order to kill or injure players on or near them.
  • Naked hands can also be used, as player 224 snapped player 328's neck and killed her.
  • Players used jackets, bedsheets, and pillows to strangle or smother one another to death.
  • Some participants such as Oh Il-nam either climbed to higher bunks or hid underneath beds and other structures in order to avoid being killed.
  • Some Team O members used forks to stab Team X members to death, such as Nam-gyu and Kim Gi-min.
