500 debt-strapped adults from foreign countries were invited to take part in a series of death games based on the popular TV show, “Squid Game”. Unlike the TV show, however, these participants knew the elimination would mean death, and they were not allowed to vote on whether or not to keep the games going.
“All participants are currently asleep on an isolated island,” the mysterious Front Man told reporters, identity concealed due to the many COVID-19 procedures. “The profit made from viewers paying to watch the event will surpass the cost of setting up the game.”
On the official website, the list of six games was released. “The Floor is Lava", played with actual lava, was the first game on the list, followed by “Hide and Seek”, where players would have to remain unseen by guards for 15 minutes. The third game would be 10v10 Dodgeball, with the losing teams eliminated, followed by musical chairs to eliminate all but 16 remaining players.
The fifth game is “Politics and War”, an online nation-simulation game, with a heavy focus on diplomacy. Players must meet the graduation requirements of “The Mortals” alliance within a set turn limit or will be eliminated. Although the fairness and cruelty of this game were heavily debated by the Gamemasters, it was approved. Lastly, the remaining players would face off inserting USBs into computer ports until someone messed up three times.
To buy a ticket to view the games, you can send Rason $1 million, who will DM you with game updates throughout the next week or two (this is a serious deal).
