Background
Before the rules are given, players pick one of four shapes, a circle, a triangle, a star or an umbrella, from doors in a playground-themed arena. Breaking the shape or running out of time means being shot. Kang Sae-byeok glimpses workers melting sugar and Cho Sang-woo guesses the game, but he keeps it from his team and chooses the easy triangle. Gi-hun ends up with the hardest shape, the umbrella, and survives by licking the back of the wafer to soften it. Han Mi-nyeo helps Jang Deok-su with a smuggled lighter. Player 119 attacks the guards and forces one to unmask before shooting himself, and the Front Man executes the unmasked guard. Dalgona is a real Korean street candy, and the show's version made it famous worldwide.
