The company also mentioned other Squid game modes, including “Red Light, Green Light.” The game currently has three game modes, including Jailbreak, Hide and seek, and Murder Mystery.

To recall, “Red Light, Green Light” was one of the significant and first games of the deadly Squid Game. Other games included in the web series were Tug of War, Dalgona Candy, Marble Shoot, and the inevitable Squid Game itself. The Silly World has not shared any official news about when all these modes will make their way in the game.

Netflix earlier announced that more than 111 million Netflix households watched Squid Game in the first 28 days after its release and became the “biggest-ever series at launch.” The 111 million mark of the record signifies the number of accounts watched 2-minute count of any episode.

Garena Free Fire recently featured Red Light, Green Light mode, where 50 players wearing the same outfit will have a similar Squid Game web series encounter.
