Squid Game Party Ideas: Games That Won’t Get You Executed

Whether you go all out and have guests compete for the cash pig, or have a friendly round of Squid Game-inspired games, here’s what you need for a fun-filled party event:

Round One: Red Light, Green Light Doll

There’s no argument that the Red Light, Green Light doll was the creepiest aspect of the show. While you can’t get your hands on the near 15-foot doll, you can display this backdrop for under $20. It can double as a table cloth or party decor as well.

Round Two: Dalgona Honeycomb Candy Kit

Here’s to hoping you don’t get the umbrella. Will Seong Gi-hun’s licking trick really work? These cutters can also be used to make on-theme cookies, charcuterie meat cut-outs or even pancakes. The possibilities are endless with this fun cookie cutter kit.

Round Three: Tug-O-War

For outdoor parties, split up the group into teams for a lighthearted game of tug of war. Preferably played on the ground instead of 33 feet in the air.

Round Four: Marble Set

This crafted set from Etsy is done for you, complete with a drawstring sack and set of marbles. You can also go the DIY route with this colorful 60-piece marble set and 20-piece burlap bag lot from Amazon for under $14 total. Just use a Sharpie to draw the iconic circle, triangle and square shapes.

Round Five: Hopscotch

As an alternative to making your guests fall through glass, use carpet tiles to set up a similar hopscotch pattern. Mark underneath which pieces are “real glass” underneath, so that if a player jumps on it, they “fall through” and the tile is removed.
Of course, the final round of games where players actually play the Squid Game might be too complicated and violent for your fun party.

Squid Game Decorations Ideas

You don’t need to buy a lot to pull off the perfect Squid Game decorations, but a few key elements will keep your party on theme.

Yes, you can pose as the Front Man at your party, but these masks also make easy Squid Game party decorations too. Use it to decorate your main snack table or hang it on the wall paired with streamers in the show’s iconic colors of teal, pink and black. The VIP mask or the four-piece workers’ masks set will also serve as fun decor pieces.
