1. When will it be released in Japan? Behind the scenes of the global simultaneous release

The Netflix original "Squid Game 3" will begin streaming at midnight Pacific Standard Time (PST) in California, USA, where the company's headquarters are located. Since there is a 17-hour time difference between Japan and PST, the series will be released at exactly 4:00 PM on Friday, June 27th in Japan.

 

 

The "10-second countdown" began in the relaxed afternoon, and the hashtag "#SquidGame3" quickly became a trend on social media. Before watching, don't forget to update your Netflix app and browser to the latest version, and we recommend setting up Watch Party and preparing a group to watch with friends in advance.

 

 

 

 

2. Season 3 story development: A new battle begins in a coffin

Soon after the fierce battle of Season 2, Song Ki-hoon sets foot on the secret island once again. Although he won the previous episode, he returns with anger towards the death of his teammates and the management in his heart. He is carried to the hall in a coffin and wakes up quietly there. The scene where he crawls out of the coffin symbolizes "death" and instantly expresses the pain he feels after surviving. From then on, he risks his own life to throw himself into the battle to completely destroy the management.

 

 

In this season, the themes of human "desire" and "forgiveness" are explored more deeply, and the biggest highlight is how Ki-hoon is torn between revenge and redemption. Detective Hwang Jun-ho and Yeong-hee, who made tragic sacrifices in the previous season, and the mysterious new character "Chul-soo" will disrupt the story, creating a series of breathtaking developments.

 

 

 

 

3. List of the “worst games ever” and their rules

Season 3 brings you the cruelest and most complex game yet. Here are the main rules:

 

Knife & Key Gate

 

The first test involves choosing a safe exit from two doors, one shaped like a knife and one shaped like a key. The correct answer is not revealed until just before the start of the show, and if you get it wrong you are immediately eliminated.

 

 

 

 

Capsule distribution team division

 

The game involves spinning a red or blue gumball and drawing the correct answer. Depending on the color, the game will branch out, and there are even scenes where parents and children or friends are torn apart.

 

 

 

456 People Real Skipping Rope

 

The film will feature footage of 456 people who were selected from the public taking part in the game. It is a cooperative long rope jumping game, and if even one person fails, everyone is eliminated, giving the audience a taste of the ultimate sense of collective responsibility.

 

 

These games do not simply test physical ability, but also highlight the psychological strategies and fragility of trust between players.
