All twelve games and what each one demands
Tips
Octopus Game rotates through twelve different challenges. Failing any single one sends you out of the round, so a rough mental map of each game's danger is worth building early.
- Red Light Green Light — freeze completely the instant red appears; even a tiny drift counts as movement and eliminates you.
- Honeycomb — carve your cookie shape without cracking it; rushing is the main reason players break theirs.
- Mingle — teamwork is the deciding factor here.
- Pentathlon — you must complete all five events inside this one stage to survive.
- Keys and Knives — players split into hiders and seekers, and you need to win on whichever side you land.
- Lights Out — defend yourself through the darkness until morning to clear the stage.
- Rebellion — a special mode where players split into guards and rebels; guards earn bonus pay for stopping the uprising, and rebels split the prize if they win.
- Glass Bridge — watch what happens to the players ahead of you before stepping on a panel.
- Jump Rope — dodge the rope and clear the bridge to survive.
- Squid Game — the final showdown; win this and the round is yours.
- Sky Squid Game — survive alongside your group, though the prize money is divided among everyone who makes it.
- Rock, Paper, Scissors, Minus One — a special game mode.
Honeycomb badge details
Summary
Most games award one badge for completing them, but Honeycomb is the exception. The shape you pick decides which badge you can earn.
