9 'Squid Game' Challenges That Totally Would Have Been Played If It Had Been In Canada

Red Rover

Red Rover, Red Rover, send them on over! Can you break the other team's chain to capture two of their players for your own team? Or will you fail and join the other team?

This schoolyard classic ends when all players end up on one side, but the Squid Game version would most probably result in death.

Snowball Fight

For many months of the year (depending on where you live), snowball fights are a staple activity of any schoolyard. You can imagine that if this game was played on Squid Game and you got hit by a snowball, it would ultimately be the end.

Honeycomb Challenge

In Squid Game, one of the challenges is to carve out whatever design is marked within the honeycomb. If it cracks, you are eliminated. You only have 15 minutes to complete the challenge.

Imagine being faced with this map of Nunavut!

Colouring Within The Lines

If you went to elementary school in Canada, you probably coloured in a map of the country at least once and you can appreciate the difficulty — especially Nunavut's islands.

Imagine this in Squid Game — if you go outside the lines, that's it. No pressure!

Musical Chairs

Friendships get put to one side when musical chairs are involved. Wait until the music stops and find a chair to sit on. But if you're left standing, you're eliminated.

Foursquare

Don't let the ball bounce on the line or you're out! Imagine how sweaty your palms would be, and how intense the game would be, if your mistake was fatal.

Jenga

It's the ultimate test of nerve and shaky hands — but could you hold your nerve if your life was on the line?

Kickball

It's not baseball, softball or soccer — it's all three! But imagine the pressure of reaching the home plate and avoiding all their outfielders trying to catch the ball.

Yahtzee!

Did you know this game was invented by a wealthy Canadian couple in 1954? Players take turns rolling five dice and the phrase "Yahtzee!" is shouted when all five land on the same number.
