Recently, Google also introduced a game for the much-popular Netflix series Squid Game. The game is available worldwide and can be played on both mobile web browsers and desktops. Here’s how to play it directly in Google Search.
To play the Squid Game mini-game, search for "Squid Game" on Google, which works on both mobile and desktop browsers. A brown rectangle gamepad icon will appear at the bottom of the screen, overlaying the search results. By tapping or clicking on the icon, you’ll begin the game, which mirrors the Red Light, Green Light challenge from the show.
In the game, you control six players in sweat suits using the blue circle to move them forward. The goal is to advance them to the finish line while the doll, Young-Hee, looks away. You can stop the players by clicking the red X before the doll turns around.
If you fail to stop them in time, one player is eliminated and disappears..
