This game is a game where you choose one of the shapes of a circle, triangle, star, and umbrella, and receive candy in the shape that fits the shape, and keep the candy intact. In my personal opinion, I wonder if there is a game as scary as this game because this game is just 'luck'. If someone asks if this game is like a real game, of course they will answer yes. People who has successful life also says they were lucky. I want to believe that I live my life with the effort of 99% luck of 1% luck, but we all feel how much luck is affected by life.

Of course, the triangle is the easiest in this game. One question arises here. The front man emphasized 'equality' in this game. But why did he also test the participants' 'luck'? Obviously, the main of this game is based on luck that needs to be picked well. However, if you look at the process of the game, you can find 'wisdom'. When we had some problems since we were young, we used to share solutions with our friends and overcome them together rather than solving them alone. In this game, participants were also able to pass this game together in several ways. Other games were made to fall because there was an order or a team match, but the second game was passed by everyone if they have wisdom.

Claw crane game appears before the squid game begins. Ki-hoon challenges a claw machine to present a doll to his daughter. However, as he keeps failing, the child next to him helps him. The child who appeared at that time had the wisdom to pull out dolls more easily than others, and teach his skills. "Claw crane game" and "sugar honeycomb" is a test of luck, but also a test of the possibility of winning the game together by gathering wisdom. If you melted sugar with your tongue or shared fire, everyone could pass through. Many people succeeded in the second-stage game, but the real winner is hosting people. With 79 out of 187 eliminated, 108 will now participate in the third game.

Before moving on to the third game, problems arise in the accommodation where the participants stay. Power is a very fundamental problem that people who has power(physically) wants to steal weak people. This problem is not serious in society. This is because there is a thing called 'law'. But in series, this is the moment when everyone felt that the law did not exist in there. 'Ki-hun' shouts that 'Deok-su' killed a person and this is not part of game, but the dead are recognized as eliminated and the prize money goes up. Killing people with force has also became a game. In that sense, this hidden game is advantageous to the strong people and the weak people die. However, there is a hidden meaning in this game as well. When the lights went out, participants became allies or enemies. If you doubt, you die and if you trust, you win. In other words, it is a game that uses power, but overcoming it is 'belief'. But trusting people is almost impossible because each participant participated in the game to get money.

"People trust people not because they're trustworthy. is because they have no place to lean on".

If you don't achieve it with a goal, it may be easier to lose the game. I think war in the dark is a difficult game because it is not distinguished who is allies and enemies. Eventually, participants who fail to get reliable allies or protect themselves with their own strength die from participants who have physical power. Deoksu, the survivor of this game, survived the game with 'power' but failed to gain 'belief' so the game continues to make him anxious.
