The second competition ofSquid Game2024is a six-legged pentathlon in which five-player teams must tie their legs together and complete a series of minigames to reach the finish line. Teams that complete the race in five minutes or less proceed to the next round. However, teams that fail to complete the race in time get eliminated from theSquid Game(and their mortal coil).
One of the pentathlon’s most demanding children’s games isBiseokchigi, or ‘Flying Stone.‘In this challenge, one player must knock down a target stone by pelting it with their stone from a set distance. If the thrower fails, the whole team must retrieve their stone, walk back to the starting line, and try again. While the pentathlon version of Biseokchigi is condensed, the full version is a fun and imaginative test of coordination.
How to Win Biseokchigi
InSquid Gameseason 2, episode 4, “Six Legs,“the goal of Biseokchigi is to knock down a stone slab with one of your own. The player must achieve this feat without crossing the starting line. If the player hits the stone while crossing the line, they must retrieve their stone and start over.
The pentathlon version of Biseokchigi is abridged. In the original game, players must use various techniques to hit their opponent’s stone to win. This versiongets played in pairs.
