Squid Game mania is back after the second season was released on December 26 – and Google has dropped a fun Easter egg.

Google has released their own little game. based on the classic scene from the first season where contestants play ‘Red Light, Green Light’.

If you search ‘squid game’ or ‘red light, green light’ on the search engine, an invitation card will appear on your screen.

A mini-game featuring creepy schoolgirl Younghee allows you to play the schoolyard game on Google.

There are stop-and-go buttons which allow you to move forward or pause when she yells ‘red light!’.

Of course, Red Light Green Light makes a return in the second season, with that same creepy oversized doll scanning to check which players have moved when it’s turned around, and having them shot to death if they do.

The South Korean dystopian thriller series first hit screens in 2021, quickly shooting up the charts and becoming the streaming service’s most-watched series.

Now, after much anticipation and a three-year wait, fans have finally got to tune into seven new episodes.

This season follows champion Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) returning to play the life-or-death game again three years later in an attempt to seek revenge for the lives lost.

In its review of the second season, Metro wrote it had ‘jaw-dropping twists and turns’ and would ‘definitely blow audiences away once again’.

Last year director Hwang Dong-hyuk admitted while he had ‘a lot on my shoulders’ he would make sure the new episodes were ‘worth the wait’.
