6 Games to Play While You Wait for Squid Game Season 3
From twisted social experiments to fast-paced death matches, these six games will scratch that Squid Game itch in all the best (and worst) ways.
1. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
If you loved Squid Game 's psychological mind games, Danganronpa V3 is a perfect fit. In this visual novel-meets-murder mystery, a group of high school students are trapped and forced to kill each other to escape—sound familiar? Twists, betrayals, and courtroom drama make this a darkly addictive playthrough.
2. Mortal Kombat
Sometimes, you just want the raw brutality that Squid Game so often teases—and Mortal Kombat delivers in spades. Its over-the-top fatalities, epic character roster, and tournament-style structure align well with the do-or-die mechanics of the Netflix hit. Plus, the stakes? Always fatal.
3. The Last of Us Part I
For those who connected with the emotional depth behind Squid Game 's violent façade, The Last of Us Part I offers a gripping, character-driven survival story. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it's about trust, loss, and what people will do to survive—key themes in Squid Game.
4. Fortnite
Hear us out—while Fortnite may not have the bleak tone of Squid Game, it mirrors the battle royale format. With its constantly shifting rules, shrinking zones, and everyone-for-themselves setup, Fortnite is the colorful, chaotic cousin of Squid Game 's more brutal games.
5. We Happy Few
Like the eerie, dystopian vibe of the Squid Game facilities? We Happy Few drops you into a drug-controlled society where conformity is enforced, and rebellion is dangerous. Expect unsettling visuals, survival mechanics, and a creeping sense of unease that fans of the show will appreciate.
6. Deathloop
Much like the layered structure of Squid Game, Deathloop offers a mind-bending challenge: you're trapped in a time loop with eight targets to eliminate before midnight. Stealth, strategy, and a race against time make this one a cerebral thrill, perfect for fans who love to unravel mysteries.
Whether you're here for the survival tension, the emotional unraveling, or the stylish dystopia, these six games channel the Squid Game spirit in fascinating ways. Dive in, gear up, and may the odds be ever in your favor—until Season 3 hits your screen.

Jollibee issues statement after Burger Blowout raffle draw controversy in Philippines
Fast food chain Jollibee has issued a statement after a controversy related to its raffle draw promotions. According to Philippine media outlets, netizens voiced concerns over week 3 of the Burger Blowout draw, questioning if the names of the apparent winners were fake or AI-generated. Jollibee said they would be temporarily postponing the draws. It said they are "currently reviewing the matter" and working closely with Philippines' Department of Trade and Industry. However, this "will not affect previously declared legitimate winners," it added in the statement. The business also reminded consumers to refrain from purchasing tickets to the show related to the promotion, as they are not for sale. Jollibee Burger Blowout promotions The draw, held in the Philippines, allows Jollibee customers to enter an e-raffle by purchasing a Jollibee x Coke Studio Burger Blowout Meal (Yumburger, Cheesy Yumburger, or Double Cheesy Yumburger with Fries & Coke). Each meal gives purchasers one raffle entry, while the double cheesy yumburger meal gives two entries. Customers can then scan a QR code for registering at the promotion website, and a second QR code allowing users to claim their e-raffle entries. Upon registration in the promo site, customers will be asked to provide the following information: First name, last name, email address, contact number, mailing address. The prizes offered are two Coke Studio Live concert tickets each for 1,750 winners. Meanwhile, 68,250 winners will each receive Jollibee products.
