What happened to Gi Hun? Is he still involved in the games, or is this the end
There is no true end, as was the message delivered in the show. While Gi Hun made the ultimate sacrifice to save Jun Hee's newborn child, it still leaves room for what may unfold in the future. The character's last words on the show, 'We are not horses. We are humans', also matter a lot, relating to how the show's tagline was based on how low humanity can sink.

What happened to the Front Man character in the games?
In Ho is well and alive, as seen in the final moments of the last episode. The Front Man lives and escapes with Jun Hee's baby after ordering the island to be destroyed. While his fate in the show remains a bit of a mystery, one thing is sure that his role is not over yet. After delivering the final box to Seong Gi Hun's daughter in LA, the actor can be seen watching Cate Blanchett, who takes on the role of the next Salesman.
Does anyone survive in the games?
In Ho, The Front Man is one of the main survivors of the game, along with Jun Hee's child. Almost all of the main cast were killed off within the first few episodes, with Hyun Ju's death starting the chain reaction. In the last scene, only Minggy, Gi-Hun, and Jun Hee's baby remain.
Did The Front Man and Gi Hun finally meet?
In Ho had joined the second season as a player, and in the final season, the two finally met as Player 456 and the Front Man. He depicts that he has died in the show; however, he later reveals his true identity.
What about the mastermind of the game?
The mastermind behind the game was originally Oh Il Nam, who is already gone and confirmed to be dead by now. In Ho took over after his death and had been controlling the game till Gi Hun's death, after which the island was destroyed. While this seems to be the end of the games in South Korea, a new chapter may be on the way in the United States. Cate's mysterious character, who is seen playing the infamous game of Ddakji, paves the way for new possibilities.
Are there any 'Easter Eggs' in the show?
There are a couple of things that were portrayed throughout the show that can be counted as 'easter eggs'. The first one is the phrase 'today it's me, tomorrow it will be you', which may directly point towards the fact that there is still a future for the show, even though Gi Hun and everyone else's story comes to an end.
Another phrase in Korean is also seen in the show, ('Beware of people, idiot'), which can be seen as a foreshadowing of the betrayal the fellow characters will be facing from Minggyu (Player 333). An ironic phrase was also written right at the beginning of the show. The words 'safety first' can be seen in the first episode of the final season.
Were the authorities able to find the game? Did Detective Jun Ho succeed?
In short, no, Detective Jun Ho did not succeed in bringing the Squid Games down in season 3. He and No-Eul, made it out safely, with the show ending on the detective receiving Jun Hee's baby and a gold credit card with the winner's amount on it. He had managed to discover that Captain Park was the corrupt insider who was in on the games.
Before Jun Ho could take proper action with the authorities, The Front Man, also known as In Ho, ran away and disappeared, tying up all loose ends on the way out by destroying the island.
What happened to the masked VIPs in the show?
The VIP's in the show managed to escape rather than face the consequences of their horrific decisions. While the ending of their fate remains mostly ambiguous, they're seen sipping on drinks and laughing about, enjoying the player's misery, perfectly showcasing the class and status disparity that divides all.
Will there be a spin-off next?
The creators of 'The
Squid Game
' have time and time again confirmed that season 3 will be the final chapter in the games. On the other hand, the possibilities are endless, as Cate Blanchett's mysterious woman enters the scene, playing the game with people in LA to recruit them. The fate and point of certain characters such as In Ho and No-Eul also remains to be explored, leaving the doors open for something new.
