In a creative nod to the eagerly awaited release of Squid Game Season 2, Google Search has introduced an engaging Easter egg for fans of the series. Simply type "squid game" into your browser on either desktop or mobile, and at the bottom of the results, you'll discover the show's signature invitation card. By clicking on it, you'll be immersed in a full-screen rendition of the infamous "Red Light, Green Light" game, complete with the haunting soundtrack that fans have come to recognize. This interactive feature invites players to control six characters reminiscent of those in the show, navigating the tension-filled game. The challenge lies in moving forward only when the robotic doll, Younghee, isn't facing you—stopping in place when she turns around. If caught moving, your character is eliminated, though thankfully, Google's version steers clear of the show's more intense violence.Experience the thrill of Squid Game's "Red Light, Green Light" now on Google Search. | Images credit — PhoneArena
This Easter egg serves as a delightful distraction while fans anticipate binge-watching the new season, which premiered on December 26, 2024. Since its debut in 2021, Squid Game has captivated audiences worldwide, giving rise to a plethora of memes, artwork, and merchandise. As the narrative continues, viewers will follow the protagonist as he copes with the haunting memories of his past. No need for spoilers—it's worth noting that a third and final season is in the works for 2025. In my opinion, Easter eggs like this one add an enjoyable layer to the user experience. It's a testament to Google's awareness of pop culture trends and its ability to engage users creatively. I'm personally excited to try out the Squid Game Easter egg and see if I can successfully navigate the challenge of "Red Light, Green Light."
