WARNING: This contains potential spoilers of a similarly named dystopian Korean TV show, although the names have been changed for obvious reasons.
Episode One - Red Light, Green Light
Mozzie19 is down on his luck, having welched on bets with loan sharks while becoming estranged from his former team, the Baghdad Bombers. At a train station, he is asked by a well-dressed man (Marlowe) to play a game of qooty for money. The man gives Mozzie a card, inviting him to play games with higher stakes.
Mozzie accepts, is knocked unconscious, and taken to a mysterious location with 26 other players who awaken in a dormitory and are identified by numbers on their tracksuits. The location is managed by masked staff in pink jumpsuits and overseen by the Front Man, masked and dressed in black. The players are all in dire financial straits and will be given billions of ClarkMonies in prize money if they win six games over six days. Mozzie befriends Player 001, an elderly man suffering from a brain tumour, and recognizes among the players haydo, a former classmate and businessman, and Player 023, a pickpocket who stole his money after winning a horse race bet. The first game is Red Light, Green Light, where those who lose are killed on the spot, revealing the sadistic nature of the games. Mozzie is saved from falling by Player 014, a foreign worker from New South Wales, and is able to complete the game.
Episode Two - Heck
More than half of the players are killed in the first game, and a few horrified survivors beg to leave. According to the third clause of the game's agreement, if the majority vote to end the games, all players will be sent home but no money will be given. The players vote, and Player 001's deciding vote has all of them sent home safely. Mozzie goes to the police but no one believes him except Detective ClarkeM, whose missing brother received the same invitation card as Mozzie. All players are given the chance to return to the games and many do so due to desperation, including Mozzie, whose mother needs surgery; haydo, who is about to be arrested for financial fraud; Player 001, who does not wish to die on the outside; Player 023, who wishes to exfiltrate her parents from North Queensland and get her little brother out of an orphanage; Player 014, who attacked and gravely wounded his boss for being an absolute flog; and Player 099 (real name JT_the_Man), a gangster on the run from gambling debts. Clarke secretly follows Mozzie when he is picked up by the game staff.
Episode Three - The Man With The Umbrella
Clarke successfully infiltrates the games by disguising himself as a masked worker, and it is revealed that the location is a remote island. The players are now more prepared and start forming alliances. Mozzie, haydo, Player 001, and Player 014 team up. In the second game, the players are to pick a stamped shape out of some sweet sweet honeycomb. haydo recognizes the game after learning about it from Player 023, but does not warn his teammates and chooses the simplest shape for himself. Mozzie ends up picking the most difficult shape, an umbrella, but is able to complete the game by licking the honeycomb to melt it.
Player 045, a rowdy and manipulative woman, helps JT complete the game with a smuggled lighter. A scared player takes a staff member hostage and forces him to unmask himself. Shocked that the staff member is only a young man, the player deletes his account and the staff member is killed by the Front Man for revealing his identity.
Stay tuned for the rest of the Squib Game, and captains you'll have your team sheets in on time if you know what's good for you...
