Squid Game winners in chronological order

Squid Game isn’t a nascent concept in the world of the show – it’s been going on for decades, so here’s a breakdown of all the known winners in the canon, in chronological order.

The series, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, revolves around a secretive contest in South Korea that pits 456 people of all shapes, sizes, and ages, most of whom are in debt, against each other in a series of challenges like Red Light Green Light and the titular playground game. There’s just one condition: if you don’t win, you die.

The concept tapped into the zeitgeist with unprecedented scale, overtaking Stranger Things to become Netflix’s biggest original show of all time. The main series has finished following Season 3’s debut in June 2025, but there might still be more to come.

You may not have been aware that Squid Game – the fictional version that is, with the murders, violence, and whatnot – has been on the go for quite some time. So, here are all the winners we know about following the show’s conclusion.

Squid Game: All known winners

There have been 37 Squid Games in the show’s canon, the last of which was won by Kim Jun-hee’s baby.

Below, we’ve listed every Squid Game and its winner, with gaps left for those that haven’t been confirmed.

Jun-hee’s baby was born during the Hide and Seek game. Gi-hun swore to protect her and the baby, and while he was able to carry the baby across the bridge in Jump Rope, Jun-hee was unable to cross due to a broken ankle, so she voluntarily stepped off the platform to her death.

At the behest of the VIPs, the baby became an official player, taking on her mother’s number (222). Gi-hun protected the baby all the way to the final game, even managing to fight off the baby’s father, Lee Myung-gi, who was trying to kill her to win. Only one player could survive the final game, so Gi-hun committed suicide to ensure she was the sole winner.

Then, the Frontman delivered the baby to his brother, Jun-ho, along with a credit card containing the prize money.

While it has been left open-ended, it appears the Korean Squid Games ended with the 37th game. The island has been blown up after being discovered by the Coast Guard, and In-ho escaped to America, but there’s always a chance they’ll rebuild on another island.

Plus, it appears there are several other Squid Games spread across the globe. In the original series, the VIPs mention that the contest in South Korea is their favorite, suggesting that there may be other versions in different countries. Then, at the end of Season 3, we see Cate Blanchett play an American recruiter in LA, potentially setting up a US spin-off.
