Squid Game creator and director Hwang Dong-hyuk sat down in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly and remarked about the upcoming final season:

"In season 1, we had lots of games like Tug of War that really utilized height and the fear that this height gives, but in the case of season 2, we didn't have that element. That is why in season 3, I decided to introduce games that could really infuse fear in people with sheer height."
