Google's Squid GameEaster egg is rather straightforward, and decidedly less stressful than the series' life-or-death games. An animated version of Young-hee, the giant doll from Squid Game's Red Light, Green Light game will appear at the top of your screen. Flanked by two masked guards, Young-hee will face a row of six people in green tracksuits along the bottom of the screen. These people will move forward when you press the blue "O" button, and stop when you click the red "X" button.
