What happened in Squid Game season 1?

In South Korea, Seong Gi-hun, a divorced parent and compulsive gambler who resides with his elderly mother, receives an invitation to participate in several kid-friendly games with the possibility of winning a substantial sum of money. Upon accepting the deal, he is led to an unidentified place where he is surrounded by 455 other players who are all experiencing severe financial difficulties.

The Front Man, dressed in a black mask and black uniform, is in charge of overseeing the games, and the participants are required to wear green tracksuits. They are constantly watched over by masked guards in pink jumpsuits. Soon after, the participants learn that losing a game causes them to die, and each death adds ₩100 million to the possible ₩45.6 billion grand prize.

While detective Hwang Jun-ho infiltrates the games as one of the guards in order to locate his missing brother, Gi-hun forms alliances with other players, including his childhood friend Cho Sang-woo and North Korean defector Kang Sae-byeok, in an attempt to survive the psychological and physical twists of the games.
