High school student surviving game & is a classic Japanese movie back in late 90s & early 2000s. A must watch dark thriller psychological movie.

Another survival game that has to do with money. Animal World is a Chinese movie. While the first half of AW is very weird the second half is amazing! In Animal World they play rock, paper, scissors and you have to be strategic about it cause once you run out of the cards that have rock, paper, or scissors on them you're out. (This is like my dumbed-down version of what happens. I can't exactly remember. It's been awhile since I watched it.)

Sound like both are about dead game. Both are a group of people desperate about the money go stuck in no return to play a dangerous game

If you like extremely graphic gore, you will enjoy both the movie and the series. The actors in both are really good.

Both shows are about survival game stories. The main character and it’s friends have different qualities in both shows. In Zero we have a Sherlock Holmes like super Brain and in Squid Game a person like you and me. The games are fun in both and ofc more creative in the Japanese version. Death Game shows and movies have their origin in Japan and they can do it best. If you had fun with the Korean dramas Liar Game or Squid Game then take it to the next level an dive into Japanese game shows. You won’t regret it!

Both are Lord of the Flies esque Survival Games with social commentary.

Both show society as a miniature and interesting way, essentially being an anthropological scifi

Society Game is even further political than SQG, but in both winner gets a large sum of money

Society Game is a variety show though so obviously no killing like in Squid Game lol
