Is that a...giant carousel?

Squid Game Season 2 is getting closer by the day. We've already had a teaser, and a longer teaser, and now we've got the first official trailer — and it comes with our best glimpse yet at one of the new games Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) will have to survive during his second round in the titular competition.

The shots are only brief, but at a couple of points in the trailer (1:00 and 1:13) we see glimpses of what looks like a giant merry-go-round. All the contestants are gathered on this carousel as it spins slowly around, while on the outskirts of the room multiple coloured doors are visible. In the second shot we hear gunfire, and see a bird's-eye view of the contestants scattering.

Maybe it's something to do with who is facing which door when the carousel stops? We'll find out soon enough.

Squid Game Season 2 arrives Dec. 26 on Netflix.
