You've played these games before. You've just never played them for stakes.
Six rounds, elimination after each one. It starts friendly. Somewhere around round three, during lagori, a 34-year-old product manager will dive onto concrete to save their team and the mood will change permanently.
There are no squid-game costumes and nobody dies. There is a trophy, a leaderboard, and a champion whose name goes on our wall. That has proven to be enough.
How it works
- 01
Six rounds, six games
Pithoo · Lagori · Gilli Danda · Kancha · Langdi · Chor Police. The final round changes every time and is never announced.
- 02
Elimination is real
You go out, you go to the stands. The stands get loud. Being eliminated early is its own kind of fun.
- 03
Teams are drawn, not chosen
You will be separated from your friends in round one. This is deliberate and we will not be taking feedback on it.
- 04
One champion
Individual, not team. Somebody walks out of there insufferable.
