In a shocking twist, Netflix’s *Squid Game* Season 2 will introduce a new "Participation Trophy Round" where contestants are momentarily rewarded before their brutal elimination. Showrunners say the move is meant to add "a false sense of security" before things take their usual horrifying turn. “We felt it was important to boost morale,” said the game’s masked overlord, polishing a tiny golden trophy labeled *‘You Tried!’* Contestants will reportedly engage in wholesome activities like painting and team-building exercises before realizing they were just selecting their own execution methods. “At least I got a ribbon before I was eliminated,” said one player, clutching his prize moments before the floor opened beneath him. Netflix assures fans that while the new season will be slightly more heartwarming, it will still be "99% soul-crushing despair.”
