The Shape of the Triangle, Circle, and Square Masks (9/20)

Throughout Squid Game, the masked guards wear different shapes—triangles, circles, and squares—that signify their respective ranks within the game’s hierarchy. The triangles are the lowest in rank, the circles are middle-tier workers, and the squares are the elite who oversee the entire operation. The clear delineation of roles within the mask system reflects the rigid class structure present in the game itself.
