Player 276

**Player 276** was a Pakistani contestant in the 33rd Squid Game that took place in 2020. He appears in the episode "Stick to the Team", "A Fair World", and "Gganbu" as a member of Seong Gi-hun's team.

## History

Player 276 was in heavy debt while in Pakistan and illegally immigrated to South Korea to try and make a living. However, he was unable to make much money due to his being an illegal immigrant and chose to enter a high-risk competition to win money. After being transported to the island where the Squid Games take place, he woke up in a large room with 455 other people and signed a contract and took his photo before entering the games.

Player 276 managed to survive the first game, Red Light, Green Light, after most of the contestants had been wiped out. When a vote was held to decide if the game should continue, the majority voted no and Player 276 was sent home along with all of the other players. However, when the games resumed, Player 276 returned along with many others.

He managed to survive the second game, Sugar Honeycombs, and the Special Game that took place during the night. For the third game, which was later revealed to be Tug of War, he was recruited by Ali Abdul, who approached him to ask him to join his team, which consisted of Seong Gi-hun, Cho Sang-woo, Han Mi-nyeo, Oh Il-nam, Kang Sae-byeok, Ji-yeong, Player 244 and Player 196. He was able to survive the third game, where his team faced off against Team Five.

### Death

For the fourth game, Player 276 partnered up with Player 021, but it was revealed that the game was Marbles and that players would play against their partners. Player 276 subsequently lost to Player 021 and was eliminated.
