I hope @Trigger and @Kolido haven't skipped leg day because their backs are going to be sore this evening from the piggybacks they're providing…

Whilst I'm prepping the reveal let's introduce the third game…
In Boards Squid Game however… we're doing it slightly differently. Those of you (if any) who survive will play
Tug of Wits
Tug of Wits is another team game, but you still play it solo.
Those on the same team will answer a set of ten multiple choice questions again. This time however, your answers go towards the team average.
The team with the lowest average will be ELIMINATED.

A reminder of our remaining players and their teams:
Team Circle:
Captain @davetherave
Their category was Pop Culture Trivia.
Team Triangle:
Captain @Kolido
Their category was General Knowledge
Team Star
Captain @Ectoplasm
Their category was a popular one, Celebrity Gossip
Team Umbrella (ella, ella, eh)
Captain @lorcand1990
@cee_jay (a late addition after a Necro boo boo)
And their category was Pop & Rock Music Trivia
So, who piggybacked on whom?
I can exclusively reveal that:
@Electric Nitwit @Mollyb60 @StrawbsM @wrestlemaniac and @cee_jay all chose to piggyback on @Kolido - a massacre in the making if Kolido does not get seven questions right in his category…
AND
@lorcand1990 and @Nothing surprises me now chose to piggyback on @Trigger - who is a team-mate of Kolido so faced the same questions as his captain.
Which means… in the Triangle category 11 people's fates are at risk.
So, naturally - that will be revealed last.
Nobody else chose to piggyback and wanted to go their own way… the very best of luck to you all.
Nobody from the circle category chose to piggyback. Confident or foolishly stubborn? Time will tell.
In the star category @Ectoplasm has decided that if the ship is to sink, the captain will not abandon it. @extra-ordinary_ has also opted to trust themselves more than others. Let's see how this plays out.
In fact @rainbowtrout is the only one brave enough to face the 'music' so to speak in their category.
That category of course, is Pop & Rock Music Trivia - and it will be the FIRST category revealed tonight.
Stay tuned!!!!

Next we move to the
Star Category
Which was, of course - Celebrity Gossip
@Ectoplasm and @extra-ordinary_'s fates will be determined shortly…
Electric Nitwit and wrestlemaniac also answered questions here but chose to jump ship so it won't matter whether they pass or fail…
Let's find out how they did, along with our audience @StrawbsM @PogoRach and @Bogey Lowenstein

So how did they do?
@extra-ordinary_ did fine given the category (I'd have been screwed with this set myself) but ultimately came up short with only 4/10. Which means…
@Ectoplasm fared slightly better, only one short of actually making it through. But rules are rules, so…
Electric Nitwit and wrestlemaniac made the right choice to switch at least with 6/10 and 4/10 respectively… but will it see them through to Round 3?
Our audience didn't fare any better as PogoRach and Bogey both only got 4/10.
Congrats to @StrawbsM however who would have gone through had this been her category, scoring 7/10. Her fate is still in the balance though, will her piggyback come through for her?

Next up, we move to the
Circle Category
Which is of course - Pop Culture Trivia
Nobody in this category chose to piggyback.
Which of course means that
and @miamee
will all need to score at least 7/10 to pass through and join @rainbowtrout in Round 3.
In addition to our other audience members from the last two rounds, @appledrop also chose to answer questions in this category.
Good luck to you all!

@Irish Aris sails through to Round 3 with 9/10 correct!
@miamee isn't far behind though and also goes through - 8/10 correct!
@davetherave also gets through with 7/10, the minimum requirement but that doesnt matter - all three go through to Round 3!
Unfortunately for @Sephiroth_dude however it's the end of the line…
Only 5/10 scored, so Seph exits. Not enough cat questions perhaps 😂
Our audience also did very well here, @appledrop got all 10 answers correct, @PogoRach got 8/10 and @StrawbsM and @Bogey Lowenstein got 7/10.
And now we move on to Triangle….

Triangle Category
General Knowledge
As I said before, 11 people's fates are on the line here…
Firstly our category team of @Kolido @Trigger @JP Liz V1 and @Gru
And then our piggybackers…
Relying on Kolido - @cee_jay, @Electric Nitwit, @wrestlemaniac, @Mollyb60 and @StrawbsM
Relying on Trigger - @lorcand1990 and @Nothing surprises me now
This will either go very well for a lot of you or we're only going to have a handful competing in Round 3…

And so…
@Kolido scores big meaning faith in him was well placed - 9 out of 10 correct! That means that himself and his 5 piggybackers go through.
@Trigger also came up trumps - 8 out of 10 correct which is the same score that @Gru got! So Trigger and his piggybackers along with Gru also go through.
@JP Liz V1 manages to make it over the line as well with 7 out of 10 correct meaning all 11 players go through in this round!!
It's a similar tale in our audience. @Neowise and @MacDanger joined our awesome foursome to make it six participants here.
All would have gone through. @StrawbsM @Neowise @MacDanger @appledrop @Bogey Lowenstein all scored the same as Kolido with 9 out of 10.
@PogoRach got 7 out of 10 also to round things out.
