When hallucinating Min-Su meets his end in S03e05, the remaining players get to progress from the square column to the triangle column.
I feel the writers missed a trick here though.
As Min-Su was guilt ridden from betraying the girl and as he could see that everyone had turned on him, it would have been interesting to write it so that he jumps to his death.
Initially, the conspiring gaggle of remaining players would looked shocked and then celebrate their good fortune as they stand in expectation of moving on to the next column.
The twist would have when nothing happened and the clock was still counting down.
When they angrily demanded to now why the first stage wasn’t concluded, the guards would inform them that it is a ‘pushing’ not a ‘jumping’ game, and that they can not progress until a player has been eliminated by being pushed over the edge.
