Squid Game 2: The Role of Walkie Talkies

14/01/2025
Eemits Requalifies for SafeContractor Accreditation
Squid Game 2 took the world by storm, delivering a fresh dose of nail-biting tension and shocking twists. While the games themselves remained the focal point, the series introduced a new element that played a crucial role in the unfolding drama: walkie talkies. These seemingly simple devices became essential tools for communication, strategy, and even deception within the deadly competition.

A Lifeline in the Chaos

In the cutthroat world of Squid Game, alliances are fragile and trust is a luxury. As the stakes grew higher in Season 2, the players found themselves increasingly reliant on walkie talkies - both the Hytera HP785 and Hytera BP565 were featured - to navigate the treacherous landscape. These devices allowed them to:

Forge alliances: In a game where survival depends on cooperation, walkie talkies enabled players to communicate discreetly, forming strategic partnerships and plotting their next moves. They could share information, warn each other about potential threats, and coordinate their efforts to overcome challenges.

Gather intelligence: Information is power in Squid Game. Walkie talkies allowed players to eavesdrop on guards, glean insights into the inner workings of the game, and uncover hidden agendas. This knowledge could be the difference between life and death.

Coordinate escapes: When the players decided to rebel against their captors, walkie talkies became indispensable tools for organising their revolt. They used them to communicate across different locations, relay instructions, and ensure everyone was on the same page.

Beyond Communication: A Tool for Deception


While walkie talkies facilitated cooperation, they also became instruments of manipulation and deceit. In a game where betrayal is commonplace, these devices could be used to:

Spread misinformation: Players could use walkie talkies to plant false information, sow discord among their rivals, and manipulate others into making fatal mistakes.

Create diversions: By orchestrating distractions and spreading rumours through walkie talkies, players could create opportunities to gain an advantage or escape unnoticed.

Fake identities: In one particularly cunning move, a character used a walkie talkie to impersonate a guard, sowing confusion and manipulating the players for their own benefit.

In the real world, the correct use would include: 


Spread the right information: radio users would interact with each other clearly, concisely, and factually - as not to confuse anyone or give away sensitive and/or misleading information

Create clear paths of direction: radio users are often in different locations, so real-world use would include giving clear instructions to each other to improve efficiency

Validate identities: radios, particularly screened ones, can contain radio ID information which is handy for transparency when a conversation is taking place between two departments or one team. 

The Walkie Talkie as a Symbol


Beyond their practical uses, walkie talkies also served as a symbolic representation of the themes explored in Squid Game 2. 

They highlighted the importance of communication, both honest and deceptive, in a world where survival depends on outsmarting your opponents. The devices also underscored the ever-present surveillance within the game, reminding players that their every move and word could be monitored.

The Impact on the Narrative


The introduction of walkie talkies in Squid Game 2 added a new layer of complexity to the narrative. They facilitated intricate plot developments, enabled surprising twists, and deepened the audience's understanding of the characters' motivations and strategies. The devices also heightened the tension, as viewers were left wondering who to trust and what information to believe.

Conclusion


Walkie talkies may seem like simple gadgets, but their impact on Squid Game 2 was significant. They became essential tools for communication, strategy, and deception, shaping the course of the game and influencing the fates of the players.

By exploring the multifaceted uses of these devices, the series underscored the importance of information, trust, and manipulation in a world where survival is a constant struggle.
