Can you survive the Indian version of Squid Game?

Childhood games you know, and love turned into life-or-death challenges.
 

Sounds nostalgic? Think again.

Well, all these games were taken from different regions in India.

Game 1: Chain
Player starts as the "chain" and must tag others to join the chain. The goal for the untagged players is to survive until time runs out. If tagged, the player joins the chain but is eventually eliminated once the chain reaches its target size. Only those who evade the chain move to the next round.

Game 2: Pallankuzhi
A game of seeds and strategy from Tamil Nadu. Players compete in this mancala-style game to strategically collect the most seeds. The game emphasizes calculation and patience. The lowest scorers are eliminated, and any player making invalid moves is immediately eliminated.

Game 3: Lagori
Teams are formed, and players must knock over a pile of seven stones with a ball. The attacking team must rebuild the stones, while the defending team aims to hit attackers with the ball. 
Losing team members are eliminated. Additionally, any player hit by the ball is executed. Survivors proceed individually to the next round.

Game 4: Dhopkhel
This is a traditional form of dodgeball. Players compete individually, dodging balls thrown at them while attempting to tag others with the ball.
Getting hit by the ball leads to instant elimination. Only the top-performing players who avoid elimination advance.

Game 5: Coconut Bowling 
Players roll coconuts to knock down wooden pins. The game becomes progressively harder, with fewer pins and stricter time limits in each round.
The lowest scorers in each round are eliminated, leaving only a few players to advance to the final.

Only One Wins

It all leads to the Final game: Kabaddi.
The final game is a Kabaddi match where players take turns being raiders. A raider must tag both opponents and return to their side without being caught.
A caught raider or defender is eliminated. The last surviving player is declared the winner.

Only one walks away with the grand prize and their life.
