This game took place on November 3, 2024. All players are required to step onto the platform in the center of the arena. Once the game begins, the platform will spin accompanied by the song "Round and Round". Shortly after, the platform and music will stop and a number will be called out. Players will have 30 seconds to form groups according to the announced number, enter a room and close the door. All doors will automatically lock once 30 seconds have passed. Players that fail to enter a room within the time limit will be eliminated, as will any players in a room that does not contain the required number. The game took place in a circular arena with a central platform that resembles a carousel, featuring horse sculptures. The arena is surrounded by a series of colorful, numberes doors, evenly spaced along the walls, which are decorated with lights, bows and intricate patterns, giving a carnival-like atmosphere. To ensure fairness and integrity, the rooms contain cameras allowing the square guards in a control room to verify and confirm that the room contains the required number of people. After the number is called out, the lights go darker and flick faster, warning the players to go to the rooms immediately with the required number of people.
