After the Six‑Legged Pentathlon and Red Light, Green Light, the remaining players enter the Mingle game — a deadly carnival‑like arena where they must split into groups of various sizes before time runs out, or they’re eliminated.  Tense music echoes through the huge mirrored room. A giant merry‑go‑round rotates, lights flashing numbers — 10… 8… 4… 6… the countdown begins. Players scramble.
