Rules
Society Game is a game show in which 22 contestants live in a custom-built "house" (an outdoor set) under constant video surveillance for 14 days. While in the house, the contestants are isolated from the outside world. Before the game begins, the contestants are first divided equally into two societies: Nop-dong (Green Team) and Ma-dong (Red Team). The two societies then live apart in two different areas in the house and are isolated from each other at all times besides the Team Challenge and Eviction Ceremony.
The "house" is circular in shape and is divided into three equal sections: Nop-Dong, Ma-Dong, and Neutral Zone. Neutral Zone is the connecting space between the two societies and the main entrance. This is also where Team Challenges and Eviction Ceremonies are held. The two living spaces for both teams are almost identical. Both have a Leader's bedroom, Storage, Cooking Area, Jail, and Bedroom. The Leader's Bedroom is the only air-conditioned room and the air-condition will be deactivated if anyone other the Leader enters the room. The only difference in both spaces is that in Ma-dong, there is a "Rebellion Room" and in Nop-dong, there is a "Voting Room". The "Rebellion Room" contains a gong in which a rebellion can be started and the "Voting Room" is where the contestants conduct a private vote.
Each day, the two societies compete against each other in the Team Challenge. The winning team will be awarded 10,000,000 won (approximately US$10,000) along with other rewards while the losing team will eliminate one member from their team and from the game during the Eviction Ceremony. At Eviction Ceremony, the winning team's Leader has the power to name a Blacklist Candidate. If one member's name is written twice, they are automatically evicted from the game.
At the end of two weeks, only three members from each society will remain and they will compete in the Final Challenge. If only 3 members remain in a society before the end of two weeks, there will be no more evictions from the team even if they lose the Team Challenge. However, if 4 or more members remain in a society by the end of two weeks, the final Leader will have to choose 2 members to join him/her to the Final Challenge while the unselected members will be evicted. The 3 members on the winning team of the Final Challenge will be crowned the winners.
Each society will also choose a Leader. The Leaders will enjoy luxuries including a personal air-conditioned bedroom and access to a personal safe. They also have the power to evict and the power to distribute monetary awards (i.e. prize money won in team challenges).
In Nop-dong (Green Team), the society is modeled as a democracy with all members having the right to vote and the right to be elected. At the beginning of each day, the members will elect a Leader through a secret ballot and the person with the most votes will become the Leader for the day. A maximum of three members can run for candidacy each election and the sitting Leader will automatically become a candidate for the next election. In the case of a tie in the votes, the sitting Leader will break the tie.
In Ma-dong (Red Team), the society is modeled as a totalitarian state with the Leader reigning indefinitely until he/she is "overthrown" in a "rebellion". The initial Leader is chosen through a challenge. However, subsequent Leaders are chosen after a successful "rebellion". At the beginning of their tenures as Leader, the Ma-dong leader must hand out 2 "Keys of Rebellion" to 2 members. Only the keyholders have the power to initiate a rebellion by sounding the gong in the Rebellion Room. If a majority of the members hits the gong within 30 minutes of the initial gong, the "rebellion" is successful. The current Leader will then be "overthrown" and replaced by the person who initiated the "rebellion".
Rule Changes in Season 2
The following rule changes were made in season 2.
- Nop-dong Evictions would now be determined by a vote among all members of Nop-dong. In the event of a tie, the leader would cast a tie-breaker vote. The leader will have immunity from eviction.
- In the event of an unsuccessful rebellion in Ma-dong, the initiator will be blacklisted. This means that if their name has already been put on the blacklist, they will be evicted.
Team Challenges
Episode One - Human Janggi (Human Chess)
Team Prize: 10,000,000 Korean won + additional 5 kg of personal belongings for team
Human Janggi (or Human Chess) is played on an 8-by-6 board which is divided into three levels. Each team has a set of 11 chess pieces numbered from 1 to 11. Each team then assigns a member who is in charge of moving their team's pieces. The remaining 10 members will each be assigned a number corresponding to their numbered chess pieces. The final, unchosen number will be become the King. Each piece's identity is concealed at the beginning of the game. The first team that gets their King to opposite side of the board or reveals the opponent's King will win the Challenge.
On each team's turn, they can select one piece and move the piece for:
1) one or two spaces on the same floor, or
2) one space when moving up or down a floor.
When a piece moves up to an opponent's piece, the two pieces and their corresponding members are revealed. The two members then engage in a mini-game with the loser's piece eliminated from the board. The King has no defense ability, and once revealed, the King is eliminated. However, a piece cannot attack an opponent piece on a different floor.
There are three mini-games available: Physical, Mental, and Dexterity. The Physical Game (Statue Dropping) is where two players wrestle each other while tied to a mini-statue. The first to knock off their opponent's statue wins. The Mental Game is where two players solving a puzzle using the provided hints. The Dexterity Game is where two players face-off in a Ring Toss game.
The mini-game played is determined by combining the corresponding number of the two members facing off. If the sum of the numbers are:
10 or below = Mental Game
11 to 13 = Dexterity Game
14 or above = Physical Game

Episode Two - Round Table of Suffering
Team Prize: 10,000,000 Korean won + Ice Cream
Round Table of Suffering is a game that requires both physical and mental capabilities. Each team will designate three members on their team as the "table lifters" and their role is to lift up and hold an 80 kg platform with eggs placed beneath the platform. The remaining members will be participating in a mental math challenge; table lifters will not participate in the challenge.
In the mental math challenge portion, each member will be provided a 6-sided die with numbers 1 to 6 labeled on each face. In each round, an arithmetic equation (i.e. 1 + 1) with a final solution of either 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 will be shown on the screen. A 3-second countdown will ensue in which all participating members will answer the equation by showing the correct face on the dice away from them. If a member answers incorrectly, or if a member fails to lock in an answer in time, it will be deemed as an incorrect answer.
For every incorrect answer by a member in the mental math challenge, a 5 kg bag will be placed on the platform of their corresponding team and increase the total weight carried by the table lifters. The first team to drop their platform and crush the eggs beneath will lose.

The 22 contestants entered the House. They were told that they will divide into two equal teams, Ma-dong and Nop-dong, and a Preliminary Test will determine the order in which they will choose their teams. The better ranking they achieved, the earlier they can choose their team. There were 3 types of challenges available: Mental, Physical, or Dexterity. Mental Test involved memorizing a sequence of colours. Physical Test involved a timed trial for transporting 5 kg bags from the start point back to a platform. Dexterity Test involved a ring toss game. After determining the teams, they were told that they can only keep 5 kg of personal belongings (extra 3 kg for the 3 Preliminary Test winners) and bring it with them into their quarters. Each team must stay in their respective quarters at all times unless otherwise stated. The 22 players are sorted into two societies. As the residents start to settle in, members start to conspire and set sight on their targets. Preliminary Results (Day 1)
In Ma-dong, Yang Sang-guk quickly gathers the first 4 residents to form a secret majority alliance in hopes to control the society. As the day progresses, the society slows divides into two major alliances as they try to become the majority.

| Day 2 | Human Janggi (Human Chess) | October 16, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In Ma-dong, Lee Hae-sung became the first Leader after successfully completing the Leader's Challenge. He handed out one of the two Keys of Rebellion to his ally, Jang In-jik, and the other to Yang Sang-guk against his allies’ wishes. Later that day, Yang Sang-guk discovers Lee Hae-sung's plan to target his alliance from Hyun Kyung-ryul. He then initiates a rebellion, which was further supported by 5 other members. Gaining majority support, his rebellion is successful and he becomes the new Leader. The society is now split between those who supported the rebellion and those who did not. However, distrust starts to build within the majority alliance. In the Eviction Ceremony, Kang Sang-guk decides to divide the prize money equally to all the members besides himself and decides not to nominate a blacklist candidate. In Nop-dong, Pharoh, Kim Hee-jun, and Yoon Macho ran for leadership with Pharoh receiving the majority of votes (6 votes) and becomes the first Leader (against Kim Hee-jun's 4 votes and Yoon Macho's 1 vote). It is then revealed that Oliver Jang rallied for Pharoh's election to create an excuse to justify eliminating Pharoh in the future. By allowing Pharoh to become leader, Oliver sees it as an opportunity to expose Pharoh as an ineffective and expendable member. Following their defeat in the Team Challenge, Oliver Jang and Shin Jae-hyuk plots to vote Hong Sa-hyuk as leader tomorrow in order to eliminate Pharoh. Pharoh decides to hold private sessions with each member to seek out public opinion on who they would like to see evicted. In the meantime, Oliver Jang cites Pharoh's lacklustre performance and attempts to convince the group to eliminate Pharoh tomorrow. His speech is overheard by Yoon Ma-cho, Pharoh's secret ally, who delivers the news to Pharoh. Ultimately, at the Eviction Ceremony, Pharoh decides to eliminate Yoon Tae-jin, who was the majority's choice to evict. Eviction Opinion Poll
Chae Ji-won, Yoon Tae-jin and Hong Sa-hyuk's decision has not been revealed. Chae Ji-won chose to nominate Pharoh, who is ineligible for eviction. End Narration "If a group you belonged to needed a scapegoat, who would you choose? If it was me, I would choose neither friend nor foe, but the person whose sacrifice would make no one angry or sad." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Day 3 | Round Table of Suffering | October 23, 2016 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In Ma-dong, Yang Sang-guk checks his safe and discovers a bottle of sparkling water and a letter with a piece of paper that has "12/13" printed on it. It is then revealed that on Day 2, Lee Hae-sung and Yang Sang-guk had a secret agreement to not evict each other. Lee Hae-sung also forms a Final 3 alliance with Yang Sang-guk and Kwon A-sol. In order to gain absolute control of the society, they plan to get Choi Seol-hwa (a Key of Rebellion holder) to start a rebellion so Yang Sang-guk can reassign the Key to Lee Hae-sung when it fails. However, Lee Hae-sung reveals to his ally Jang In-jik of his ultimate plan to allow Choi Seol-hwa's rebellion to be successful, get the Key from her and start a rebellion immediately after to regain leadership. Park Ha-el, Lee Hae-sung's ally, attempts to persuade Choi Seol-hwa to use the Key of Rebellion by lying that Yang Sang-guk wants to evict all the female players first. She cites that the society is currently split 6 to 5 and if Seol-hwa decides to rebel, she has enough support to be successful. However, in the event that they lose the Team Challenge, the one member of the minority alliance will be evicted and Seol-hwa will lose the chance to rebel. In the Eviction Ceremony, it is revealed that Yang Sang-guk split the prize money equally with all members except Kwon A-sol, who received $0. He also does not nominate a blacklist candidate. In Nop-dong, Oliver Jang continues to rally members to vote for Hong Sa-Hyuk in his attempt to evict Pharoh. Kim Hee-jun, Pharoh, and Hong Sa-Hyuk decides to run for candidacy. However, when the votes are revealed, Kim Hee-jun wins the majority with 6 votes (compared to Hong's 4 votes and Pharoh's 0 vote). Oliver Jang and Hong Sa-Hyuk's alliance is shocked at the results but is now convinced that there is another alliance. It is revealed that a majority of the members were wary of Oliver's schemes and decided to keep him in check by voting against his wishes. After losing the Team Challenge, the society is focused on finding out who is responsible for their loss. All fingers are pointing at Yoon Macho, but he deflects the blame from himself by saying that he only made a few mistakes. However, some members see through his lies. Pharoh and Yoon Macho schemes to keep them both safe for the eviction by pushing the eviction of Oliver Jang, another popular candidate for eviction. Kim Hee-jun asks each member to write down their choice for eviction anonymously and the majority votes in favour of evicting Yoon Macho. However, in the Eviction Ceremony, Kim Hee-jun surprises his society by eliminating Shin Jae-hyuk... Eviction Opinion Poll
