The poster depicts a chilling scene: a pink-clad guard dragging a bloodied contestant towards a pink-ribboned coffin. The vibrant flower-patterned floor replaces the rainbow track of Season 2, foreshadowing a brutal climax. The ominous silhouettes of Young-hee and Cheol-su, introduced in the Season 2 post-credit scene, hint at even more brutal games to come.
