The idiomatic construction "give up" can confusingly be used for two similar meanings, and unfortunately the non-idioms (yield, surrender) have the same problem.
Give up means to discontinue the game, work, task or job in hand. It can also mean to stop fighting, or surrender. But it can also be used to mean provide or reveal.
"If we can't solve the problem, we will have to give up." (quit)
"Once we control the high ground, the enemy will have to give up." (surrender, yield)
"Once deciphered, the ancient book will give up its secrets." (provide, yield, reveal)
Give in is much clearer. It means you accept defeat or agree to cooperate.
