Before the premiere of season 2 of "Squid game", Netflix "played big" by bringing the fictional world in the movie into real life with a real-life game called "Squid game: The Challenge".
Netflix announced on June 14 that its hit series “Squid Game” will be adapted into a real-life game titled “Squid Game: The Challenge.” The game will feature 456 competitors competing for a huge cash prize of $4.56 million (equivalent to the original prize of Squid Game of 45.6 billion won).
Each person will play a series of childhood games featured in “Squid Game,” as well as new games added by Netflix. Anyone over the age of 21 who speaks English can sign up. Unlike the brutal ending in the original series, the losers will go home empty-handed.
“The compelling story and iconic visuals from director Hwang Dong-hyuk’s “Squid Game” have captivated the world, and we’re bringing this fictional world to life,” said Brandon Riegg, Netflix’s senior vice president of programming.
Netflix claims that this is the biggest prize money competition in television history. "The competition will be intense and competitive. 456 real competitors will embark on their journey. We hope fans of the show will join us on this exciting and unpredictable journey." The reality show will consist of 10 episodes and registration is open for those who are ready to take on the challenge.
The idea of creating a real-life version of the “Squid Game” is probably not new. Previously, YouTube star MrBeast held a “Squid Game” contest that garnered over 250 million views. The 25-minute video received praise from “Squid Game” director Hwang Dong Hyuk himself, while Netflix has not commented on it.
The announcement of the survival game comes after Netflix officially renewed "Squid Game" for a second season. The first season of the Korean survival drama holds the record for being Netflix's most popular drama of all time, clocking in over 1.65 billion hours of viewing in its first 28 days.
“Squid Game” is not only a simple survival drama but also a great metaphor for Korea's highly competitive society. Unlike many long-running dramas that give messages of hope and suggest things to do, “Squid Game” provides insight into harsh realities. With an open ending, “Squid Game” will return with a new and exciting season 2.
