Everybody lovesSquid Game. When it first debuted on Netflix during the pandemic in 2021, the world couldn’t get enough of the South Korean battle royale series. Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the show was about a deadly competition that drew hundreds of players — some violent, some greedy, all desperate — to compete for 45.6 billion won, or around $38 million. The competitors would compete in a series of children’s games such as Red Light, Green Light, with success advancing them to the next level and failure resulting in certain death.

The successful series has been transformed into a reality competition series calledSquid Game: The Challenge.Just like the show, 456 players will compete in a series of challenges from the show along with new games for a chance to win, you guessed it, $4.56 million.

What is Squid Game: The Challenge about?
Squid Game: The Challengewill attempt to recapture the magic ofSquid Gameby trying to replicate the look and feel of thepopular Netflix TV show. Many of the same games from the show will be played in the reality series, including the iconic Red Light, Green Light game, with the giant doll overseeing the contestants’ movements. No one will be shot with bullets, but the players will have paint explode on their shirts if they are out.
Players must form alliances in the competition, similar to how Seong Gi-hun worked with Cho Sang-woo and Kang Sae-byeok. As the synopsis states, players will make “friends and enemies to make millions.” Only one person will be left at the end of the competition and walk away with a record $4.56 million, the largest single cash prize in reality television and game show history.
