Squid Game: The Challenge

It’s Thursday. Squid Game was a South Korean drama series created for Netflix and premiered in 2021 to critical acclaim. The series revolves around a secret contest where 456 players, all of whom are in deep financial hardship, play a series of children’s games for the chance to win 35 million dollars. What the players don’t know is, the penalty for being eliminated is a swift and violent death. If you somehow missed the series, I highly recommend checking it out.

But what I want to talk about today is the new Netflix reality series Squid Game: The Challenge. Netflix took the concept of Squid Game and put 456 willing players into a real Squid Game environment to compete in battles of skill and character. Obviously, the players who fail in the competition aren’t killed. But other than that, it’s game-on as players compete for a life-changing $4.56 million dollar prize. I’m not a big fan of reality shows, but the girlfriend and I really enjoyed this one so I thought I’d share it with all of you. Check it out on Netflix if you’re interested.
