Squid Game Netflix reality TV show: games, prize

The competition will feature games that are inspired by the challenges Seong Gi Hun and his fellow players faced in Squid Game. While Netflix has yet to reveal the actual obstacles, it’s hard to imagine that iconic games from the TV show such as the Red Light, Green Light, Sugar Honeycombs, and of course, the actual Squid Game, will not be included.

However, Netflix also teased audiences and potential participants that there will be “surprising new additions”.

If you emerge as the sole winner of the Squid Game reality TV show, you’ll come home with a USD4.56 million cash prize which is reminiscent of the KRW45.6 billion grand prize in the fictional show.
