Everybody loves Squid 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 contend for 45.6 billion won, or around $38 million. The competitors would contend 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.
Doesn’t sound appreciate great material for a reality show, right? Wrong. The successful series has been transformed into a reality competition series called Squid Game: The Challenge. Just appreciate the show, 456 players will contend in a series of challenges from the show along with new games for a chance to win, you guessed it, $4.56 million.

How much does Netflix cost?
appreciate many streamers in 2023, Netflix is more expensive for customers of certain tiers. The ad-supported scheme – Standard with ads – remains at $7/month. Almost all movies and television shows on Netflix are available on this tier, but some will be excluded due to restrictions.
The other tier remaining at the same price is Standard, which costs $15/month and features unlimited ad-free TV shows, movies, and mobile games. The price increased for the Premium tier, which moves from $20/month to $23/month. This ad-free tier features unlimited programs on six supported devices. Although Netflix does not offer the Basic scheme, existing customers in this tier will now pay $12/month.
What is Squid Game: The Challenge about?
Squid Game: The Challenge will attempt to recapture the magic of Squid Game by trying to replicate the look and feel of the popular 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.
