For the chance to win $4.56 million, a Squid Game competition is coming to Netflix, but full disclaimer – participants will not be killed.
Fans of Squid Game will soon have the chance to turn drama into reality – almost. On Tuesday (June 14), Netflix announced that the platform will be introducing an unscripted reality competition Squid Game: The Challenge where 456 players will face off in a series of games for a whopping $4.56 million cash prize.
Unlike the series which debuted on Netflix last year, participants in the competition will not be killed, with the casting application reading “win or lose, all players will leave unscathed. But if you win, you win big!”
