What a way to wait for the second season of the phenomenal Korean drama eh? We all know the mechanics of the game from the series. In this case, 456 players will play re-invented childgames. Winners of the game proceeds to the next. Losers are eliminated. In the drama, we know what it meant about “elimination”. Only one wins the jackpot.
The article also included the website to go to if ever you are interested in trying your actual luck on the real game. On the page, it pre-sorts applicants coming from US, UK and for other territories:Global Casting. However, they do emphasize that:
*Please note: Win or lose, all players will leave unscathed. But if you win, you win big!
From scripted to unscripted 10-episode series, Squid Game is still rocking the streaming boat. Although the concept is no longer new, as a separate reality version of the show is already uploaded on YouTube. The online creator MrBeast recreated the games with uncanny accuracy in design.

Of course, this time it’s Netflix. There will definitely be more elements in the reality show. Could there be a VIP box too? But if there will be, what participation could they have to the actual games over-all? Could they help out their “bet” players while the games are on-going? Not to mention that the jackpot is really jacked up from thousands to actual millions! Anyone who wins the games will be set for life down to their grandchildren’s children if they play it right.
Let the games begin… red light… Green Light!
