    Do You Want to Play the ‘Squid Game’? Now You Can

    456 players will compete to win — you guessed it — $4.56 million in the new reality competition series.

    June 14, 2022

Season 2 isn’t the only thing Squid Game is bringing its fans. The South Korean series is coming to life in Squid Game: The Challenge, the biggest reality competition series ever — all it needs is you.

Exactly 456 players will compete to win the life-changing reward of $4.56 million — the largest cast and lump sum cash prize in reality TV history. Players will be put to the test in a series of games inspired by the show, along with some surprising new additions that will push them to their limits. Strategy, alliances and character are crucial in order to survive the tension. The stakes are high, but thankfully, in this game, the worst fate anyone will face is going home empty-handed.

Squid Game Reality Competition series casting call announcement.

Squid Game took the world by storm with Director Hwang [Dong-hyuk]’s captivating story and iconic imagery,” Brandon Riegg, Netflix vice president of unscripted and documentary series, says. “We’re grateful for his support as we turn the fictional world into reality in this massive competition and social experiment.”

Even if you already have a green sweatsuit picked out to impress the Front Man, there are a few more obstacles — luckily not as difficult as Sugar Honeycombs — that stand in your way before the $4.56 million prize. Here’s what you’ll need to enter to compete in Squid Game: The Challenge.

Players must be 21 or older.

Provide a 1 minute video that tells the casting crew about yourself, gives insight into your strategy, why it’s vital for you to compete and most importantly, what you would do with the huge jackpot.

Please no filters in your video — the Front Man wants to see how you’ll really appear on camera.

Upload a player headshot and full length picture. Feel free to submit a few more photos, if you’d like.

And if you’re not one of the 456 players selected for Season 1, you can opt in for future outings of the show.
