The global impact of Squid Game continues, with real-world experiences inspired by the hit Netflix series now available in several cities, including a nationwide rollout in PLDT stores across the Philippines.
From Seoul to Sydney, fans can step into the world of the thriller-drama through immersive activities modeled after the show’s iconic challenges, without the life-or-death stakes.
Here are five Squid Game attractions you can now add to your bucket list:
Seoul, South Korea
The first official installation, Squid Game: The Trials, was staged in the show’s birthplace and gave fans a chance to walk through detailed recreations of the series’ sets and games. Though the run has ended, it drew thousands of visitors eager to relive scenes from the show.
London, United Kingdom
In London, Squid Game: The Challenge at Immerse LDN offers an interactive experience inspired by the recent Netflix reality competition. Participants can take on games like Red Light, Green Light, Marbles, and Round and Round.
New York, USA
A similar setup is available at the Manhattan Mall in New York. Visitors can test their skills on the Glass Bridge and other challenges, then enjoy Korean snacks and drinks at the themed night market and shop for official merchandise.
Sydney, Australia
Fans in Australia can visit Squid Game: The Experience in Sydney, featuring challenges from the show’s first season. Many guests combine the visit with sightseeing at the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, and other city attractions.
Philippines
PLDT Home is bringing Squid Game to life in select stores across the country. Starting this July, customers can join a six-game activity at PLDT branches in SM North EDSA, SM Megamall, SM Southmall, SM Lipa, SM Baguio, SM Seaside Cebu, and Abreeza Mall Davao.
New PLDT Home Fiber applicants have a chance to win up to P5,000 by completing the challenges. Those who sign up for Netflix Plan 1599 will also receive a green tracksuit similar to what the characters wore in the series.
“We know the impact Squid Game has globally including Filipino streamers,” said Patrick Tang, PLDT Home Acquisition Marketing First Vice President. “We’re excited to bring the experience closer to our customers.”
Squid Game Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
