FIVE EXCLUSIVE GAMES

2. Marbles - Find your shape and stand on it. What looks like an innocent day on the playground will turn into a ruthless game of marbles - use your bag of various-sized balls to throw your opponent off of the board. May the best pitch win.

3. Warships (featured on The Challenge and exclusive to NYC experience) - Featured on Squid Game: The Challenge, the reality competition show, this game embarks players in a life-sized version of Warships, where you'll face off against another group, using a grid and your instincts to hit the ship on the other side of the wall.

4. Red Light Green Light - The eponymous game from Squid Game the series and The Challenge reality competition, Young-hee is in NYC to catch players in action - and dismiss them from the game for not staying perfectly still as they venture to her side of the room.

5. Finale - This one is a secret and exclusive to NYC experience!

Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game premiered globally on Netflix in September 2021 and quickly became Netflix's most popular title ever, amassing over 265M views within just 91 days. Its rapid rise from Korea to a global sensation dramatically boosted interest in K-content worldwide and solidified its place in pop culture.

The highly-anticipated second season premieres December 26, 2024 and a third and final season was confirmed for 2025. Squid Game: The Challenge, which won best reality series at the BAFTA TV Awards and spent five weeks on Netflix's Global Top 10, is currently in production on Season 2.

Following the unprecedented global success of Squid Game's first season and the Netflix reality series Squid Game: The Challenge, fans were invited to connect with their favorite characters and try their hand at games inspired by the series during the exclusive Los Angeles experience run from December 2023 to March 2024. The inaugural Los Angeles Squid Game Experience quickly became a fan favorite.
