The release strategy for the game is rather unique. Netflix dropped the first five episodes on November 22 and then episodes six through nine on November 29, Deadline confirms. Its finale is December 6 at 9 PM EST.

It's an ambitious game show, with 456 competitors going through a range of challenges, similar to the one in the Korean-based series.

Red Light, Green Light, was the first game of Season One, where over 250 contestants were eliminated. Other games included the Dalgona candy game, where you had to cut a cookie into a particular shape without breaking it. Also, there was battleship, marbles, and a glass bridge. Plus, they added some internal challenges throughout.

The game had a bit of controversy, with some contestants threatening legal action due to injuries and cold.

Along with the new season of Squid Game: The Challenge, there is a 2nd season of Squid Game series on the way. Also, a video game and Squid Game experience is opening up in L.A.
