Ready to see the scariest game of Red Light Green Light ever made yet again? Looks like the wait will not be long, as it is all set to return with a new challenge.

The streaming platform is all set to return with a new version of the most adventurous game ever played. A while ago, the official Twitter account of the streaming platform announced the premiere date with a thrilling teaser of its upcoming real-life competition. The 50-second clip featured an exciting sneak peek of all the challenges that lie ahead for all the participants in the game. Sharing the teaser, Netflix tweeted, “456 real people. 4.56 million dollars” before concluding, “Squid Game: The Challenge begins November 22.“

While the players would simply lose the game in contrast to losing their lives, the upcoming challenge will surely be filled with unexpected and gruesome challenges. Long before the reality competition was announced, the Korean blockbuster also reached the audience in another format.

The show reached the fans in a new format

Squid Game was arguably one of the few shows on Netflix that garnered an enormous fan base within hours of its release. Not only did it surpass some of Netflix’s top shows, it also became one of the highest-viewed shows on the platform. Owing to an incredible response from the fans, the Korean thriller show also stepped into a new format of storytelling. 

Much to the delight of the fans eagerly waiting for Squid Game season 2, Netflix had the perfect alternative. The blockbuster show is now available in the Virtual Reality genre, where the fans can relive the experience whilst being a character. Moreover, the VR version allows the fans to interact with other participants.
