From Seoul to PLDT stores in the Philippines, the hit Netflix thriller-drama has indeed taken the world by storm
There’s no denying it: Squid Game isn’t just a show—it’s a global phenomenon.
The Netflix mega-hit isn’t just a gripping Korean action drama, it’s a cultural juggernaut that blends suspense, sharp social commentary, and unforgettable visuals. The popular series hits all the right spots that made it take off as a viral phenomenon, to the point that its iconic games have been turned into real-world installations around the world. Now, you too can try your hand at some of the challenges the characters have gone through (without the deadly consequences, of course).
If you’re able to jet-set, you may be able to check them out for yourself. Here are five real-life Squid Game experiences around the world you and your fam can add to your bucket list:
Seoul, South Korea
No surprise here! Seoul tops the list as the birthplace of Squid Game. While already finished, the Netflix installation in the motherland built the immersive Squid Game: The Experience – offering diehard fans a chance to walk through the show’s twisted playground in the very country where it all began.
After taking on the Squid Game challenge, some of Seoul’s most famous sights await travelers, like the Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Tower, Lotte World, the various Hanok villages, and so much more.
London
London takes the Squid Game obsession to the next level with Squid Game: The Challenge – a reality series and live experience rolled into one. At Immerse LDN, fans can dive into a thrilling lineup of games straight from the show, including Red Light, Green Light, Marbles, Memory Steps, and Round and Round.

New York

In the city that never sleeps, fans can test their luck and skill like Red Light, Green Light, Glass Bridge, and Warships at the Manhattan Mall.
