There's Already A Waitlist For The Upcoming ‘Squid Game' Immersive Experience

By: Haley Bosselman By: Haley Bosselman | October 6, 2023 | Lifestyle, Feature,

Squid Game

More than two years since Squid Game debuted on Netflix, it remains as the streamers most-watched show ever.

The twisted take on a survival drama series watches as hundreds of financially struggling contestants accept an invite to compete in children’s games for a life-changing monetary prize. However, the stakes are deadly.

As of the week of Sept. 23, it has been viewed 2,205,200,000 hours.

Yes, that’s 2 billion hours.

Not only has Squid Game broken streaming records, but the Korean series has been a trailblazer in the awards circuit. Actors O Yeong-su, Lee Jung-jae and HoYeon Jung became the first Korean actors to win a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor—Series, Miniseries or Television Film and SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series, respectively. Lee also took home an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, which was the first time an Asian actor won the award for a non-English role.

Season 2 began filming earlier this year, meaning we still have a while until we get the new episodes. In the meantime though, your fanfare can be nourished.

On Dec. 6, Squid Game: The Trials will debut in the Fairfax District. The immersive pop-up transports attendees to the Squid Game universe where you can place thematic competitions. Upon greeting the Front Man, you’ll dive into a lineup of escalating challenges in order to rack up points to become the winner. Gamers will get to play six games across 70 minutes in the indoor space.

The on-site Night Market will offer a variety of Korean and international sweet and savory dishes and beverages by Yangban chef Katianna Hong.
