WHAT IS SQUID GAME?
The Netflix show that was trending globally takes playing children’s games to the next level. The thrill from the series comes not from playing the game, but from the consequences of losing. Each player who enters the Squid Game games is sentenced to death if they lose and whoever wins the game at the end is not only traumatised from the whole process but wins a cash prize to save him or her from debt.
After the release of the first Netflix series, Squid Game became the biggest Netflix show ever with 1.65 billion hours of viewing in just the first four weeks of its release last year (financialexpress.com).
