The Game Zone at Squid Game: The Experience lets you experience all the adrenaline-pumping action from the show in a safe setting, of course!

 

What is Squid Game: The Experience?

Located in eastern Seoul's Seongsu-dong district, Squid Game: The Experience is a high-tech, immersive attraction based on the global hit series Squid Game. Visitors get to experience recreations of the sets, games and themed environments from the show in a safe, non-lethal setting – all designed with intricate and very familiar details that puts you right into the show.

 

Squid Game: The Experience is divided into three zones: the Game Zone, the Retail Zone, and the Night Market.

 

In the Game Zone, you get to test your strategy skills and mental toughness in a total of six challenges that pit participants against each other in a battle for survival. Only the last one standing will earn the exclusive privileges of a VIP.

 

Challenges include the heart-pumping Red Light, Green Light game, which first introduced viewers to the rules of the game and the eerie Young-hee doll; the Glass Bridge, arguably the most nerve-wracking game on the show; the Dalgona challenge, where you cut out different shapes without breaking the cookie; and the Marble game, where you must outwit your opponent. No one gets killed when you lose, of course, but you can have fun recreating your “death” upon losing the challenge.

 Merch and other goods inspired by the hit thriller Squid Game are a visual treat at The Experience in Seoul!

 

Following the challenges, go celebrate your win at the Retail Zone, with Squid Game merchandise readily available for sale. Want to be a Pink Guard? The infamous pink hooded jumpsuits and masks, player T-shirts, and Young-hee doll merch are up for grabs for you to take back home!

 

Cap your time at Squid Game: The Experience with soju-infused cocktails at the Night Market. The Squid Game-themed market offers authentic Korean food, game-inspired cocktails, exclusive merchandise, and mini games you can enjoy to complete the adventure!
