Squid Game is a South Korean series directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, blending drama, suspense, and puzzle-solving with survival. The series revolves around a series of life-threatening challenges inspired by Korean traditional games, involving 456 players and gradually decreasing through each round. Only one person emerges as the ultimate winner, taking home the grand prize worth 45.6 billion won.
MrBeast's video, uploaded on November 25th, garnered over 74 million views and 7.6 million likes within less than 48 hours. The 25-minute-long video features various enticing games from Squid Game, with gameplay similar to that in the show.
