"Squid Game" is a hugely popular South Korean series available on Netflix. The characters of the series find themselves in a survival game where the grand prize is an astonishing amount of money, and lives are at stake.

The popularity of the series has also influenced the video game industry, as the plot of "Squid Game" lends itself perfectly to an interactive game. Typically, projects based on the series take not the characters' stories as a basis, but the very concept and the challenges that the heroes had to face.

Thus, video games inspired by "Squid Game" essentially represent sets of mini-games. As in the series, the conditions of each challenge are different. In the first episode, the characters must cross a field while playing "Red Light, Green Light" (also known as "Statues"). By the way, a similar episode, but with a traffic light, is present in the game Control.

In the second challenge, participants must cut a specific shape out of candy, trying not to break it. The umbrella is the most difficult of the available shapes. The third challenge is tug of war. Unlike the usual children's game, this version implies the death of one team, as the participants stand at the edge of a cliff.

Another notable challenge is the glass bridge. Players must jump on platforms, some of which are made of regular glass and shatter if stepped on. Also, in some projects, there is a game used for recruiting participants. Ttakchi is the Korean equivalent of the game with marbles or, as they are also called, caps.

Most games use the original English title Squid Game in their titles — Squid Game Challenge, Squid Game Runner, etc. They should not be confused with the officially licensed project based on the series mentioned by Netflix. Other games use only similar mechanics, but their titles are not as clearly related to the series — K-Games Challenge, Survival Challenge - All Games, 456: Survival game, and others.

It is worth noting that challenges inspired by "Squid Game" are also used in other popular projects. For example, in the popular Roblox, there is a separate mode, and in Minecraft, you can download maps with fully functional challenges.
