A bunch of contestants are currently being put through their paces, with filming for Netflix\u2019s real-life Squid Game<\/a> competition now underway.<\/p>\n

On Monday, 23rd January, 456 contestants headed to Bedford\u2019s Cardington Studios in North London for the first day of production.<\/p>\n

The game requires players to get to the finish line while remaining completely still when the person who is \u201cit\u201d (and in the case of Squid Game, the giant doll) turns around. If you move, you\u2019ll be eliminated or \u201ckilled off\u201d, as was the case with the Netflix drama.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s been reported that a small number of contestants needed medical assistance after filming in the subzero temperatures.<\/p>\n

While one contestant is believed to have injured their shoulder after accidentally running into a wall, others were treated for minor injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome people couldn\u2019t move their feet because it was so cold,\u201d a source told The Sun<\/a>. \u201cYou could hear someone yell \u2018medic\u2019 and the crew would rush on. We ended up standing there for 30 minutes between takes.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement shared with Variety<\/a>, a spokesperson for Netflix said: \u201cWe care deeply about the health and safety of our cast and crew, and invested in all the appropriate safety procedures. While it was very cold on set \u2014 and participants were prepared for that \u2014 any claims of serious injury are untrue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Netflix announced the spin-off back in June<\/a>. Titled Squid Game: The Challenge, the reality competition will see 456 players competing for $4.56 million (\u00a33.78 million) which is the biggest prize to be won on a Netflix show.<\/p>\n

With filming now taking place, it will only be a matter of time before the competition makes it onto our screens.<\/p>\n

Read on for everything we know so far about Squid Game: The Challenge, including when it\u2019s likely to drop on the streaming site and what viewers can expect.<\/p>
