Netflix\u2019s Squid Game<\/a> reality TV show, Squid Game: The Challenge<\/a>, has launched on the streaming site, with 456 players competing for a multi-million dollar cash prize.<\/p>\n While almost identical to the Korean drama show, which launched back in 2021, there are a few changes along the way, including some very brutal twists.<\/p>\n In episode 1, the contestants learned that, as well as the games within the competition, they\u2019ll be tested within the dorm room \u2013 and may get the chance to eliminate other players or give someone an advantage in the game.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis dormitory is where you\u2019ll live, eat and sleep. You will be responsible for its upkeep. Between games, there will also be tests which will take place in the dormitory. These are tests of character. How you play is who you are.<\/p>\n \u201cDuring these tests, you may have the opportunity to give other players an advantage to help them in the game \u2013 but be aware, these tests may also be the opportunity to eliminate other players,\u201d one of the guards revealed.<\/p>\n Ahead of the Dalgona Challenge, which sees contestants having to cut a shape out of a cookie, things got even more heated as yet another twist was thrown into the mix.<\/p> While in the drama series, characters were randomly given shapes ranging from a square to an umbrella, circle or triangle. This time around the players got to choose their shape, but it wasn\u2019t that simple.<\/p>\n Initially, the players were asked to get into four queues. The person at the front of each queue was then asked to go into the playground where the four shapes were on the wall.<\/p>\n They were then told that they had two minutes to choose their shape, and that they all had to agree within the time.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore the game can begin, you four players must select which shape your entire line of players will cut out. You must each select a different shape and you must all agree on your decision,\u201d the voiceover explained.<\/p>\n Of course, no one wanted the umbrella, and by the time the two minutes ran out for the first group of four, a decision wasn\u2019t made, leading to the biggest twist of all.<\/p>\n The voiceover revealed that as they hadn\u2019t made a decision, those players would immediately be eliminated from the game \u2013 savage!<\/p>\n \u201cPlayers, your two minutes are now over. You failed to come to a unanimous decision and have broken the rules of the game,\u201d the voiceover revealed as the four players were then shot at.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t think this stopped the next group from making this same mistake\u2026<\/p> \n
