It was only a matter of time before Netflix\u2019s Squid Game<\/a>, itself a gripping drama centred around games, spawned a viral TikTok challenge.<\/p>\n

In a video<\/a> now viewed over 100 million times at the time of writing, popular Tiktoker Bayashi has attempted to recreate the honeycomb challenge from the third episode of the series.<\/p>\n

In the Korean survival drama, contestants must compete in a series of playground games, but with a twist: should they lose the game, they also forfeit their life. You can read our guide to the Squid Game rounds<\/a> here.<\/p>

Episode three sees the contestants handed dalgona cookies, each with a shape (for example, circle, square, umbrella) pressed into them. The challenge is to cleanly extract the central shape from the rest of the cookie without it cracking.<\/p>\n

Dalgona cookies are a popular street food in South Korea, with customers traditionally given the incentive of a second, free cookie if they\u2019re able to extract the shape from their first biscuit.<\/p>\n
