Let the game begin.
Squid Game will come to life in Netflix’s new reality show based on the buzzy Korean drama, and the first trailer for it is finally here. Squid Game: The Challenge pits 456 real people against each other in a competition featuring games from the hit series for a massive prize of $4.56 million.

From Red Light/Green Light to the Dalgona honeycomb challenge, all the iconic games are here in the 10-episode season. However, some “surprising additions” make it even more cutthroat as alliances form and enemies emerge.
As one player says, “This is a savage game.”

But don’t worry — no one actually dies in this version. Instead of getting literally killed, whenever players are eliminated, ink packs explode on their chests simulating their death. It’s still pretty jarring!
“Oh s—,” one player says when she realizes what happens when you’re out.
Squid Game: The Challenge hits Netflix on Nov. 22, with new episodes debuting weekly through Dec. 6. Watch the trailer above.
