What began as a binge-worthy thriller is stepping off the screen and into reality. From Friday January 16, Netflix’s global phenomenon Squid Game is becoming a real-world experience in Shibuya, where fans will get a chance to take part in the show’s intense games – minus the life-or-death stakes.
The experiential event has already toured cities worldwide, including Madrid, Seoul, London, Los Angeles and Sydney. Netflix Shibuya Real Squid Game will take over the third floor of Shibuya Fukuras with familiar games and immersive sets that fans can take part in.
Just like in the series, visitors can scan their face to register as a player and enjoy six games from the show including 'Tug of War', 'Marble Game' and 'Red Light, Green Light'.
Aside from the game rooms, you can also check out a special café featuring an exclusive menu, photo zones, and 'Yonghee's Playground' which has been converted into a shop where you can shop for special merch.
Guests with VIP tickets can enjoy additional perks like having access to the VIP room from the show where you can enjoy a drink.
Netflix Shibuya Real Squid Game takes place from January 16 to July 20 from 11am to 9.30pm daily. Tickets start at ¥3,900 on weekdays for adults and ¥3,300 for children, while weekends and holidays start at ¥4,100 for adults and ¥3,500 for children. VIP tickets can be secured for an additional ¥2,000. For more information and tickets, visit the website.
