Squid Game: The Challenge - Episode Guide

Kicking off this reality competition, hundreds of hopefuls in tracksuits set out to cross the finish line during a game of "Red Light, Green Light."

Cracks in the competition begin to show during "Dalgona," a game that shapes up to be a daunting endeavor amid sweet victories and painful extractions.

The players face a moral quandary about their weakest links. As meal time approaches, they get a tasty treat — but in this game, there's always a catch.
