This article contains spoilers forSquid Game: The Challengeepisodes 1-5.
NetflixsSquid Gamereality competition seriesSquid Game: The Challengewas met with controversy long before it premiered on Nov. 22.
Beyond the obvious cultural concerns (Netflix is aware that Squid Game is bad, right?
),early reports from the setpointed to some rough conditions for the real life players to endure.
And the TikTok crews reports from the challenge reveal that it was.
Additionally, the game lasted an astounding 17 hours according to player 191. and then promptly tumbles over.
Replying to @naingkiss thank you for the amazing questions!
Keep em coming
The Umbrella Ppopgi Was Inevitable
In addition to 385s why did I squat?
Why couldnt the players selecting shapes find a better way to negotiate?
Certainly they could just agree to some sort of game of chance to settle the whole thing?
According to none other than 299 himself, that wasnt an option.
That games producers explicitly outlawed games of chance in determining who got stuck with which cookie.
It was come to a group decision or perish.
Replying to @No thanks#greenscreenlet me know if yall have any more questions!
Spencer Hawkins really goes through the wringer inppopgi.
And then elimination from the challenge itself finds him rolling around in the dirt, loudly dry heaving.
Thankfully, Player 299 is acting like doing just fine.
Hes also the most prolific and helpful former player we could kind on TikTok.
Replying to @T#greenscreenyup just one outfit!
And according to players 326 and 191 thats all you get when youre participating in the games too.
Though the group bathrooms contained fresh infusions of generic underwear, the tracksuits received no such replacements.
You know it had to smell wild in those barracks.
Speaking of barracks,player 326 makes clear just how crushingly boring the living experience is in-between games.
Replying to @Sofie Holland (she/her)#greenscreencouldnt agree more.
When I saw the casting call for this I was like this has to be a joke, right?
Because it obviously goes against everything that the original show was about, Player 326 said on TikTok.
Seeing the nitty gritty of people competing for money for other peoples entertainment was very dystopian.
