In Squid Game, a mysterious invitation to participate in a competition is sent to at-risk people who urgently need money. Four hundred and fifty-six participants from all walks of life are locked in a secret location where they play to win 45.6 billion won. The games are selected from traditional Korean children's games such as Red Light and Green Light, but the consequence of defeat is death. To survive, competitors must choose their alliances carefully - but the further they advance in the competition, the more likely betrayal will appear.
