Fans of the hit show "Squid Game” have a treat in store, since Google has introduced an interactive surprise that lets users experience the world of the Korean series. This surprise lands just before the launch of a new season of the show.
To discover this surprise, simply type "Squid Game” into the Google search bar. An animation then appears, inviting users to take part in a simplistic version of the game "Red Light, Green Light.” This game, synonymous with the series, is recreated here in a fun, interactive way. Users must click to move forward when the little girl's back is turned, and stop when she turns around, or risk being eliminated. Users control a group of six players trying their luck to cross the finish line.
The game is available worldwide on both mobile and desktop.
In addition to this collaboration with Google, Netflix has already stepped into the gaming world by launching video games based on its shows, including the Korean series. The game "Squid Game: Unleashed" was launched free of charge on December 17. It's available online, and you don't need to be a Netflix subscriber to play.
To promote the second season, several real-life events have been held in cities around the world. In Paris, France, for example, a giant game of "Red Light, Green Light” took place on the Champs-Élysées on December 1.
The second season of "Squid Game” will be launched on Netflix on December 26, after a three-year wait. The dystopian series was a resounding success when it was released in 2021, rising to first place among the most-watched non-English-language shows of all time on the platform, according to the streamer's official rankings. – AFP Relaxnews
