First it was a TV show, then it was a phenomenon, now, it's a live experience. What else would we be talking about but Squid Game?

The South Korean dystopia came to Netflix in 2021 and became a full-on mania across the world. Its story – of a group of financially struggling people participating in a deadly competition of children's games – had universal appeal, and has since then spawned countless games, merchandise, Halloween costumes, and live events.

Among this is the official Squid Game experience, which is now heading for London after successful runs in New York, Sydney, Seoul, and Madrid.

Opening this spring, visitors will have the chance to take part in several games from the series – minus the deadly consequences of course. The sets and costumes will all mimic the TV show's iconic imagery, from the red-hooded guards to the prison jumpsuits, and visitors will face off against each other to claim victory at the end.

Tickets for this highly-anticipated series are now on sale, so here's everything you need to know.

If you know anything about the Squid Game Netflix series, we probably don't need to tell you what happens at the live experience.

Contestants go head to head across a series of games all engineered by a mysterious frontman. Each session will last approximately 60 minutes and include games such as Memory Steps, Marbles, Rope Game, Chair Game and, of course, the infamous Red Light Green Light.

These seemingly simple playground games all come dressed up like the actual sets from the series with accurate costumes, lighting and props – not to mention Young-hee herself.

The experience also includes plenty of photo opportunity as well as a Korean-inspired Night Market where you'll have the chance to buy food, drink and a ton of merch.
