456 people are competing in Squid Game: The Challenge
Netflix's latest reality show, directly inspired by the 2021 Korean show Squid Game, is now available to stream on Netflix. While the show is set to drop the final five episodes, a lot has already gone down in the first five segments of the show.
While 456 participants participated in the games, the following players stood out due to their gameplay, strategies, and their ability to form alliances. Kyle and Dani became the first players that underwent a "test" during which they eliminated a well-liked player.
Jada's zen personality and her desire to help others and stay focused helped her remain in the game, while TJ's leadership style and command helped save his entire team during one of the tasks.
