Squid Game: The Challenge released its first five episodes on Netflix earlier this week. A total of 456 players were featured in the game, which is the same number of players that were showcased in the 2021 Korean show.

While not much information is available about all of the competitors on the show, the first five episodes provided insight into some of the contestants. Some cast members can also be found on Instagram, as various fan pages seem to be working around the clock to find all the players competing for the grand prize of $4.56 million.

Episodes of Squid Game: The Challenge are available to stream on Netflix. The show will drop the next five episodes in the upcoming week on the streaming platform.


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.

In the end, only 63 contestants remained, and in the upcoming episode, which is set to air next week, half of those will be eliminated after the first game.
