A Real-Life Squid Game Experience Is Coming To NYC This October

If you’ve been going through Squid Game withdrawal like us, we have good news for you! Due to a frenzy of demand and an incredibly successful pop-up in L.A., Squid Game: The Experience is finally making its way to New York! The waitlist for tickets is available so be sure to secure your spot. Tickets officially go on sale to the public on Aug. 21st.

This unforgettable experience is located in the Manhattan Mall, steps away from NYC’s Koreatown (lovingly known as K-town). Get your best track suit ready and compete with others in exciting games such as “Red Light, Green Light,” “Marbles,” “Glass Bridge” and more! Compete and play these games in settings that bring memorable scenes of the show to life.

Test your nerves through five intense challenges! Come face to face with the iconic Young-hee Doll in “Red Light, Green Light.” Will you freeze in time? Try your best to get all your marbles in the notable shapes from the show, the umbrella, circle triangle and star! Watch your step as you step across the treacherous “Glass Bridge.” Will you be able to identify which tiles are good to make it safely across?

The event personifies the series we all know and love but it also gives new twists and turns throughout the experience. Don’t worry, unlike the show, if you lose a game, you won’t be hauled away. While everyone can keep playing, only one winner will emerge!

There will be plenty of photo ops all throughout the space, mirroring the aesthetics of the show.
