2. THE ‘SQUID GAME’
The Squid game is a literal translation of a popular schoolyard game played by Korean children during the 1970s and 1980s. It’s described as a “type of tag where offense and defense use a squid-shaped board drawn in the dirt. In the show, a crew of very ‘desperate’ South Koreans—all mired in debt—are lured to a remote island where they’re to play a series of games from which the winner will emerge a multimillionaire. Soon things take a turn for the darker, beginning with the most gruesome game of Red Light, Green Light you’ve ever seen.
Of course, Happy Sparrow will not want to bring his participants to the ‘dark side’. In Sparrow’s Edition of the Squid Games, he will ‘mirror’ a few of the games and let the participants understand the ‘alternative ways’ to play them virtually. And best of all, he will even teach you a trick or two during the gameplay so that you will be able to enjoy this spectacular Netflix series in a better way too!
