Squid Game, the globally acclaimed series created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, initially captivated audiences with its intense social commentary and gripping narrative. Now, it's leaping from the screen into the world of mobile gaming in a thrilling collaboration with Garena Free Fire. This crossover brings the iconic challenges and aesthetics of Squid Game directly into one of the most popular battle royale experiences on mobile.
Starting July 14th, players will have the chance to immerse themselves in legendary competitions inspired by the show, such as Red Light, Green Light, and more high-stakes trials where only the strongest survive. Dress the part with exclusive character outfits, equip special themed accessories, and even communicate using recognizable Squid Game voice lines—all part of this limited-time event.

But the excitement doesn’t stop at in-game content. As part of the collaboration, Free Fire is launching a real-world challenge for fans across the United States. The Ddakji Master Challenge, inspired by the traditional Korean game featured prominently in Squid Game, will run from July 16th to July 27th, giving participants in Dallas, Houston, and Miami the opportunity to showcase their tile-flipping skills. The top performer across all participating cities will take home an impressive cash prize of $4,560.
This isn’t Free Fire's first brush with Netflix collaborations—having previously teamed up with Money Heist—but it’s certainly one of the most anticipated. With fast-paced gameplay, strategic combat, and now immersive pop culture events, Garena Free Fire continues to evolve and surprise its massive global audience.
