Netflix’s 'Squid Game: The Trials': Here’s what it is, launch date, tickets and more

Netflix will debut an interactive 'Squid Game: The Trials' experience in Los Angeles. It will feature live competitive games, a "Night Market" offering Korean cuisine, beverages, a Squid Game store, and photo opportunities. Chef Katianna Hong from the restaurant YANGBAN will curate the food and drinks.

The experience will open on December 6 at the Television City complex, with ticket sales starting on October 11. Tickets will be available from $39, and the experience will run from Wednesdays to Sundays.

Netflix aims to build fan engagement through immersive experiences, and it has previously launched similar events based on popular shows like Bridgerton, Stranger Things, and Money Heist in cities, such as New York and Los Angeles. Additionally, earlier this year, Netflix introduced the Netflix Bites pop-up restaurant in L.A., featuring cuisine from its featured chefs.


At the 'Squid Game: The Trials' experience, participants will encounter the "Front Man," the series' masked antagonist, and undertake six progressively challenging tasks, earning points as they progress. The ultimate victor will need nerves of steel, strategic thinking, and a bit of luck.

In an announcement by Josh Simon, Netflix's VP of consumer products, the company emphasized its commitment to live immersive experiences as part of its strategy to cultivate dedicated followings for its flagship franchises.

Netflix has also extended its physical presence with a store at The Grove, where it sells merchandise inspired by its content.
