Squid Game in Real Life?

However, the road to creating "Squid Game: The Challenge" wasn't without its obstacles. 

Reports surfaced during filming of issues caused by a cold snap in Britain, which affected the shoot at Cardington Studios, a former Royal Air Force base in Bedford.

Additionally, during the filming of the game "Red Light, Green Light," in which players must evade a menacing robotic doll, three of the 456 participants required medical attention. Netflix assured that all necessary safety measures were in place, and Britain's Health and Safety Executive determined that no further action was needed.
