Game Area Details
Up to 20 participants can join each session, with the experience running for approximately 60 minutes.
As soon as you step inside the venue, the first thing you’ll encounter is the “FACE SCAN” zone.
Here, participants take a photo to register as players. Once everyone has completed their scan, players are guided in an orderly and deliberate manner to the next area—just like in the series. From there, you’ll take on a total of six games, with one ultimate winner crowned at the end.
The lineup includes six challenges inspired by the show, such as Tug of War, “Red Light, Green Light” (Daruma-san ga Koronda), and Marbles.
Each game comes with clear rules and time limits. Some moments require teamwork, while others push you into tense, split-second decisions that test your nerve.
The attention to detail in the sets, lighting, and sound design is remarkable, recreating scenes that feel straight out of the drama itself.
Because these are physically interactive games, you don’t just watch the world of Squid Game—you step into it and experience it firsthand.
Official Merchandise, Food & Drinks
Beyond the game experience itself, the venue also offers plenty of other attractions to enjoy.
There’s a themed collaboration café serving exclusive menu items, a photo zone where you can take commemorative pictures with a special frame, and a merchandise area called “Young-hee’s Playground,” featuring official Squid Game goods.
Note: “Young-hee’s Playground” (the merchandise shop) and the collaboration café can be enjoyed without purchasing a game admission ticket.
Limited-edition venue-exclusive items make great travel keepsakes or souvenirs. Even if you don’t participate in the games, you’re welcome to visit just for the café or to shop for merchandise.
