The search for the next 456 players is on. Squid Game: The Challenge has officially been renewed for a third season, and you have the chance to be part of Netflix’s biggest unscripted series. 

Think you have what it takes to pull off that iconic green tracksuit, make shrewd social connections inside the dormitory, and outlast the competition? Click on the portal above for a chance to compete. Applicants must be 21 years of age or older. Other terms and conditions may apply.

But that’s not your only opportunity to compete. Player recruitment for Season 3 is also now taking place through Squid Game: The Experience. Winners at the immersive, IRL experience will receive priority in the casting process, though this does not guarantee they will be selected to take part in Season 3. Winners who sign up on site will receive more information via email. Fans of the Squid Game universe and guests of the experience will also have access to apply via social media and QR codes located on site, so keep an eye out for your chance to play.

Of course, another game has officially come to an end, as Season 2 has already crowned a winner. Click on the banner below to find out everything you need to know about 456 players who entered the competition.
