Some 80 New Yorkers got together on the streets of Manhattan in green tracksuits on Tuesday (local time) to play real-life “Squid Game” hosted by The Korea Tourism Organization’s New York office. Losers had to simply leave the site while the final winner won a round trip ticket to South Korea. Participants who were randomly selected from about 3,110 people who signed up for the event played Korean children’s games featured in the viral Netflix series including dalgona honeycomb cookie carving, ddakji, a Korean game using folded paper tiles, and Red Light, Green Light.
