What Happened on the Set Between Games?

Life in Squid Game: The Challenge wasn’t all about plotting and scheming 24/7. In between the competition’s intense physical and mental games, the players actually had some much-needed downtime. Of course, they were still living in the Squid Game: The Challenge dorms the whole time, so that meant getting creative with what they had at their disposal.

Watch all of the unexpected moments that happened in the dorm between games — from dance-offs to push-up competitions and makeshift mummy outfits fashioned out of toilet paper.

Immersed in the world created by the 2021 scripted series Squid Game, 456 real players put their skills — and character — to the ultimate test for a life-changing $4.56 million prize. Watch Squid Game: The Challenge, streaming now on Netflix.
