Google brings Squid Game to your browser ahead of season 2 premiere – Squid Game (Netflix)

Google is teaming up with Netflix to bring the excitement of Squid Game directly to your browser just days before the show’s highly anticipated second season. By searching “Squid Game” on Google, users can access a mini-game version of the iconic “Red Light, Green Light” challenge from the series’ first season.

The game, accessible on both desktop and mobile browsers, features six virtual contestants racing to the finish line under the watchful eye of the infamous Young-Hee doll. Players must move when the doll turns away and freeze when it turns around. Each mistake results in the disappearance of one participant, increasing tension as players strive to succeed. Those who reach the finish line are rewarded with a cascade of confetti and a digital piggy bank.

This collaboration is not Google’s only nod to the Squid Game universe. On Dec. 17, Netflix also launched Squid Game: Unleashed, a free multiplayer experience. Both initiatives are creating excitement for the second season, which premieres Dec. 26, 2024. Fans can look forward to the return of Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) as he fights to dismantle the deadly games. Netflix has also confirmed a third and final season for 2025.
