Many Tik Tokers are recreating the Red Light, Green Light game from "Squid Game" where a creepy mega-sized doll tells you when you can move (green light) and shoots you when you move but aren't supposed to move (red light). One TikToker captioned his version of the game "POV: you joined squid game but you love attention" as he executes a perfect split. Another accurately showed us what it would be like if were to join the game with our best friends — we would die immediately, but at least we'd make each other laugh (via TikTok).
In addition, an Instagram creator engineered an AR filter with the game for those of us who want to play, minus the consequences. TikTok has its own version of Red Light Green Light in its filters where TikTokers are blinking (fast) to survive. The app also has a filter with the Toffee Game, one of the games in the show, which is just as nerve-wracking.
"Squid Game" dethroned "Bridgerton" as the most watched series on Netflix and #1 for weeks only to be replaced by "You" (via Business Insider). However, the gruesome Korean drama is still taking top spot on TikTok hashtags — over 40 billion people are tuned into variations of toffee candy recipes from the show, fantasy stan videos for Gong Yoo and, of course, brilliant fan art matching the show's visuals (via TikTok).
