It\u2019s currently being filmed at a former military base in Bedfordshire, just outside of London. There\u2019s 456 people battling it out for $4.56 million.<\/p>\n<p>The show was inspired by the streamer\u2019s hit series that saw players desperate for cash play childhood games with a deadly twist. The one distinction with the reality show is nobody\u2019s supposed to get hurt \u2014 the only problem, if you don\u2019t win, was supposed to be that you walk away empty-handed.

They figured it had landed in their feed since they\u2019d just watched the original scripted series. Several months after shooting their shot, they heard back and underwent a background check, an interview with a casting director, had their own physician sign off on a medical assessment, and had a screening with a psychologist, who stressed several times that the experience would be intense. They shared:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy understanding was it was going to be similar to <em>Squid Game<\/em>. We\u2019d be put in uncomfortable situations, living with 456 people and trying to form alliances. Except there would be no tolerance for bullying or harassment or physical violence or you potentially getting killed. So the<em> Real World<\/em>, but a little more intense. That\u2019s how I understood it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Once cast, the contestant flew from their home country to England in January while taking a leave of absence from their job (they were told they\u2019d be away anywhere from two to four weeks, depending on how long they stayed in the game). Right from the start, things were problematic. When they arrived at their London hotel, the place was in \u201ccomplete chaos and disorganization,\u201d they added:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63dd97c83aab6-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt didn\u2019t seem like a well-oiled machine. People around me were stressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>They were given a hefty amount of paperwork that detailed onboarding procedures, as made by the production company behind the project, <strong>Studio Lambert<\/strong>, and told they couldn\u2019t interact with any of the other contestants at the hotel (who all had on lime green wristbands). Their phones and computers were taken away and their luggage locked up, leaving them with nothing but their <em>Squid Games<\/em> uniform. At dawn, they were transported via bus to a hangar in below freezing temps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Squid Game: The Challenge | Announcement | Netflix\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0JCq_hmNhJs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63dd97c83aabb-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>After waiting around for two or three hours (with nothing but weak coffee and breakfast sandwiches that felt frozen), the participant started to realize the game was likely rigged. Why? Well, as they prepped to begin, some people were given microphone packs that worked \u2014 but others\u2019 didn\u2019t function! The player started asking others about their \u201ccasting process.\u201d One person hadn\u2019t applied but had been sought out by a producer. They\u2019d also recommended a friend who was cast. There was also a <strong>TikTok<\/strong> star in the mix, a set of twins, and a father-child pair. Then the contestant discovered several people already had flights booked home \u2014 even though the staff shouldn\u2019t have known when they were leaving:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Well, maybe it\u2019s just cheaper for them to do that and do a change fee. I\u2019m like, \u2018But it\u2019s a competition! They don\u2019t know who\u2019s going to win!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Then it was time for Red Light Green Light \u2014 the iconic game that saw players in the real show get shot and killed if they moved when they weren\u2019t supposed to. In this version, they had fake blood packs strapped to their back\u2026 but it was still dangerous AF! The insider dished:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63dd97c83aabf-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s f**king freezing.

The players had been given hand and foot warmers, but the foot warmers were taken away once filming began. Still, it sounds so cold, we\u2019re not even sure the warmers would have helped much! After about a half hour of <em>very slowly<\/em> playing the game, the participant recalled \u201csomeone collapse[d] behind me.\u201d They said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still ignorantly thinking it\u2019s a game. \u2018I\u2019m like, oh my God, should I be a good person and yell \u2018medic\u2019 and risk getting eliminated?\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63dd97c83aac4-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Over the loudspeaker, production reportedly told people if they needed medical attention they should put their hands up, but other plays argued they couldn\u2019t do that since they were in too much pain, so those nearby were allowed to get attention for them (without the risk of being eliminated). Cries started coming from every corner of the room \u2014 and remember, this is nearly 500 people!! The source noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPeople started dropping like f**king flies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>They continued:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63dd97c83aac9-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cPeople were suffering charlie horses and extreme cramp [because of the cold].

The contestant added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe only reason why I didn\u2019t say f**k it and leave is because I thought it was for 4.5 million.
