EMASWATI STAND TO WIN E73M IN NETFLIX SQUID GAME

PIGG’S PEAK – It’s not uncommon for emaSwati to receive fake messages of winning millions but this time, there’s a real opportunity to win just that.

This is all possible in Netflix TV Game Show called ‘The Squid Game’ where they stand to win US$4.56. When converted to Emalangeni, this translates to E73.02 million, when using yesterday’s exchange rate. The challenge, which will have 10 episodes and be filmed in the United Kingdom (UK), is recruiting potential competitors. The Squid Game is based on a South Korean TV Game Show, which is often considered dangerous. However, those who want to participate in the Netflix challenge should be rest assured that there would not be any life-threatening tasks.

According to a statement issued by Netflix, 456 contestants are required to participate in the game. However, only one person will walk away with the prize money.  The company also states that people from around the country can also apply. According to a report carried by Aljazeerah  News, Netflix was launching a reality competition series. “The streaming service is offering a $4.56 million (E73.02 million) as the reward, which it says is the ‘largest cast and lump sum cash prize in reality TV history’.” In a news release, Netflix said 456 players would enter ‘Squid Game: The Challenge,’ and compete in a series of games inspired by the show, with ‘surprising new additions.’ And unlike the original Netflix show where contestants are eliminated through death, the company said the ‘worst fate is going home empty-handed’ in this game.

Noteworthy, ‘Squid Game’ centres around contestants with dire financial struggles hoping to win billions of dollars competing against each other in typical South Korean children’s games. It became an international sensation, and it holds the record as Netflix’s most popular series of all-time, according to the company. It had over 1.65 billion viewing hours in the first 28 days after it premiered in September. It was renewed for a second season on Sunday. Brandon Riegg, Netflix vice president of unscripted and documentary series, said in a statement that they had the support of Squid Game Director Hwang Dong-hyuk as they turned the ‘fictional world into reality, in this massive competition and social experiment.’ “Fans of the drama series are in for a fascinating and unpredictable journey as our 456 real world contestants navigate the biggest competition series ever, full of tension and twists, with the biggest ever cash prize at the end,” Riegg said.
