The highly-anticipated finale for Squid Game is here, as the game finally comes to an end in the third season that premiered last week on 27 June. 

As a final farewell, Netflix took fans in Malaysia on a trip down memory lane with Squid Game: The Exhibit, a larger-than-life installation paying homage to the games featured in Seasons 1 to 3. From 27 to 29 June at LaLaport Bukit Bintang City Centre, more than 8,000 visitors — some dressed as their favourite characters — stepped into the immersive Squid Game arena one last time to relive the hit show’s unforgettable moments. 

The event kicked off on Friday, 27 June with 50 Pink Guards assembling alongside Young-hee and her friend Chul-su to welcome the first “players” of the day. A massive Squid Game invitation card greeted visitors as they stepped onto the pink carpet, indicating the start of the journey. 

The dalgona from Season 1 was given a local twist, wherein a wau bulan was carved on the giant honeycomb installation.

Onward to Season 2, the Flying Stone game from the Pentathlon also drew inspiration from a Malaysian childhood game — instead of a stone, a giant selipar stood ready for action to topple the stone at the end of the track.

Back with a fresh fit and a new buddy in Season 3, Young-hee brought a new game to play with some help from Chul-su. Standing at a towering 18 feet tall each, the playfully sinister duo kept a close watch as fans put their agility and reflexes to the test at the Jump Rope Challenge, with hundreds of players walking away with exclusive Squid Game goodies.

Have you played the final game? All three seasons of Squid Game are now streaming, only on Netflix!
