Squid Game on Netflix takes over Bondi icebergs – This morning at Sydney’s most iconic beach, Young-Hee challenged players to the ultimate game of ‘Red Light, Green Light’ at Bondi Icebergs.
Flanked by 50 Squid Game guards, the empty Icebergs pool made for the perfect playground as Young-Hee towered over 10 eager players, who earlier made the procession across Bondi’s foreshore.
Only one winner would survive, and in true Australian fashion, that winner was Steve Bradbury, who once again proved that slow and steady does win the race.
Live games of ‘Red Light, Green Light’ have been popping up across the world including Paris and Brazil. Further Squid Game global domination continues to take place all around the world including London and Edinburgh, Seoul for the World Premiere, Melbourne and Sydney Harbour.

About Squid Game
Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game premiered in 2021 and quickly became Netflix’s most popular title ever. This global sensation boosted interest in K-content, iconic moments went viral, Vans slip-on sneakers sales increased 8,000%, and Halloween costumes sold out around the world, solidifying its place in pop culture. The series made Emmy history with first-ever wins for a non-English language series. Following this success, Netflix debuted Squid Game: The Challenge, the Emmy nominated and BAFTA winning reality series that also topped the Netflix Global Top 10.
The franchise continues to expand with Squid Game: The Experience, a touring activation where fans can play series-inspired games; Squid Game: Virtuals, a Webby-winning VR adventure; and in 2024, a multiplayer video game, Squid Game: Unleashed. Squid Game season 1 is now on Netflix, with season 2 debuting on December 26 and the third and final season arriving in 2025.
