In Squid Game: The Challenge, how you play is who you are. Throughout Season 1 of the reality competition, 456 people of all ages, identities, and backgrounds from all over the world were tested in a series of physical and mental challenges. Their goal? To win the biggest cash prize in Netflix television history — $4.56 million. Everyone came with their own strategy, strengths, and weaknesses. But with stakes this high and deceivingly simple games of luck and skill, every player’s true colors was on full display.

This official players guide will allow you to dive deep into the stories of the competitors who made it past Young-hee during Red Light, Green Light and keep track of their progress through the game. Follow your favorites and see who stays and who goes as the prize grows and the competition shrinks. In the end, only one can win — and that pressure can break players as easily as a piece of dalgona. 

The next game is already underway, as Season 2 of the competition series launched on Nov. 4 for a three-week event. To meet the new batch of players who entered the dormitory, click on the banner below to find out their names, player numbers, astrological signs, social media, and more.
