Due to its subject matter and overall message, Netflix’s recently releasedSquid Gamehas gone on to becomethe most viral entertainment property of 2021. The show follows a large group of debt-ridden contestants who volunteer for a series of deadly children’s games to win a bounty of wealth that will completely change their lives. Particular emphasis should be placed on the word “deadly” as only one out of the 456 contestants can make it out of the games alive with the prize.
Of course, sinceSquid Gamewent viral with a premise based on overcoming physical challenges, it was only a matter of time before the internet decided to recreate the show in real life, and the perfect host for the job just took on the project.Popular YouTuber Mr. Beastcreates sweepstakes-style challenge videos likeSquid Gamefor a living and so released a TikTok telling his audience that if they could get the post past 10 million likes, he would recreate the show.

Now obviously, Mr. Beast can’t exactly reenactSquid Gameas that would require him to order his crew to kill all losing challengers on sight with live firearms, which the American legal system typically frowns upon. However, he can still dress his people up in pink jumpsuits and have them shoot losers with paintballs or something to keepin line withSquid Game’s tone. Other games in the show that personally result in death can also simply be modified.
As he only just passed the “like” goal, whatever Mr. Beast has planned for his version ofSquid Gameremains a complete mystery, but he probably already has some idea of how he’s going to do it and will release more information on how it will look soon. Or maybe he keeps it completely secret until the time of release. After all, no one in theSquid Gameuniverseknows that the games exist aside from the survivors and the people who run it.
