A new immersive experience, based on the hit Netflix show Squid Game, is set to open at Immersive Gamebox locations in the UK.
Guests will be transported into the world of the South Korean drama, with players taking part in life-size digital versions of the games, albeit without the fatal ending.
There are six mini-games, including the famous “red light, green light” game featuring the iconic giant doll, the “dalgona honeycomb challenge” and an intense adaptation of “tug of war”.
Beginning September 21, the UK’s four Immersive Gamebox locations will offer the new experience that utilises projection mapping, 3D motion tracking and surround sound to fully immersive players in the story.
Will Dean, CEO and co-founder of Immersive Gamebox, said: “We are incredibly proud to be bringing the first immersive Squid Game experience to the UK later this year. Whilst the outcome of the game isn’t quite as life or death as the Netflix series, the experience will be full of suspense and have dark undertones, which is something we’ve never done before.
“Playing the games for real in our immersive spaces will get players’ hearts racing and the use of motion tracking and touch screens in the Gameboxes recreates the games in a way that transports you into the Squid Game world.”
