If you’re wondering what it’s like to step into the twisted, thrilling world of Squid Game—minus the deadly consequences—you should’ve been at Domino Park on June 20. That’s where Netflix brought Squid Game Season 3 to life for fans in New York City, and let me tell you: it was part fan-fest, part fever dream, and all kinds of fun.

Domino Park Became a Giant Playground (With Prizes)
The entire park transformed into a mini survival arena, complete with challenges inspired by the series. No, we didn’t get eliminated if we lost (thankfully), but we did get the chance to win real prizes. Think tug-of-war, Dalgona candy cracking, and yes, a game of Red Light, Green Light that gave us major déjà vu.
Front Man in the Flesh
Just when we thought things couldn’t get any more surreal, Lee Byung-hun—aka the actual Front Man—made a surprise appearance. The crowd. Went. Wild. Seeing him in person made everything feel just a little more real… and just a little more nerve-wracking.

A Taste of Korea (Literally)
To fuel all that friendly competition, there was a Korean food truck serving up street food favorites—think tteokbokki, mandu, and some amazing bulgogi sliders. For the grown-ups, there were Soju samples flowing (responsibly, of course). Nothing says “I survived the Squid Game” like sipping peach Soju on a Brooklyn waterfront.
Exclusive Merch and a Kaws Figure?!
Winners didn’t just walk away with bragging rights. One lucky fan scored a rare Kaws figure—yes, seriously. There were also photo ops galore, with backdrops straight from the series (including the creepy doll). If your camera roll isn’t full of Squid Game selfies, did you even go?
Counting Down to Season 3
The event wasn’t just about fun and games—it was a hyped-up prelude to the Season 3 premiere, which drops June 27, 2025. And if this fan event is any hint of what’s to come, we’re in for a wild ride.
Final Verdict?
We came, we played, we conquered (kinda). If Season 3 is anywhere near as intense as the Domino Park event, we suggest you start emotionally preparing now.
