Real-life Squid Game in Abu Dhabi?

Korean Cultural Center (KCC) in the United Arab Emirates has arranged a "real-life Squid Game" -- set to take place in Abu Dhabi today.

Needless to say, this reimagined version of the Netflix sensation will be without bloodshed, reports CNET.

The event involves games actually played in the show. Two teams of 15, wearing T-shirts featuring the show's logo, will play red light green light, Dalgona candy challenge, and paper flipping games Marbles and Ddakji, CNET reports.

The event's staff will wear pink circle, triangle and square costumes to look like the guards in the show's death games.

While the event's registration page says there will be some prizes, there's no mention of the life-changing 45.6 billion South Korean won prize the 456 desperate contestants compete for in the show.

Only UAE residents are eligible to compete. In order to apply, applicants had to answer questions that tested them on their basic knowledge of Netflix's "Squid Game".

Unsurprisingly, this isn't the first time "Squid Game" has been played in real life. "Squid Game" has become so popular it made its way into a Belgium school. The kids, who apparently watched the 18+ show, played the red light, green light stop-start game and beat up those who lost, adds the CNET report.
