The moment has arrived - the champion of Squid Game: The Challenge has been unveiled following the finale's release on Netflix.
Squid Game: The Challenge has emerged as a successful offshoot of the original Netflix series, igniting extensive conversations among global viewers. The initial 456 players have progressively dwindled through each game and trial, commencing with Red Light, Green Light and concluding with Squid Game.
Fans were hopeful that their favorite players would win the record-breaking $4.56 million cash prize, but as with the original show, only one contestant can emerge victorious. Our predictions were uncertain, but now the winner of the Squid Game: The Challenge finale has been revealed. Spoilers ahead!
Squid Game: The Challenge winner
The winner of Squid Game: The Challenge is Player 287, Mai.
Sam (Player 016) was eliminated during the dinner with the three finalists, leaving only Mai and Phill (451).
In the final game, a similar squid-like diagram is laid out on the floor. However, in Squid Game's version, it is a physical match and the producers wanted to ensure that both players had a fair chance.
Instead, they opt to play a traditional childhood game of rock, paper, scissors. The winner of each round gets to choose a key from a box and try to unlock the safe. If the key doesn’t work, they continue playing rock, paper, scissors until someone finds the correct key.
In the end, it all comes down to luck – and just like in previous games, Mai was fortunate once again.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z fan of Squid Game, I was eagerly anticipating the finale of Squid Game: The Challenge. The original series captivated me with its intense survival games and complex characters, and I was curious to see how the new reality competition would measure up.
I was impressed by the production value and the way the show managed to recreate the iconic games from the original series. The contestants were all clearly fans of the show and brought their own unique strategies and personalities to the competition. I found myself rooting for different players at different times, and the eliminations were always heartbreaking.
