My Experience in Squid Game on Roblox

I often found myself thinking, “I could win Squid Game!” while watching the popular Netflix series. Sitting comfortably on my couch, I felt nearly invincible. However, when I actually tried the Roblox version, it quickly became clear that I would not emerge victorious.

There is a surprising number of Squid Game adaptations in Roblox, offering various recreations of the show’s challenges. These games come complete with immersive environments and unexpected levels of stress. I anticipated quickly assembled versions of the series, but was instead met with meticulously designed challenges.

The first challenge thrown my way was Red Light, Green Light. As I stood before a giant doll singing a haunting tune, the pressure surged—my palms started to sweat. It felt surreal to be thrust into a game environment that mirrored the tension of the original show.

Another intense challenge involved working with other players to complete tasks within a time limit—failure meant instant elimination. Luckily, I found a partner and we cooperated to navigate the challenges together, leading us to the final showdown of the Squid Game itself.

However, when it matters most, alliances can falter. As we prepared for the ultimate challenge, my so-called ally suddenly turned on me, eliminating me from the game without hesitation. While it was frustrating to be ousted so unceremoniously, the experience highlighted the competitive nature of the game—an accurate reflection of the show’s themes.

I exited the game humbled yet with a richer understanding of the competitive spirit, reaffirming that the experience is a mere reflection of what the real Squid Game could feel like. If nothing else, I learned that I might be better off as an observer than a participant.
