Participants don the iconic green tracksuits and red suits while navigating through a maze-like, colorful stairwell.

The poster reveals some participants expressing ecstasy or despair, adding to the curiosity about their fates. ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ is set to be streamed on Netflix from November 22, offering the highest prize in reality show history, $4.56 million, to be claimed by one ultimate champion.
