MrBeast, actual name Jimmy Donaldson, of YouTube presented his $3.5 million reconstruction of “Squid Game,” which includes a full-scale set and costumesย
“Squid Game,” Netflix’s most-watched show of all time, is a Korean drama series about a group of people who haven’t lived their lives by fair means, who participate in children’s games in order to pay off their debts. Player who loses a game gets “eliminated”. One of the things that kept viewers interested in the show was its violent nature.

Following the concert’s success, MrBeast, who is known for conducting large-scale YouTube competitions, promised that if his TikTok video received 10 million likes, he would repeat the show in real life. The video soon surpassed that goal.

Squid Game By MrBeast
Starting with “Red Light, Green Light,” the competition moved through the main sections of the TV series. When candidates were eliminated, however, a device attached to them would “explode” and stain their clothes rather than being shot. Foam was also used underneath the tug of war and bridge leaping games to prevent contestants from plunging to their deaths.
Instead of playing Squid Game, the Korean children’s game the show is named for, the competitors played musical chairs with their hands tied. Furthermore, Donaldson did not reproduce the sequence in which all of the contestants compete to reduce the number of contestants. Instead, they played Ddakji, the paper-throwing game played by Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) in the first episode of “Squid Game.”
MrBeast, who was dressed in the Gamemaster’s black outfit, was one of the characters in the video who wore costumes inspired by the show.
How Much Money Was Spent On Squid Game By MrBeast
MrBeast said in the video that the “Squid Game,” which was partially sponsored by the video game “Brawl Stars,” cost $3.5 million. He added earlier this month on Twitter that the recreation film cost “about 2 mil to build and produce, and 1.5 mil in prizes.”
