The Front Man invites you, yes you, to participate in Squid Game! Have you ever found yourself watching Squid Game and thinking “I could totally survive that” or “It would be so fun to try one of those challenges – just without the dying”? Then this is the perfect O-Week event for you! Put your skills to the test and complete a series of challenges, both mental and physical, and see if you would actually survive Squid Game in real life.

Set up in the UC Refectory, Squid Game will have numerous challenges – some you’ll know from your childhood, others from the show and others will be a surprise. Completing the challenges successfully will reward you and losing them will have consequences… but don’t worry, if you fail a challenge you’re not eliminated and can just continue onto the next game!

Squid Game will have numerous physical challenges that may involve running (such as red light, green light), however, these games can be adapted to work for all abilities. The event can be found in the UC Refectory, the main hall in building 1. The event is accessible through flat ground from the UC Concourse or elevators behind Mizzuna café.

The Social Intensity Scale is 5/5 as you will socialise with other competitors, work in teams and immerse yourself in the experience.

We are always flexible and willing to work with our students so we want to hear from you if there are any accessibility requirements that will make it easier to attend our event!
