Made in South Korea, the Netflix show which debuted earlier this month has already been watched over 100 million times.

Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the survival drama revolving around a contest sees players who are deeply in debt play a series of children’s games for the chance to win a cash prize, but they face a deadly penalty if they lose.

Organiser Marcin Gibert said: “The SQUID FAME tournament is not related to the SQUID GAME series, it is only somewhat inspired by it. The tournament will be devoid of any form of violence and mistreatment of participants that were staged in the series.”zrzutka.pl

Although the childhood games are relatable and easy to understand, the brutal nature of how they are twisted sees players involved in a desperate fight for survival.

Marcin Gibert, organiser of the real life Polish tournament billed as the first of its kind in the world said: “The tournament will be devoid of any form of violence and mistreatment of participants that were staged in the series.

The main prize will be 30 percent of the fundraiser. If a minimum of 100 percent of the collection is achieved, the amount will be PLN 100,000.zrzutka.pl

“The most important thing in the tournament is healthy competition and fun!

“The SQUID FAME tournament is not related to the SQUID GAME series, it is only somewhat inspired by it.

“Contestants will not be killed and the prize will be a little less than the 45.6 billion in the TV series.”
