Want to know how much the Squid Game season 3 prize money starts at and how it changes each episode? Below is a full breakdown of the Squid Game season 3 prize money after each game in Korean won and how it converts to US dollars.

Season 3 picks up from where season 2 leaves viewers, with half the games having already been played and a large amount of money in the piggy bank.

However, you can only win 45.6 billion won if you are the last remaining player alive. If players end the games early, the remaining total is split evenly between whoever is left alive.

How much is 660 million won in USD and GBP?

At the start of Squid Game season 3, we learn that 35 players were eliminated during the revolt leaving just 60 players alive. The total prize money stands at 39.6 billion won and each player's share stands at 660 million won if they agree to end the game there. How does this convert to US dollars and GB pounds though?

• In USD, 660 million won is roughly $485,000 (at the time of writing)
• In GBP, 660 million won is roughly £353,000 (at the time of writing)

How much is 1.724 billion won in USD and GBP?

In Squid Game season 3 episode 3, it's revealed that another 35 players died in the game of Hide and Seek and there are just 25 players left standing. As a result, the full prize money rises to 43.1 billion won with each player's personal share becoming 1.724 billion won. This is over double the total per player in episode 1.
