The dark thriller has set into motion the latest TikTok trend, where users are posting videos partaking in the Korean playground staple.
'Red Light, Green Light' is a simple school game – not dissimilar to ones we play in primary schools in the UK – where an individual calls out 'green light', meaning the group behind them has to run, or 'red light', meaning everyone must stop in their tracks.
If you move after the red light is announced then you'll be eliminated!
In the first episode, which is named after the game, the contestants play 'Red Light, Green Light' – those eliminated whilst playing were then killed.
On the video-sharing platform, #SquidGame has racked up over a whopping 11 billion views!
Everything from fan theories to memes to Easter eggs has been posted by fans to TikTok.
The sound bite featured in many of the Squid Game-inspired posts has accumulated over 200,000 uses!
In the videos you can hear a robotic voice say "mugunghwa kochi pieotsumnida", the Korean translation of the games name.
