Squid Game Season 3 is getting all kinds of reactions—but fans can’t stop talking about the new challenges, especially the jump rope and hide-and-seek games that are quickly going viral.
The third season of the Netflix mega-hit dropped on June 27 and wasted no time claiming the #1 spot in 93 countries, becoming the most-watched content on the platform during its debut week.
While opinions on the plot are divided, two games featured in the latest season—jump rope and hide-and-seek—have sparked a global wave of viral content. From TikTok to Instagram Reels to YouTube Shorts, fans everywhere are jumping in (literally) on the action.
Just like how “Red Light, Green Light,” “ddakji,” and “gonggi” went viral in past seasons, the new challenges are now taking center stage. People are now using the Squid Game 3 Jump Rope filter—or trying real-life versions of the intense game.
One of the biggest trends is a giant group jump rope setup in Bangkok, Thailand, where crowds are lining up to take part in the viral experience.
Netflix is also pushing the hype, releasing a YouTube tutorial titled “Pink Guard teaches you the jump rope game,” which already passed 170,000 views in just 3 days. The jump rope game song video is doing even better, racking up over 13 million views in just 4 days.
Even with mixed reactions to the story, Squid Game 3 proves once again that it knows how to set off a global trend.
