Squid Games at Luna Park

Friends gave us tickets for Christmas so we all headed to Luna Park this week for the Squid Game Experience.

I had pretty low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. It's amazing how much effort went into it and it looks great. The first room you go into really sets the scene. I spent a lot of that game nervously looking around, while joyfully marvelling at what they'd recreated.











You play 5 games and I found myself nervously giggling throughout the evening. It taps into the energy of anticipation and I guess that bonhomie of wanting your friends to do well too. I say too but sadly player 136 did not survive ANY of the challenges.






However I was having too good a time to feel any shame or disgrace (you will understand what I am referring to if you've played it).

The guards were really intimidating, and it was funny how nervous & jumpy you'd get if they came up behind you.





While we were waiting to go in, the guards marched past and I took a photo. One then stopped and looked at us. We all started to recoil nervously. It's was a brilliant start the night to set the mood.



We left exuberant, commenting how reinvigorating it is to play, and it's a shame adults don't do it more.

If you've watched the show, I thoroughly recommend this. It's so fun. Tickets can be bought here. I think they've just extended dates.






(This is not an ad, I just loved it.) I was given the Stop/Go earrings from a friend back when season 1 came out. Was delighted to have a reason to wear them again!

And that's what's been on my calendar.





Note these photos are all in the foyer. I didn't take pictures once the games began. So these are not an indication of the standard of the environment once you go inside.
