A cold snap in the U.K. seemingly caused problems on the first day of shooting SquidGameTheChallenge
On Monday, production kicked off on the upcoming reality competition series “Squid Game: The Challenge”, but according to reports, things didn’t go so smoothly.For the first game of the shoot, contestants played “Red Light Green Light”, which fans of the hit Korean drama would recognize, in which players had to make it across a finish line, but go completely still when the person who was “it” turned around to look.
They reported that one player even had to be taken away in a stretcher, as temperatures allegedly got below zero degrees celsius. “Even if hypothermia kicked in then people were willing to stay for as long as possible because a lot of money was on the line. Too many were determined not to move so they stood there for far too long,” a source said. “There were people arriving thinking they were going to be millionaires but they left in tears.”
Contestants in the reality show are playing for a prize of $4.56 million, with 456 players competing in the first round.
