Squid Game hit South Africa like a hurricane with its creative plot and graphic scenes, so it comes as no surprise that this is a popular search for Halloween this year.
The hit Korean Netflix series tells the tale of hundreds of contestants who are deep in debt, and accept an invitation to compete in children’s game for a grand prize, 45.6 billion won to be exact. But the stakes are deadly as people are ‘eliminated’ from each game, and this elimination means death.
Since then, we’ve seen thousands of memes float around social media, while the show is estimated to be worth almost $900 million to Netflix and only cost $21.4 million to produce.
And the hype is still stronger than ever as the Google search trends soar in the sky while people dip their finger into the Squid Game pool of inspiration, and get creative (with a few dogs making a cheeky appearance as well).
Have a look at how the dystopian series is shaking the world with triangles, circles and squares:
