Hannah J Davies Guardian For a brief moment, I do consider whether Squid Game: The Challenge could be so bad that it is good, but I think that would be letting its makers off too lightly. Rated: 2/5 Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Joel Keller Decider While there are still aspects of Squid Game: The Challenge we don’t love, like how the eliminated contestants are “killed,” we liked how the producers made the early stages of the competition more intimate and personal. Nov 7, 2025 Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community Strong personality clashes and creative twists to the show’s challenges deliver, even when the series leans in too heavily to the shock and pain of sudden, yet inevitable betrayals. Rated: 7/10 Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Milo Pope metro.co.uk So although Squid Game: The Challenge does make me queasy and uncomfortable – just like the drama does – that in itself is a powerful thing, and it deserves to be seen. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies I don’t recommend giving this reality show (or any reality show for that matter) a watch. If you watch it anyway, do remember that you were warned. Rated: 1/5 Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

home t It was better than the first season, but I hate the fact that you can just decide who leaves without having to face them or anything. The strong players always get eliminated too easily by the weak players. You should have to challenge them 1v1 and beat them at a game or something to get them to leave and not just by snapping your finger, pretty much. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/25/25 Full Review Juju S Le concept reste hyper cool à regarder, par contre je ne me suis attachée à aucun candidat cette année dont la plupart me tapaient sur les nerfs. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/23/25 Full Review Jason P There’s a reason they time released the final episode, it was absolutely abysmal and left us (and everyone I’ve talked to) angry and disappointed for wasting our time. There’s a decent concept still here and a lot of set design & production work but the editing and production direction ruined this show Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/22/25 Full Review Audience Member Felt boring and rehearsed. Unlikeable contestants with no real charisma. The worst reality television finale I’ve ever watched. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/22/25 Full Review Gig C We loved both Squid Game and Squid Game Challenge - we're both avid board gamers. Season 2 of the Challenge focused way too much on interpersonal drama and not enough on strategic game play. In addition, the "final" game, while nostalgic, was super disappointing. It was way too little/basic for a finale and 4.56 million dollars. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/20/25 Full Review E M Ep 1-4 are okay, from ep 5 to end it’s flopping, too many unnecessary self eliminations than actual strategy playing. Winner, hmmm… Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
