It would definitely be fun to see a fatal game of “Warships” play out in the world of “Squid Game.” But “Squid Game: The Challenge” definitely made it a tense outing.
“By the time we got to the third game, doing a rug-pull of leading viewers and players to expect one game and then delivering them another game was an opportunity for us,” John Hay told THR. “It wouldn’t feel true to the spirit of ‘Squid Game’ if we just trotted out all of the same games, one after another, in the same order. And we’re really pleased with the way ‘Warships’ played.”
After all, tug of war is basically a game of physical strength. Whoever has the strongest team is most likely to win, so contestants anticipating tug of war might try to form strong teams in preparation. However, “Warships” has nothing to do with strength. It really comes down to pure luck, as captains of the team attempt to hit the enemy’s ships before they hit theirs. Someone could get sent home through no fault of their own, which was the case for Bryton Constantin, whom many viewers disliked immediately and were happy to see get eliminated.
“Squid Game: The Challenge” has plenty of favorites from the original, including the Dalgona cookie challenge — with a bit of a twist designed to throw people off there, as well. As far as putting people in a competition where they don’t know what to expect next, the reality show adapts that fairly well. Plus, maybe “Squid Game” Season 2 will take away some inspiration and provide a deadly version of “Warships.”
