So what are these games? Inspired by his own struggles and economic inequality in South Korea, the film director and screenwriter Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote Squid Game, which later turned into a successful series. Squid Game is an actual game that gained popularity in the '70s and '80s. The game got its name from the squid-shaped figure drawn at the start of the game. This is when players divide into two teams and fight for who will “dominate” the playground.
