Squid Game S2
Turning viewers into players.
The challenge
Netflix wanted to turn excitement around Squid Game S2 into something audiences could actively participate in, giving fans at home a way to feel part of the launch rather than simply watch it unfold.
The curly thinking
Big title launches spark conversation, but social coverage can often feel like passive reporting. We needed a format that captured the energy of the premiere while giving fans a reason to stay, play and share.
What we made
So we turned Instagram Stories into a live game inspired by the world of Squid Game. As events unfolded, fans made decisions and progressed through challenges designed to recreate the tension and unpredictability of the series. This transformed coverage into an entertainment experience audiences could play rather than simply consume.
The results
First-of-its-kind event coverage on social for Netflix
Increased dwell time and repeat engagement across Stories
Extended excitement around the launch beyond attendees in the room
