In the "Red Light, Green Light" episode, the show's first, players are shot for failing to stand still at the red light call. The fame of "Squid Game" has transferred to the so-called metaverse, or digital world where people move and communicate in virtual environments. Thousands of global users have been playing "Red Light, Green Light" in several game rooms dubbed "Squid Game" on Roblox, a California-based maker of popular online video game platforms. The rooms emulate several film sets and let users sign up for a "Red Light, Green Light" game. A Facebook post showed a mall in Quezon City in the Philippines had installed a 3-metre (10 ft) copy of the doll that calls out the commands in the "Red Light, Green Light" episode, which invites people to play across a crosswalk outside and win prizes.
