Spot the Squid Game Pink Guards and Experience the 'Ddakji' Game at MRT Ampang Park

Wednesday, December 18, 2024

In anticipation of the long-awaited second season of Squid Game launching on 26 December, Netflix Malaysia has partnered with MRT Corp for an immersive takeover in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. From today until 13 January 2025, the world of Squid Game has been brought to life at MRT Ampang Park Station (PY20).

Fans are invited to channel their inner Player 456 in a series of interactive elements and photo opportunities mirroring the show, but with less deadly consequences. Located at the concourse, they can recreate their own Squid Game experience from the infamous Player Registration Grid to the iconic Maze Staircase, and jump right into the middle of a brand new game with Gi-Hun and other participants. Malaysians can also show off their ddakji playing skills to win a special prize. Like the show, it ends with a ‘live’ voting counter, where fans can decide if they want to continue or not, under the watchful eyes of Pink Guards.

From 20 to 22 December (at selected playtimes throughout the day), you can encounter the “Ddakji Man” on a recruitment drive at the concourse of MRT Ampang Park, challenging commuters to a game of ddakji. Best him with your ddakji flipping skills to win a limited edition Squid Game 2 Touch ‘n Go card.

Location: Concourse Area, MRT Ampang Park

Ddakji Game Timing: 

Head into the station where the Pink Guards ominously guard the women-only coach from offenders and board the Squid Game 2 train where commuters have to pick a side between Gi-Hun and the Front Man. The specially decorated Squid Game 2 train (No. 206) will be running on the MRT Putrajaya Line from now until 31 January 2025.

Outside the MRT Ampang Park’s Urban Skate Plaza, a larger-than-life Young-hee awaits to play Red Light, Green Light with potential players from 20 December 2024 to 13 January 2025. Standing at 22 feet tall, she keeps a close eye on whoever dares cross her path. Take a photo with her, but remember to stand very still.
