Where is Squid Game: The Challenge filmed?
Squid Game: The Challenge was filmed at Wharf Studios in London over the course of 16 days.
A total of six interconnected sound stages were taken up by production to allow players to live inside a "completely immersive world".
The only point of the show where filming took place elsewhere was during the Red Light, Green Light game.
Red Light, Green Light was filmed at Cardington Studios in Bedford, Europe's largest indoor space. At over 100,000 square feet, the space was previously used to build airships and zeppelins in the 1920s and '30s.
A lot of work went into making the competition look just as it did in the drama series, including items that were CGI'd into the original drama.
For example, the piggy bank that the players see fill up with money every time a contestant is eliminated was created for the very first time for Squid Game: The Challenge.
The first nine episodes of Squid Game: The Challenge is available to stream on now. Sign up for Netflix from £6.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glassand Virgin Media Stream.
