Recreating Squid Game's deadly version of Red Light, Green Light may be too dangerous to do in real life, so why not try it in Riot Games' popular first-person shooter game, VALORANT?

That's exactly what some Squid Game fans have done in VALORANT, and players have shared video clips of their gameplay on social media to show us how fun (and funny) it is to recreate the thrilling game in a tactical FPS.

Twitter user Halimplays has shared a clip of how he and his playmates recreated Red Light, Green Light in the new VALORANT map, Fracture. While the enemy Kay/0 is turned away, the players move forward, but when the robot turns around to catch anyone who moves, they get shot down, just like what happened in Squid Game.

In the first of the 9-episode series, the first survival game that competitors have to complete is Red Light, Green Light and in the game, a giant doll is the one trying to catch anyone who moves, and those who move when the doll is facing them are lethally killed with bullets. This scene was recently accused of plagiarizing a popular Japanese film.

FNATIC's VALORANT pro Boaster has also joined the Squid Game hype:

These video clips just remind us of the dangerous excitement portrayed in the first-ever South Korean series to claim the #1 spot in Netflix U.S. charts.

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos recently talked at the Code Conference, speculating that Squid Gamemay be on its way to surpass the streamer's most viewed show ever, Bridgerton, saying, "There's a show on Netflix right now that is the No. 1 in the world, like everywhere in the world," he said. "It's called Squid Game. Squid Game will definitely be our biggest non-English language show in the world, for sure." He went on to say that there's "a very good chance it's going to be our biggest show ever."

Squid Game is now available to stream on Netflix. If you're wondering if there will be a second season for the South Korean survival series, check out more information here.
