A council tells parents some schoolchildren are 'aggressively' replicating the TV thriller's games.
A council has written to parents and guardians of school children warning of the dangers of "replicating games from the Squid Game programme".
The Netflix South Korean thriller series tells the story of debt-ridden people competing for a huge cash prize in a deadly series of children's games. Its popularity prompted Central Bedfordshire Council to email parents about "aggressive" primary pupils.The email said: "There have been some concerning reports recently about children and young people 'playing' Squid Game whilst at school.
"Squid Game is also being viewed via other platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, and given the popularity of the games in the show, developers have made various mini-games based on Squid Game on Roblox and other gaming platforms."
