What happens inside Squid Game: The Experience London?
1/7
Bunk Room induction
Activity type: Themed intro room
This was the strongest set-recreation moment in the whole experience, with dorm-style bunks, guards, numbering, and the clearest visual link to the show before the gameplay started. It also mattered practically because phones were allowed here, unlike during active game rounds. Most visitors focused on the decor but rushed the rule briefing, even though that was what shaped how fair later games felt.
Where to find it: At the start of the experience, immediately after check-in and bag screening.
Memory Steps
Activity type: Glass-bridge-inspired memory challenge
This was one of the most recognizable TV-to-live translations and one of the most divisive. It looked good, created crowd tension, and worked well as a spectator moment, but it was also where pacing could stall because players had to take turns. What many visitors missed was that this was the one major gameplay element not accessible to wheelchair users.
Where to find it: Mid-circuit, after the induction room and before the later elimination-style games.
Marbles
Activity type: Precision / target game
Marbles was less a literal copy of the series and more an adapted social challenge that depended heavily on how clearly the host explained the rules. It often felt more fun than intense, which suited casual groups better than hardcore competitors. The detail people rushed past was that the scoring felt most credible here when everyone actually listened before the round began.
Where to find it: Mid-circuit, in one of the central game rooms between the intro and finale rounds.
Rope Game
Activity type: Team challenge
This room usually delivered the best shared-energy moments because it rewarded noise, teamwork, and buying into the atmosphere more than individual skill. It landed well with families and birthday groups, but it could feel light for visitors expecting something more athletic or high-stakes. What most people missed was how much room chemistry changed the whole thing — shy groups got much less out of it.
Where to find it: In the middle section of the circuit, after the early individual rounds.
Red Light Green Light
Activity type: Live supervised movement game
This was the signature recognition moment for most fans because it gave them the closest thing to stepping into the show’s most famous setup. The actual mechanics were simple, but the fun came from room energy, rule enforcement, and watching other people freeze badly under pressure. What people often overlooked was that the family mix changed the tone a lot — adult-only evening sessions usually felt sharper.
Where to find it: Late in the circuit, once the group had already moved through several earlier rounds.
Round and Round
Activity type: Musical elimination-style finale
This was the finish, and it split opinion more than any other room because some visitors found it funny and chaotic while others thought it felt lighter than the buildup promised. It worked best if you treated the ending as social theater rather than a serious sporting decider. The detail many people missed was that the winner logic could feel a little arbitrary by this point, so expectation-setting mattered.
Where to find it: Near the end of the route, just before the post-game exit into the Night Market.
Night Market
Activity type: Post-game hangout zone
The Night Market was not just an exit corridor — it was where snacks, drinks, merch, and photos stretched a short attraction into something that felt more like a full outing. It helped the visit breathe after the fixed circuit, but it was not a dinner stop because hot food was not served. What many visitors walked past too quickly was the fact that this was the main decompression space after phones had been restricted during gameplay.
Where to find it: Immediately after the final game, in the exit zone.
