Based on current knowledge and typical production notes, Squid Game and its related challenges have been filmed in multiple locations, depending on the specific production:
- Original Squid Game (TV series) locations:
- South Korea: Seongapdo Island in Incheon served as the fictional island for the games, with many interior and exterior sequences filmed on sets in various locations around Seoul and Incheon. Additional local sites in Seoul were used for city-based scenes and customs. In some contexts, filming also occurred in Daejeon for certain set pieces (e.g., neighbourhoods and stairwell sequences).
- Banked on studio and external sets to create the distinct environments seen in the series, including the iconic marbles and arena sequences.
- Squid Game: The Challenge (Netflix reality competition):
- Filmed primarily in the United Kingdom, with the majority of production taking place at Wharf Studios in Barking, London. The facility comprises multiple interconnected sound stages used to recreate the arena-like environments from the fiction, plus dormitory-style accommodations for contestants.
If you’re asking about a specific season or variant (for example, a particular game location within the series or the reality competition), I can narrow down the exact locations for that entry.
