Squid Game x Just Eat

Following a huge success, Just Eat continues its Squid Game collaboration with Netflix.

Just like earlier, there are themed burgers and sides, Korean chicken wings and sauces are available, but this this time there’s more!

There is a range of burger named after iconic characters or scenes from Squid Game, including ‘The Frontman’, ‘Player 456’, ‘Red Light’ and ‘Green Light’.

Each served with succulent chicken breast filling, some spicy with no mercy like the ‘Elimination’ burger, some simple and humble, just like Seong Gi-hun, others don’t play small, like ‘The Tower’ burger, which is served with double chicken, stacked with cheese and fired up with chilli crunch.

There is only one vegan burger on the menu. That’s ‘Vegan Guard’s Choice’ which is crispy and spicy and – as its description says – “pressure tested”.

From classic to fiery upgrades, wide range of sides available.

‘Elimination’ fries is built to test your limits. It’s served with super hot buldak sauce and ssamjang mayo while ‘K-Fries’ is lightly salted crispy fries with Korean seasoning (red pepper, sesame, ginger and seaweed flakes).

Frontman Table Specials

Frontman Table Specials is a completely new addition to the menu.

These are basically customisable set menus, containing a burger, fries and a dip of your choice.

However, there is a twist!

‘The Frontman Challenge’ is a real life chicken wing roulette. The menu contains four chicken wing sets with four different heat levels from mild to deadly hot. You’ll also get a board and the dice with your bundle. Roll the dice to reveal your fate and follow the Frontman’s rules. Will you survive the four heat levels?

Squid Game Meal Deals

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Feed the whole crew with special meal deals containing burger(s), side(s) and drink(s) of your choice. There are meal deals for solo players, two, three and four players.

If your goal is not just to survive, but dominate, choose the ‘A VIP Showcase’ and pick your burger, side, six wings and drink.

Dalgona Cookie and Collectable Mystery Toys

Photo: Urban Adventurer

One shape. One shot. Dalgona is a classic Korean sugar candy known to be very fragile. Order one and reveal the surprise shape. What will you get? Circle, triangle, star or umbrella?

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Unbox the mystery and collect all the four characters. Squid Game Mystery Toys are now available to order on Just Eat. Open the bag and find the cutest squishy toys of the Frontman, a Pink Soldier, Young-hee or Player 456.

Enjoy your watch party!

Do you want to play a game?

Photo: Urban Adventurer

If you’ve ever wondered whether you survived a real life Squid Game, here’s your chance to test yourself!

Following the stellar success in Madrid, Sydney and Korea and acclaimed ongoing seasons in New Yok, Squid Game: The Experience is now in London with all the thrilling challenges we know from the series.

What to Expect

Photo: Urban Adventurer

You will stand face-to-face with the Pink Soldiers and test your skills across 5 interactive games to challenge your memory, luck and nerve.

Squid Game: The Experience is directly inspired by the award-winning Netflix series, so the first thing you will be doing is take a photo of yourself (Smile!).

Next, you’ll be divided into groups, blue or red.

Now, after some safety instructions, the real fun starts!

There are 5 thrilling games to participate in.

Red Light, Green Light

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Find yourself face-to-face with Young-Hee, the merciless giant doll while you’re playing your childhood favourite game, Red Light, Green Light.

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Make it to the other side before the time finishes. If you don’t? Well, unlike the series, you won’t meet your faith by a Pink Soldier, but your high-tech wristband will track all your data and gives you ranking (Red: lower score, Orange: intermediate position, Green: those who nailed the game).

Memory Steps

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Next, you’ll find yourself standing in front of the spine-chilling glass bridge. In this game, however, you don’t have to worry about falling to the concrete ground if your guessing is wrong.

Before entering the game, you’ll have a couple of seconds to memorise which tile is safe to stand on. Then, during the game you have to recall it from your memory.

Thug a War

Photo: Urban Adventurer

This is to only one game you have to play in groups. You will be battling with another group and each player has 5 seconds to pull the rope as fast as they can to move the red flag as far as they can.

Marbles

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Just like in Squid Game, you have to throw your marbles as close as you can to the target ball and knock your opponent’s boules away. Sounds easy? Well, not exactly.

Round and Round

Photo: Urban Adventurer

This is the reimaged version of the original game. Instead of forming groups and finding an empty room, you have to land on the correct shape before the signal ends.

Korean-Inspired Night Market

Photo: Urban Adventurer

If you have luckily survived all games (you will!), you have a chance to visit the Korean-inspired Night Market where you can get snacks and Soju-based cocktails to celebrate your victory and recall your choices during the games.

Photo Opportunities

Photo: Urban Adventurer

There are lots of photo opportunities. You can take selfie with Young-Hee, the Red Light, Green Light Doll, an oversized sculpture of the Frontman mask, the black coffins with pink bows, Pink Soldiers, the piggy bank and more.

Photo: Urban Adventurer

You even have time to go around the sleeping area that looks just like in the series (only that not that big) and take photos on the beds.

Squid Game Merch

Photo: Urban Adventurer

If you don’t want to leave without a souvenir or two, visit the shop for exclusive Squid Game merch.

From mugs to T-shirts to hoodies and posters, there are so many things to choose from. Plus, if your group wins the game, everyone gets 10% off all the merch, food and drink.

Squid Games Season 3 is coming in this month, so there’s no better time to prepare for all the drama awaiting for us in the final chapter.

It’s a very small, yet super cute venue.

Ma Eum Korean restaurant is located in the pulsing heart of London, just a few minutes walk from Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament and the Big Ben.

The restaurant is offering authentic Korean dining experience with all the popular Korean classics on their menu, including Korean Bibimbap, Korean-style fried chicken, Korean hot pot, soups, noodles and more.

Marinated raw crab with spicy yangnyeom sauce

Photo: Urban Adventurer

The absolute star of the show, however, is the Chef Special’s marinated raw crab with spicy yangnyeom sauce (it tastes like teriyaki sauce, but spicier and more umami) or soy sauce for those who are not fan of spicy food.

If you haven’t tried crab before, don’t worry. The staff is very friendly and explain all the ins and outs of how to eat a crab and even provide gloves you can use (you’ll have to eat with your fingers) to keep your hands clean.

Other dishes we ordered:

As we are a huge fan Korean hot pots, we also ordered the ‘BudaeJjigae’ (Army Stew Pot) which was made with kimchee sausage, pork, ramen noodle, ham and cheese.

You can have a variety of additional toppings, including mixed seafood, fish cake, tofu, marinated pork bulgogi, fried egg and more.

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Tofu Bibimbap was served with tons of vegetables (bean sprouts, radish, mushroom, courgette and seaweed) and topped with a fried egg. It was full of flavour and the vegetables were crunchy and very refreshing.

We also had Spicy Squid Korean BBQ. The squid had been marinated in spicy chili sauce and sesame oil. It was served hot was absolutely amazing!

Legend has it that somewhere in Japan once lived a warrior Geisha, named NOYA. Born with supernatural powers, NOYA was entrusted to use her powers and warrior heart to protect the culinary secrets of her mythical people, the Kumaso.

NOYA was taught by Japan’s first samurai, Taira No Masakado to become the fierce guardian of the secrets of the Kumaso, and a formidable adversary to anyone who foolhardy try to uncover the mystery of the gastronomical arts of the Kumaso people.

NOYA had battles throughout centuries Far and wide to protect the delectable secret of her people, until she finally found solace within her Fortress of wonders where she’s been living since.

What is a Pan-Asian restaurant?

‘Elimination Burger’

We ordered the ‘Elimination Burger’, the ‘Player 456’ burger, ‘BBQ Waffle Fries’, ‘Churros & Dalgona Dip’ and sweet caramel flavour with warm chilli kick Netflix x Propercorn.

The ‘Elimination Burger’ says it’s super spicy but actually it wasn’t that spicy. So, if you’re not a fan of spicy food, but would love to try ‘Elimination Burger’, you can go for it without the worry of not being able to finish it.

‘Elimination Burger’ contains a HUGE fried chicken, crunchy slaw, spring onions, Ssamjang mayo and Korean hot sauce. The burger comes in a charcoal bun.

“Get this wrong and it might just be GAME OVER”

‘Player 456’

‘Player 456’ burger is a delicious combo of crispy fried chicken, crispy slaw, creamy mayo, served in an original bun. “One bite and you’ll know why it’s still in the game.”

‘BBQ Waffle Fries’

‘BBQ Waffle Fries’ are waffle fries drizzled with Ssamjang mayo and Korean BBQ sauce, topped with crispy onions, spring onions and sesame seeds.

‘Churros & Dalgona Dip’

If you haven’t been to Korean photo booth before or never tried photo booth at all, don’t worry. Here’s a quick guide on how to use it.

Walk into one of the available booths and simply follow the instructions on the screen. The screen will tell you step by step what to do, but if you need help, a friendly member of staff is always at hand.

First, you have to choose the theme you wish to use.

Each theme includes a number of different frames. For example, the Squid Game theme has frames with Young-hee (the red light, green light doll), the pink soldiers, the maze and so on. Choose the one you like and tap on it.

Now you select how many copies you need.

The machine will print two copies by default, so both you and your friend can have one. But if you’re with a larger company, you can get as many copies as the number of people you are with.

After selecting the number of copies, you pay with your phone or touch card.

Now, you’re ready to capture your moments. If you select the automatic version, the machine will automatically take photos in every 10 seconds. If you select, manual version, you can take you photos by using a remote control.

You can retake any photo until you’re happy with the result and you can choose which photo should go to which frame.

Now, you have the opportunity to choose from a number of filters, such as golden, black and white, cool white or just go with the original.

That’s it! Now allow the machine a minute to print your photos.

Don’t forget to scan the QR code printed on the right bottom corner, so you can download a digital version of your photo, plus a short video of you taking the photos and having fun. All for free.

You have two days to download before it’s automatically deleted.

Have fun!
