Squid Game’s world domination has made many businesses very profitable.
If you haven’t heard of Squid Game yet, where have you been? The Korean hit series is being absorbed by audiences across the globe, and has just become Netflix’s most watched show ever.
Recently, we reported that Brown Butter Café in Singapore was one of the first businesses globally to jump on the Squid Game hype. Since then, many more Singaporean firms have followed in suit, to attract fans of the super show to their businesses. From merch, to drink deals and gaming, fans of the series can appreciate the efforts made by these companies. Here are eight Singapore businesses that we know have jumped on the Squid Game buzz.
1. Brown Butter Café
As mentioned already, this café was one of the first to create a customer-friendly Honeycomb Challenge from Squid Game. Read all about it in our recent article.

2. Buey Tahan See-Food
This delightful seafood restaurant created Crab Game. It involved designing 10,000 card invitations that resembled the Squid Game cards, instead using a crab symbol. The invitations were scattered across delivery and takeout orders, and customers who received one, had to play a game of Flappy Bird, and using the #crabgame tag, post on Facebook with results. Prizes included seafood dishes, food discounts and a grand prize of $456, if you got 456 points.
