What’s one way to raise the stakes in an already stressful, deeply unpredictable, and downright diabolical competition? Let eight VIPs enter the game. 

Celebrities are shaking up the world of Squid Game to put their wits, strategies, and skill sets to the ultimate test in Squid Game: The VIP Challenge. In the video above, the masks come off to reveal who will be battling it out in Netflix’s most cutthroat reality competition series.

The VIPs include Owning Manhattan star and real estate mogul Ryan Serhant, NBA champion Tristan Thompson, Spice Girls icon Mel B, content creator Kristy Sarah, Kim Zolciak of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Bachelor Nation’s Hannah Godwin, and Dylan Efron, who recently competed on The Traitors and Dancing with the Stars. Last but not least, of course, is Viper, the Season 2 player who was selected by fans to return to the competition as the winner of the Second Chance Fan Vote

Speaking to Tudum, the New York–based DJ and SoulCycle coach previously teased that he plans to cause “total chaos” in the game when he returns. “I did learn that every single decision should be considered in great detail,” he said. “I will surely use a microscope with every choice I make.”
