Finally, the moment we were all waiting for arrived - the winner of Squid Game: The Challenge was decided. 456 contestants were whittled down to just three in what can only be described as a nail-biting battle of wits, all against the backdrop of some super creepy children's games reminiscent of the original Korean drama. 

The final episode of Squid Game: The Challenge is now available on Netflix (it landed on Thursday 7th December) and sees players Mai, Phill and Sam compete to win a huge $4.56 million - the biggest ever cash prize in gameshow history.
