McDonald’s Australia is bringing the excitement of Netflix’s Squid Game to life with the launch of the Macca’s Squid Game Meal and Challenge, as part of the bold new ‘Dare to Play’ campaign.
Starting Wednesday, December 11, and just in time for the highly anticipated Season 2 premiere later this month, the Macca’s Squid Game Meal and Challenge will be available nationwide. Inspired by Netflix’s most-watched series, the meal includes a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets Medium or Large Meal, served with limited-time Korean BBQ Sauce, fries, a drink, and the iconic Dalgona Candy—a staple of Squid Game challenges.
The Dalgona Candy features four shapes to test Aussie players’ precision and patience: circle, triangle, star, and an exclusive Golden Arches ‘M.’ Fans can put their skills to the test by licking, biting, and cracking their way to success. Master the Macca’s ‘M’ shape, and you’ll be entered into a draw to win $100,000. There’s more—each successful attempt also brings a chance to win an exclusive Squid Game-inspired green tracksuit.
The meal is presented in a special edition adult-sized box, adorned with Squid Game characters, available for four weeks only—giving fans just enough time to collect and conquer all four shapes.
Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director for McDonald’s Australia, says:
“You’ve watched Squid Game on Netflix, now experience it at Macca’s as we bring the thrill of the game to our restaurants. Whether you’re a collector, binge-watching the series, or just curious about the Dalgona challenge, this collaboration is a must-try. So, are you ready to play?”
The Macca’s Squid Game Meal and Challenge runs from December 11, 2024, to January 7, 2025, while supplies last. Squid Game Season 2 premieres on Netflix this Boxing Day, December 26, 2024. Let the games begin!
