Planning to Do Squid Game: The Experience in NYC? Here’s Where to Stay

When Netflix’s Squid Game first hit screens, it gripped the world with its chilling premise, unpredictable twists, and deeply human stakes. Now, with Season 3 debuting on June 27, 2025, fans can take their obsession beyond the screen thanks to Squid Game: The Experience, a real-life immersive event located in Manhattan—and Kimpton Hotel Eventi is offering front-row access with a limited-time luxury stay package designed for thrill-seekers and series devotees alike.

Located just three minutes from the event’s location in Chelsea, Kimpton Hotel Eventi is transforming the fan experience into a refined, immersive retreat. Its newly launched Squid Game: The Experience Offer is available Thursday through Sunday now through September 1, 2025, and includes a two-night stay, VIP entry to the game, themed welcome surprises, and culinary indulgences across the hotel’s dining venues.

Here’s what’s included:

• Two-night stay (Thursday–Sunday only) in one of Kimpton’s stylish rooms or suites
  

• Two VIP Admission tickets to Squid Game: The Experience
  

• A Squid Game-themed welcome gift, complete with mini challenge games
  

• A $150 dining credit valid at the hotel’s restaurants, including L’Amico and Skirt Steak by Executive Chef Laurent Tourondel
  

• Required booking at least 10 days in advance, subject to availability
  

• Rates begin at $788

Just a short stroll from the hotel, Squid Game: The Experience thrusts participants into a 60-minute sequence of intense, tech-enhanced challenges inspired by the show—plus new games designed specifically for this NYC installment. Players test strategy and nerve in five competitive rounds, including Red Light Green Light, the perilous Glass Bridge, and an all-out Warships showdown. The infamous Front Man oversees it all, tracking real-time rankings via an advanced custom system that keeps the tension high and the betrayals inevitable.

But survival doesn’t mark the end. After the games, guests transition into a Korean-inspired Night Market, where the atmosphere shifts from suspense to celebration. Think: neon lights, soju-based cocktails, street food-style bites, and a curated selection of Squid Game merchandise—including iconic tracksuits and replica Young-hee dolls.

For those who’d rather play from behind the scenes, the VIP track allows guests to don a mask and observe the competition with exclusive access and perks—without breaking a sweat.

After racing through high-stakes games and neon-lit markets, Kimpton Hotel Eventi offers the perfect counterbalance. Guests can unwind with craft cocktails at the sleek lobby bar, enjoy people-watching on the hotel’s elevated outdoor plaza, or indulge in a leisurely dinner at Skirt Steak, where Chef Tourondel’s prix-fixe menu and signature sauces redefine the classic cut.

Pair that with plush bedding, spa-style bathrooms, and skyline views, and the juxtaposition becomes part of the appeal: chaos by day, comfort by night.
