NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Time is ticking to see whether you match up to player 456.
The Squid Game immersive experience in New York City will be closing the doors on its Herald Square location on Sep. 1, according to its website.
Based on the hit Netflix series of the same name, the Squid Game experience invites visitors to face off in five challenges inspired by the show, including Red Light Green Light, the Glass Bridge and Warships.
Players will feel like they've walked into the world of Squid Game with set recreations and familiar characters like the giant Young-hee doll.
Whether you win or lose, players will have a chance to recharge themselves at the location's Korean Night Market featuring soju-infused cocktails, Korean food bites, photos stations and a shopping area.
Tickets for the experience begin at $39 for general admission and can be purchased online.
