Delhi, December 19, 2024: Ahead of highly anticipated Season 2 of Netflix’s global sensation Squid Game, Swiggy Instamart, India’s leading quick-commerce platform, is bringing the thrill of the show to fans with special Squid Game merchandise available for delivery in select cities in 10 minutes. Adding to the excitement, Swiggy Instamart has introduced a one-of-a-kind immersive and interactive INSTAMAUT vending machine for fans in Gurgaon. This unique experience offers Squid Game fans in Gurgaon the chance to showcase their devotion to the show by participating in a dramatic death re-enactment, with a chance to win Squid Game merchandise.
Located at Cyberhub in the heart of Gurgaon, the INSTAMAUT vending machine offers Squid Game fans an experience unlike any other. The vending machine takes the shape of the iconic Young-Hee doll from the series, with the action for fans beginning with a tap on the screen—participants enter their name and prepare to dive into the excitement. They then watch an engaging instructional video, guiding them through the iconic death scene from Squid Game and take inspiration to create their own original dramatic “death scene”.
As they act, a radar system tracks their every move, and based on their dramatic flair, a fun message appears—either celebrating their spot-on execution or humorously encouraging them to ramp up the drama. Those who deliver the ultimate dramatic “death” are rewarded with a coffin-shaped box reminiscent of the one used in the series, packed with exciting Squid Game Season 2 merchandise! Inside, they’ll find a QR code that leads them to Swiggy Instamart’s Squid Game section, where they can order even more thrilling official merch from the Squid Game Store, delivered straight to their door in just 10 minutes! So guess what! So, guess what? You don’t need to “die”or go to such extreme lengths for fandom, it can now be easily delivered to you in 10 minutes.
Swiggy Instamart is bringing the Squid Game universe directly to fans’ doorsteps with a special Squid Game Season 2 collection, packed with special collectibles. Starting 19th December, fans can score must-have merchandise inspired by the show’s iconic moments, including mugs, sippers, and even some games from the series.
