In a scene that looked like it could have come straight out of Squid Game, several fans of the hit Netflix show got into a violent knock-down, drag-out brawl while waiting to get inside a pop-up store based on the horror series.
The fight broke out on the streets of Paris as fans of Squid Game waited for hours in a line that stretched on for 700 feet, reports DailyMailOnline.com.
The pop-up Squid Game store gave fans an interactive experience playing the games featured on the show like Ddakji and the Honeycomb Challenge, and unlike the show – and while waiting in line – without the risk of being killed.
In videos taken at the scene, men and women are seen attacking one another, others attempting to break up the fights, and numerous fans simply fleeing the scene in fear for their safety.

This is why we can’t have nice things, like TV shows about games where you get killed if you lose, people.
