Between January 19 and 24, 2022, the Squid Craft Games took place, an event in Minecraft inspired by the hit series “Squid Game” created by South Korean director and screenwriter Hwang Dong-hyuk and released on Netflix in 2021.

SCG lasted six days, where all contestants connected at the same time on a Minecraft server to compete in a series of minigames focused on psychological horror, skill, logic, and other dynamics that pushed their emotions to the limit, eliminating each other until only one winner remained. With more than 150 content creators participating, this first edition was a Twitch Rivals event featuring a $100,000 prize for the winner. The main faces of the project were Auronplay, Rubius and Komanche, who took SCG to the top and positioned it as the most-watched Minecraft event to date.

It peaked at 2.2 million simultaneous viewers, averaged 1 million viewers, and reached over 18 million hours watched in just 17 hours on air.

The Squid Craft Games, developed by Eufonia Studio, were awarded Best Miniseries of Content at the Esland Awards, where it received 89.15% of the votes cast by the community and streamers.

In addition to these achievements, SCG broke personal records for many of the participants in the "peak viewers" category. On the final day of the event, some of these were:

  • El Xokas, with 1,208,144 simultaneous viewers.

  • Auronplay, with 602.956 simultaneous viewers.

  • JuanSGuarnizo, with 409.967 simultaneous viewers.

  • ElSpreen, with 200.918 simultaneous viewers.

  • Rubius, with 179.378 simultaneous viewers.

The Squid Craft Games were inspired by the series “Squid Game", and to recreate the experience that more than 150 content creators would go through, completely customized maps were built. Not only from the children's games seen in the series but also including cultural challenges from different countries.

SCG was a turning point in the history of Eufonia Studio. This massive event was carried out with just one developer and two artists. It was executed in Vanilla Minecraft with the help of a resource pack for the art, and to this day, it remains one of the team's greatest achievements.
