Netflix x Sqiud game
We recreated the ‘Glass Bridge Challenge’ with experiential Smart Vending Machines
We teamed up with Netflix to bring the epic ‘Glass Bridge Challenge’ from the hit show Squid Game to life in London. Using our Vendmax™ smart vending machine, we turned this iconic challenge into a high-stakes, high-reward experience that had participants and spectators hooked.
Campaign
We used our custom Vendmax™ hardware to track participants’ steps as they crossed the recreated Glass Bridge. Smart vending machine tech allowed us to create a seamless and interactive experience for Netflix fans. The challenge was just as suspenseful and exciting as the original, but our tech ensured it was fun and safe for all.

The User Experience
The goal of the game is straightforward: step on the correct tiles to advance across the glass bridge. However, be cautious—one wrong move and it’s game over! Our app seamlessly integrates with our new stepper hardware, which tracks users’ steps. The farther they step, the greater the rewards.
