Although the famous Netflix series Squid Game has an age rating of 16 years and older, there are many younger children in Maastricht who want to participate in a game event of the series on the Markt.

There will be played ‘red light-green light’ on Saturday, better known in the Netherlands as Annemaria Koekoek. As long as the doll looks away and sings, you can walk. But as soon as she stops and looks at you, you have to stand still. Those who do not make it or are not fast enough are ruthlessly shot in the series. The game attracted some 400 spectators.
This is how the game goes:
12+
Initially, the gory South Korean series had a rating of 12-plus, but that was later corrected. It contains images of brutal violence, details of injuries, sex, attempted suicide and foul language. Not suitable for young children, says Kijkwijzer. That is why there is a lot of criticism on social media. Many people think it’s a bad idea to take children to an event that promotes such a violent series.
Not afraid
“I’m 11 years old and I have permission from my parents to watch. I’m not that scared and think it’s cool to see all of them,” says a teenager in the queue. Another eight-year-old boy has seen some of the series on TikTok, but his mother does not allow him to watch. “I know what it’s about and I’m disappointed that I can’t watch. I have to wait a little longer.”
Squid Game
The South Korean series is currently indispensable on the screen. In the series, hundreds of adults with deep debts are in a deadly game to win a big pot of money. They have to play six children’s games in which the losers are shot. So one of the games can be compared to Annemaria cuckoo.
