The Irish TikTok star told DailyMail.com what it was like to be on the show Mikie Bowe, 36, was allocated Player 254 in the game show version of the series Squid Game: The Challenge was the hardest thing that I have ever done in my entire life. I decided to apply after seeing a casting Irish TikTok star Mikie Bowe was allocated player 254 in Squid Game: The Challenge The father-of-five, 36, said he assumed the competition was going to be child's play - but none of it was a game There followed months and months of background checks, including a medical, and production bosses trawling through my social media accounts. He said Red Light, Green Light was the hardest challenge that he competed in Mikie shut down talk of 'fixing,' claiming he crossed the line in Red Light, Green Light with Player 302, LeAnn, who some contestants have claimed was given a free pass Then it was time to play the infamous Red Light, Green Light - and filming really did take ages. The full-time care giver said he bonded with his competitors in between challenges - which thwarted his game plan The players were forced to eat, sleep and game on the demand of the guards Mikie claimed the players were shocked after being confronted with Warships when they believed they were walking into Tug of War, which featured on the drama series I hate that people are calling it rigged.
