Squid Game fever overtook Sydney on Thursday with over 300 red guards storming the city from the popular South Korean series.
The eerie convoy made a dramatic entrance on Sydney Harbour as they escorted the infamous doll from the series on a harbour barge.
The unsettling spectacular marked the arrival of Squid Game: The Experience, set to open at Luna Park on Saturday, December 14.
It is just in time to stoke excitement ahead of the second season premiere.
The gripping series follows a group of players competing in a fight-to-the-death competition in which one person will take home a huge sum of money – while everyone else dies.
Last month, the release date for season two was finally revealed as Netflix dropped a grisly new trailer.

Nearly three years after the series took the world by storm, the streaming giant has revealed the show will return globally on Boxing Day.
In the new trailer, a new group of recruits are seen, with a guard extending a ‘heartfelt welcome’, before panning to a familiar face – Hero Gi-hun, who has returned as Player 456.
The trailer then shows one of the original challenges and Gi-hun taking control and trying to guide the fellow competitors through trials.
But trouble soon erupts as fellow players accuse him of working for the games master.

And, as the guards watch on, the mastermind behind Squid Game watches over the players, who panic and fight among themselves.
The trailer then shows a series of gruesome murders, brawls, gun fights and terrifying games, ending with Gi-hun sweaty and panting in the dark.
A synopsis of season two revealed: ‘Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.’
Squid Game director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who made history at the 74th Primetime Emmys as the first Asian to win Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, returns to the series as writer and director.
Season one of Squid Games earned 14 Emmy Awards nominations and it won six prizes including Best Drama actor, Best Drama Guest Actress, Best Drama Directing as well as awards for production design and visual effects.
