A new teaser for the highly anticipated reality series "Squid Game: The Challenge" has left fans intrigued as it unveils one contestant's secret weapon in their quest to win the $4.56 million jackpot. Based on the hit Netflix drama "Squid Game," the unscripted show features 455 players competing in a series of deadly challenges without the life-or-death consequences.

The exclusive clip, obtained by MailOnline, hints at a psychological element of torture as contestant 301 divulges a shocking secret - contestant 302 is none other than his own mother. Expressing his relief at having someone he can trust in the game, he says, "I don't know if everybody's going to have their mum in this game. I don't think so. So I'm lucky."

However, as the teaser progresses, contestant 301's initial relief turns to concern as he realizes the potential dangers of having a family member as a competitor. In particular, he worries about his mother's ability to keep up in the first challenge, a version of the infamous "Red Light, Green Light" game from the original show.

Named "Squid Game: The Challenge," the series faithfully recreates the same games faced by the characters in the South Korean drama. Contestants enter the game hall through a mesmerizing, multi-colored hallway, observed by guards clad in pink jumpsuits with obscured faces.

The trailer's voiceover warns viewers of a "savage game" filled with double-crossing and the need for strategic play. Contestants will compete in games such as "Red Light, Green Light," "Sugar Honeycombs," and "Hopscotch." The ultimate prize awaits the last player standing - a whopping $4.56 million.

Netflix, having unveiled the trailer, tweeted, "Make friends. Make enemies. Make millions." The streaming giant also announced that the show is set to premiere on November 22. However, some viewers expressed disappointment that Netflix had not yet released the promised second season of the original "Squid Game."

Controversy has also arisen around the filming conditions on set in the United Kingdom, as contestants claim to have endured freezing temperatures for prolonged periods. Variety reports that filming took place in below freezing weather, with contestants wearing only tracksuits and two pairs of socks. Some participants fainted, leading to concerns about safety and the experiences becoming increasingly inhumane.

Netflix has released a statement in response to the allegations, assuring the public of their commitment to cast and crew health and safety. The statement emphasized that appropriate safety precautions and aftercare measures were in place, and an independent adjudicator oversaw each game to ensure fairness.

"Squid Game: The Challenge" will captivate audiences with its intense gameplay when the first five episodes premier on Netflix on Wednesday. Fans eagerly anticipate the unfolding drama, as contestants face off against one another in pursuit of the coveted jackpot while battling the mental and physical challenges that lie ahead.
