Crab Game

Crab Game is an action survival game created by indie developer Dani as a response to the tremendous popularity of the Netflix TV series Squid Game. Even though it bears a different name compared to the show and the creator denies it has any connection with the Netflix show, the game follows the same structure as the fictional game show that has gripped the attention of the world.



The game presents the player with a wide variety of children's games that slowly lead to the elimination of active players until only one winner remains. Developed from the ground up to run on a wide array of desktop computers and laptop hardware, this is a perfect game for users who just want to find some fun in an online environment with their friends.



While most of the games that have taken inspiration from this TV show are focused on the arena/puzzle online experience, Crab Game focuses more on first-person multiplayer survival that can host up to 50 active players that can compete on 28 innovative maps and nine gameplay modes.

The biggest difference is that here every online participant can hold a weapon in their hands (such as bats and guns), making each online arena much more deadly. Players are free to join public games or host their own games. This second option is preferred for players with a strong internet connection that can handle incoming gameplay data from a large number of online players.

• Up to 35 players
• 28 Maps
• 9 Game-modes
• Server List
• Milk

The gameplay of Crab Game closely follows the rules from the show, where active participants are slowly whittled down until only one victor remains. During the gameplay, players can chat among themselves using a built-in proximity audio chat option.



Fans of the Squid Game will find a lot of entertainment in this title. The newly added element of handheld weapons brings the action and atmosphere in online matches to another level.

Users should be aware that some players have reported being the target of DDOS attacks when they elected to host a Crab Game server. Essentially, this game can pose a clear risk to digital safety and internet functionality.
