Prague locals and tourists were met with an unusual sight on the Vltava River over the weekend.

As part of a global promotion for the upcoming third season of Netflix’s Squid Game, two large inflatable dolls—resembling the show’s infamous Red Light, Green Light doll—floated down the river, drawing curious onlookers and dozens of pedal boat crews.

The figures, drifting past landmarks like the Charles Bridge, quickly became a photo magnet. Dozens of people on pedal boats steered closer to get selfies with the oversized dolls, which towered several meters above the water surface.

The Prague installation is part of a wider Netflix global marketing campaign for the new season of Squid Game. Similar pop-up events have appeared in recent weeks across cities including Tokyo, New York, Bangkok, Berlin, Rome, Jeddah, and Jakarta, according to Netflix’s official website.

One of the biggest gatherings took place in Seoul, South Korea, where thousands of fans assembled for a large-scale event. Although Prague’s floating dolls didn’t involve such crowds, the stunt still grabbed social media attention, with photos and videos circulating widely.

Poland’s capital Warsaw also joined in, showcasing Squid Game dolls and photo zones for fans. Meanwhile in Australia, viewers got the chance to play the notorious Red Light, Green Light game.

As reported by Netflixer.cz, Netflix is reportedly planning a dedicated Squid Game zone at the event, though full details have yet to be announced.

“Squid Game” will not be returning for another season. Series director, writer, and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk, in a letter to fans, had said Season 3 would be the series’ last.

Seasons 2 and 3 of the South Korean thriller were filmed back-to-back, hence the short six-month wait compared to the three-year hiatus between Seasons 1 and 2.
