“The ultimate winner needs nerves of steel, cunning strategy, and a touch of luck,“ Netflix says. “Are you up for the challenge?”
After competing, participants venture on to the Night Market and enjoy some Korean victuals and beverages, curated by chef Katianna Hong of the Los Angeles restaurant Yangban.
The experience happens at 200 N. Fairfax Ave. in Los Angeles, where the Television City studio complex is, and runs for a limited time. Tickets start at $39.
