FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Of the 456 players that entered Season 2 of "Squid Game: The Challenge" on Netflix, four have Arkansas ties.

However, the Netflix reality version "Squid Game: The Challenge" lets contestants compete in reimagined versions of those games for a cash prize, without the life-or-death consequences of the original show.
Of the four contestants hailing from the Natural State, two remain uneliminated as of Nov. 6.
1. Reagan, Player 48 • Age: 26 • Occupation: Spa coordinator • Location listed: Arkansas • About: “I was a collegiate mascot for four years at the University of Arkansas.”
Reagan remains in contention as of Episode 4.
