Squid Game: The Challenge initially started with 456 players. And as the numbers drop, we begin to learn more about the contestants on the reality game show. One of the players we get to learn more about today is Player 056 aka Dylan from Squid Game: The Challenge.
Interestingly, the reality game show gives us a glimpse into the different players through confessionals and character bios. We also learn more about the players' jobs and the ultimate reason for joining the game show.
Here's what we know about Squid Game: The Challenge's Dylan (Player 056).
Who is Dylan from Squid Game: The Challenge?
While the player bios of the contestants show some really interesting information, Dylan Scanlon's occupation reads: "Momma's Boy."
The 23-year-old hails from New York. His bio on Netflix's page reads:
"Dylan has been struck by lightning. He loves going to the gym and cuddling, and he wants to put some of the prize money toward a big vacation for his mom."
Is Dylan Still in Squid Game: The Challenge?
Dylan's presence in the game becomes noticed in Episode 6: Goodbye. The remaining players go on a picnic with a chosen friend, which turns out to be a ploy for the next game: Marbles.
In Episode 6, Player 065 plays a game of Marbles against Player 399, Aurora. But as we see throughout the episode, the two keep disagreeing on how to play the game.
With just a few minutes left on the clock, the two decided to throw their marbles into a small jar, despite Aurora's reluctance at a game of throwing.
Unfortunately, the two could not agree on a winner. Neither Dylan nor Aurora would give up their marbles to the other, which led to the two of them getting eliminated from the game.
Those who were already able to watch the episode believe that Dylan was at fault in the game. His unwillingness to compromise with Aurora was what led them both to be eliminated. They also noted that he was condescending and misogynistic, and even gaslighted her.
