Free survival running game

Poppy Challenge 3D is a free-play arcade game developed XGame Global. Despite the name, this is not the classic Poppy Playtime game. Instead of hide-and-seek, you will play as Huggy Wuggy and participate in various survival mini-games.

Poppy Challenge 3D features the games from the Netflix drama Squid Game. These include Red Light, Green Light, Cookie Challenge, and Tug-of-War. However, some of these games are locked, and you can only access them by winning medals. Moreover, while the controls and gameplay are easy, the app is prone to glitching, making it hard to complete a challenge. 

Poppy Playtime meets Squid Game

Poppy Challenge 3D is a simple casual game that combines the popular horror game Poppy Playtime and 2021’s most-streamed Netflix series Squid Game. As mentioned, you will play as Huggy Wuggy and participate in various survival games. Among the challenges you need to take on are Red Light, Green Light, Tug-of-War, Glass Bridge, and the Cookie Challenge. Your goal is to reach the end without dying.

As it is a mobile game, the controls will be easy to understand. Most of the time, you are only required to tap the screen or drag your fingers on it. Although, note that each round is timed. You need to complete the level before it runs out, or you will fail. Additionally, the app is quite glitchy, and the controls are sometimes unresponsive.

Players also should know that only the first two games are unlocked. You will need to earn at least five medals to unlock the remaining challenge. You can earn the medals for every level cleared. You can also earn money to buy new clothes for Huggy Wuggy.  However, since this is free, expect lots of ads. Although, you can skip those by playing offline.

Should you play it?

Overall, Poppy Challenge 3D is your typical Squid Game-inspired mobile game. Although it uses a different character this time, the mechanics and controls are still the same. With this, familiarizing yourself with the gameplay is very easy. However, like similar games, the fun experience can turn into boring territory due to its lack of variety. It also doesn’t help that the app is prone to glitching and lagging.
