Who Won Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2?
Perla Figuereo (Player 072) won Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2, taking home the massive $4.56 million prize, the second-biggest payout in reality TV history. It’s honestly hard not to get caught up in the moment as Perla crossed the finish line, beating out hundreds who entered the games with nothing but hope and nerves of steel.

There was a stunned silence before it clicked for everyone: she actually did it! Her victory speech was all grit: "I always felt powerful, but now I’m like, ‘I’m powerful.’ I am never doubting myself any longer. If I say I’m gonna do something, I’m gonna do it." Watching her hug the other finalists, you could feel how much the journey (and frankly, the chaos) had changed her.
You could see that “I can’t believe it” look on her face, even as the confetti rained down absolutely wild finish.
Who Were the Final Five on "Squid Game: The Challenge” Season 2?
The final five standing were:
-
Vanessa Clements (Player 017)
-
Perla Figuereo (Player 072)
-
Steven Jones (Player 183)
-
Dajah Graham (Player 302)
-
Trinity Parriman (Player 398)
Each of them had a distinctive style. Vanessa was always the strategic social gamer, while Steven seemed unshakeably calm under pressure, even when you thought nobody else could hold their nerve. Dajah was that surprise dark horse, quietly making moves behind the scenes, while Trinity’s willingness to make big sacrifices brought out a lot of fan respect.

There’s no question: every one of these five earned their spot, and the range of gameplay this year was some of the series’ best. Huge props to all of them, those marbles, those alliances, those betrayals! If you were rooting for underdogs or masterminds, this crew gave you both.
