The third and final season was released Friday, concluding the series that sees desperate people compete in deadly versions of traditional children’s games for a massive cash prize.

Director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he had “poured everything” into the series, which launched nearly four years ago. “So while it’s sentimental to see it end,” he said, “there’s also a sense of relief.”
