Rumoured to be the platform’s most successful production to date, eagle-eyed viewers of the Squid Game have come together online to suggest that the famous multi-coloured stairs which contestants climb in every episode have actually been inspired by a housing complex called Muralla Roja de Calpe in Alicante.

Designed by world-renowned architect Ricardo Boffil, the complex holds 50 private apartments that share several interconnected patios.

The building has stood in the Valencian town for almost forty years, but it is unknown whether the Korean creator of the smash-hit show, Hwang Dong-hyuk, ever visited Alicante.
