How many people were in squid game?

456 people were in the Squid Game competition.

Will they cover the deaths of the people if so explain how

Yes, the deaths of the players in the Squid Game are covered up by the organizers. After a player dies during a game, their body is removed from the area and their death is made to look like an accident or suicide. The families of the deceased are given a fake explanation for their loved one's death, and the bodies are disposed of in secret to prevent any suspicion or investigation. The entire operation is shrouded in secrecy and manipulation to ensure that the true nature of the games remains hidden.
