How to win Squid Game : Businesses Man : Hey wanna play a game? Gambler : No *The End*
Then your kidneys get stolen because you're still in debt
@@jayplays1710 uh oh
Gambling addicts don't think like normal people
Squid Game: GG
If you're not in you can't win....
So basically, the best way to beat this death game, is to just never gamble in the first place. Easy enough.
Basically yes

I mean i'm pretty sure they target vulnerable people who have nothing to loose so to them its free money.
Easiest way is to just live anywhere else. It's a joke
Ali being "eliminated" is more tragic the more you realize that he doesn't belong to the participants in the first place. He's just an unfortunate immigrant who tried his best to take care of his family but was caught up by bad circumstance. Compare that to the other players who have one part of their lives connected to their bad decisions
it was satisfying to see his boss get his hand crushed tho ^^;
thats a really shitty thing to say. being in debt is not a moral failing. all the other players don't deserve to be in the death games because they made bad decisions
dawg I don't think it was that deep 💀@@ishathakor

Do u not have any basic respect people got names u idiot if u dont know it dont say anything tf. and some people r really into the series so it is deep for them and for me also maybe not for idiots like u but i like the series and i felt it was deep and it was somehting we can all relate on ok. Dont ever call anyone dawg its not nice
@@fraggerlagger it obviously was? have you seen squid games?
We’re a couple years removed from it now and it was a trendy phenom so everyone saw it.. but this show was actually so damn good. This video popping up makes me want to rewatch
I enjoyed the show, though I thought it was a little overrated with how it carried its B plots. The main story was phenomenal though.
New season and prequel show coming soon :)
The last game was stupid.
I waited until a few months ago to watch it lol
I much prefer Alice in Borderlands
Ali's kindness was what killed him and that's heartbreaking.
Seriously made me so mad, I cried.
Thts why there is a sentence never be too kind to anyone who knows the opposite person has some other kindness to show 💔
I wasn't sad at all, he was too stupid unfortunately...
@@Filipas-el9sp daaaamn lol SAVAGE! But, I can see what you're saying. I actually liked the guy, thought the film did right by adding a character to represent trust, loyalty, and humanity. Unfortunately that's what killed him, just goes to show, in a game of life or death with money being the influence. People will disregard everything they know and love being blinded by greed and fear.
@@laz5518 I agree, I liked him as a personality. I just had a better thought. We can't actually say Ali was completely stupid, but only that the other guy was smarter and therefore acted like he found a solution. Hats off to him for making up a perfect plan of deception during all of this tension.
Tip to survive: be smart, be skillfull and be the main character

Pretty brilliant video. But what I noticed while watching the first death game "Green light, Red light" is that on "Green light" the doll turns it's head the same way every time (counter-clockwise). Meaning if the doll's motion sensor is activated the whole time it would be pretty wise to run along the wall that gets in the doll's view last increasing our chance to stop on time and not get detected.
Thing is that the players don't know if the doll is what's actually seeing them or not though. It could simply be a prop and the two guards at the sides of it are what's paying attention to the movement or not. WE see that it's the doll because when it turns WE see the eyes twitching and locking onto the movements. Best bet honestly is sprint to the side wall, making your way to the end away from everyone and crawl on all fours, would add stability to suddenly stopping and it distracts those behind ya with your cheeks giving you the edge.
Maybe it would work on last moment more effectively
For the marbles game, they didn't state that you have to keep your marbles. Just that you have to have you opponents. So, just exchanging the marbles would let both players win.
That's a fun loophole, I wonder what they would have done if someone tried that-
Nice loophole
liking the comment so i can come back to this.. just in case i ever end up as a participant lmfao
I have a STRONG feeling that would not be allowed. Just a hunch...
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 The rules don't forbid it. And we have multiple examples in the show that anything not explicitly forbidden is allowed, even if it gives you an advantage (hiding behind someone in the red light green light game, licking the biscuit, pushing people on the glass panels...). I don't remember anyone following the rules being killed by a guard.
I still find it hilarious that the doctor did so many things just to know the next game without realizing that all the games are literally plastered all over their sleeping room's walls.
The paintings were only added until after the games right?

At least in the English version, the rules of the marbles game had a loop hole. They simply state that you win if you can get all 10 marbles from your partner through a game of your choice. Thus, my approach would have been to team up with a friend and do a simple game that lets us both win each other's bag of marbles simultaneously ( e.g. I win if I can drop my bag of marbles on yours, you win, if you can catch my bag while holding your bag of marbles in your hand). After all, keeping your own 10 marbles was not stated as a requirement and it did not state you had to have a total of 20 either - you just had to get the 10 marbles of the other, so both could win at the same time :-) When watching the different games they came up with, I was baffled that nobody thought of that. But maybe the rules are phrased differently in the original language, not allowing such a win-win outcome...
Facts
Sooo good! Now I need to know how it’s translated bc if it is the same this is epic!
The game required you turn in 20 marbles at the gate and you may pass, only one of you can do that

@@alexiadaniel4585 he didn't deserve it man D:
It was brutal
Ali's betrayal was so dirty, that blind faith really does get you killed.
And naivety.
I thought Sang-Woo would find a way to get other people's marbles to make him and Ali pass the round. But he a business man he doesn't care about marbles, he cares about money
i find it sad tho as he saved the main character so i would think he goes out in a ''respectful'' manner but really it was just sang-woo
@@p3ter408 They wouldn't have handed it over to him without force. Ali was the only one trusting Sang-Woo, the others were complete strangers. I could see Sae Byeok pickpocketing others but Sang-Woo wasn't like that.
That was sad *sike*
36:06 also in this moment, the glassmaker could've tested the sound that the glass panel he is standing on with the marbble before throwing it, that way, if the sound differred he would've known that it is a breaking glass panel, and if the sound was the same, he could tell it was the safe way.
even if you stand on the glas over the steel beams the pressure of you would alter the sound. if the chance was 50/50 on the same height he could have tried to test the glass to his left.
Why did I just watch a 44 minute video of something I will never need
Me everyday (I watch this guys videos way too much)
Everyone is saying how the old man's death was sad, but what was really awful was Ali's death. Sang-woo did him so dirty all because he was down to 1 marble and about to lose the game.
Feels bad your first replies are bots haha
@@johnd3421 they got KZhead now

No hate! But it’s spelled Gi-hun
Another big strategy to beating the red light green light game is the song. Player 001 knew the song the doll was singing in between saying red light and green light so, even when the lyrics began to speed up, he knew when she was about to switch to the other light. It gave him an extra couple seconds to set his footing.
This storyline shows how crazy people are about money and how they'll do anything to get it, even killing others. A very interesting take on society.
Bingo.
I don't think it was about how people are crazy about money, it was about desperation and poverty. The people there weren't like just greedy people. The second episode where they all go back to their regular lives and realize how awful poverty is, and realizing they'd be better off taking an impossible chance to escape it, shows how it's a critique of capitalism specifically, not only of human greed.

I had no interest in watching the series, but seeing one of these videos I knew I would get a commentated resume with in-depth explanations of the workings of the games without having to watch it, which I love
XD true enough
Channel is called Cinema Summary and they are surprised they summarized the show
The fact that they actually let you go home after all that is honestly more scary than being trapped not able to i know that sounds weird but if they aren't afraid of getting exposed then that says something 😂😂😂
They probably stated in the contract they can't speak of it. Or get killed.
@@gcc2313, the contract only had three clauses. None mentioned confidentiality. The winner got an insane amount of money and the tax authorities never wondered why. And the games happen every year. The level of corruption in that universe must be as insane.
@@gcc2313 there doesn't exist any kind of a contract that is not completely void when it is against the law, signed by lying to you etc. Tl:dr just like they said in the video, the contract doesn't matter, it's just a psychological manipulation. it doesn't actually carry any legal weight and contracts do not matter at all outside of legal system.

Moral of the story: the cameraman and main character never dies
A necessary appreciation comment for Ali because we don't talk about him much. He literally slayed his role which is one of the most innocent character in the history of kdrama & the actor nailed it with that depth in his expressions **claps**
yes he was my favourite character, it's terrible he died. he was so kind and saved gi hun, he also had a kid. it was the most heart coldening moment when he realises sangwoo betrayed him.

I ain't an old man that has clear Protagonist armor where if I say that the game ends, it ends.
Hmm if they are broke, poor and already dieing on the streets, I rather die trying to win then die in a puddle of piss in the streets
I would rather have a slim chance of living a good life even if I have a high chance of dying than being certain to either die from starvation or live a bad life that you can't escape and I think the dumbest people are the people who joined as a team because everyone probably knows that only one of them will survive.
@@blazenfate IDK, the main protagonist is an auto assembly line worker. If he had no criminal record, he can definitely find a job working as a trainee mechanic or at the very least auto body collision repairer for minimum wage at first, then work his way up. He could move away from Seoul, the top 20 most expensive cities in the world to save on expenses and escape from his loan sharks. For the failed investment banker, he could just literally go to jail for fraud for 10 years, or move out of the city to escape from authorities. The investment banker literally has a degree from Seoul National University, even after going to jail he could just be a private tutor with his degree, and make at least $50 usd or more per hour tutoring kids. South Korean parents are crazy about education, and they spend a shit ton of money hiring tutors which I doubt are as qualified as him, as he basically went to the Harvard equivalent of Korea. I doubt anyone checks criminal history records when hiring private tutors, even if the parents found out, he was indicted for securities fraud which I doubt will disqualify him as a tutor if he offers a discount. The pakistani metal worker Ali had very little choice, but he can still make a living. The North Korean girl did not take advantage of government programs in South Korea to help escaped refugees and get a job in fast food/retail work so she can actually live with her brother. I think the only guy with a backstory in the games that has no other choice is the mobster, since he will be hunted down by the mob. In the end it was still greed, bad decision making, and the unwillingness to make a change in their lives that killed most of the contestants of the game. Then again, you don't get to that point in your lives due to not being greedy, lazy, and making good decisions.
@@seanl764 Bangladesh? I thought Ali said he was from Pakistan?
Sang woo didn't plan to deliberately kill Gi Hun by suggesting they take different doors. The game could have a limited number of winners per room for all he knew, and getting the whole group in one room means some of them have to die for the others to survive. He basically took the easiest route for himself and avoided a zero sum situation for the group.
Wow... I am so glad I found this. I was seriously worried what I might do if I found myself in a squid game. Now I know!

Ali's death was the most heartbreaking one. He trusted his friend with his marbles and was killed completely cold heartedly by him. And he had so much more to live for, a wife and a young son. His "friend" knew it and still stole his rightful win (life)
Their first mistake was trusting a dude with that much debt at stake ALSO wanted by the police. He's as dangerous as the criminal when it comes to desperation
Tbh, when i saw Ali for the first time, the first thought popped into my head was "Aww, he's gonna die first isn't he?" He's the only foreigner in a sea of Koreans, an obvious disadvantage in cultural knowledge and alliance. His respectful mannerism, kindness and trusting nature are indeed lovable but completely useless in a death game. A strong body but weak mind, leaving him the easiest target possible.
The thing is, there's no "rightful win" in those games imo, it's only survival and all the participants agreed to come back. Those games are twisted for sure, but come on, it's obvious you shouldn't trust anyone here in the first place. I don't blame Sangwoo at all, he was realistic and knew only one of them was going to get out of there alive.
i 100% agree
ali would've been fucked if he got out though, since he crushed his manager's hand in the steel roller
The glass was layered over the top of the metal bars. Simply step on the glass where you can see it’s in contact with the frame.
Smart
I never realized that Gihun could have just run to the end, although that probably would have resulted in Sangwoo being killed which is what he was trying to avoid.
Ali’s death is the most heartbreaking part of the whole show:(
he was my favourite character, it was when he died that i started to think sang-woo was the antagonist rather than deok-su
What makes it even sadder is just how predictable it was. Sang-woo was holding the betrayal card since the start and the buildup was really telegraphed, Ali was just too nice and trusting in the end. Seeing it coming just made his breakdown in not wanting to kill Sang-woo more sad.
True... I was crying when seeing Ali died. Feel bad though, since he and saebyeok weren't one of the people who got debt from negative actions such as doing bet.
@@phroggamer exactly what I thought

How to survive squid game: don’t trust a man in suit who challenges you to flipping a paper
The guy who played the flipping paper game is probably a red person and is one of the ∆ or O or ⬜. The mc shouldda picked red or smthn.
And he looks like someone that almost survived a train full of zombies
If it’s the same man in the suit I won’t mind getting slapped (but I still won’t join the game LOL)
How to survive: Save your money and don’t ever be in debt.
First of all don’t trust a zombie in suit.
Even ignoring the other strategies, you can maximize your chances of picking the right shape on the honeycomb game by using process of elimination on the shapes. You have a triangle, circle, star, and umbrella. Three of them are basic geometric shapes, so you can eliminate the umbrella as the odd one out there. From there, you have two shapes with straight edges and corners, and a rounded circle. The circle is the odd one out, so again, you can eliminate it. After that, you have the triangle, which is the most stable and one of the most simple geometric shapes, and a star, which has lots of concave sections and is a much more complex shape. Of those two, even not knowing the game, the triangle is a safer bet.
and then the game is to hang the form in a tree or not get wet from rain...
In the marble game, I'm surprised that no one tried to just exchange bags with their partners. Wouldn't this mean that both meet the win condition and survive? Worth trying it at least.
it's worth trying if they don't kill you at the end. but since they do, and most of them want to survive, that's why they decided to win no matter what at least those with a will to live, but the pink guys don't help much and also they actually wanted to reduce the players half the population, so i don't think they would let it pass(i really think you need them 20)
Pretty sure that the rules stated that you have to get all the marbles to win, but I watched the original version, not the english version.
The squid game biggest mystery is how the hell Jun-ho's phone battery didn't died🤔😂😂😂

Can't convince me that Deok-Su lost the ddakji game. There's no way he let someone smack him without beating him up in return!
I really wonder what would've happened if someone at the glass panel game actually wasn't heavy enough to break any of the glass, could you just carefully go on all fours and crawl over the glass to get across? Underweight people exist, it could be an advantage in that game + you'd be able to fool all other players by randomly going left or right.
That's probably not possible because the fragile glass could be specifically designed to break under very little weight, say 50lbs - even short and severely underweight adults are extremely unlikely to meet that threshold, and if they do they probably wouldn't have survived the tug-o-war or shank night.
@@maddockemerson4603 Not gonna lie If that type of glass exist. It’ll look incredibly slim. It’s hard to make 2 type of glasses look alike that will break in certain weight
I think Ali's death was sadder than Sae-Byeok, because at least Sae-Byeok's brother is in good hands with Sangwoo's mother while Ali's family is left to wonder what happened to him and didn't get anything to compensate their loss. The consequence of his death was sadder, but both of their deaths had me crying
AND he got tricked by the person he trusted the most. That's why Ali's death is the most devistating death of them all
I was shocked the main guy didn't do more to help them.
We literally watched sae byeok die in a slow and painful death. On top of that, Gi hun’s reaction made it even harder. The scene was perfectly executed, enough to make the audience feel their pain. Her death got to me the most, couldn’t stop crying. As tough as it was, at least Ali’s death was quick, one shot to the head and it was blurred in the background

How to beat squid game (for those who don't want to watch the full 44 mins) 1. Red light green light: stay low to the ground on the full surface area of your foot and stay away from people so you don't get sabotaged 2. Honeycomb: use your saliva to soften the cookie then carefully remove the shape 3. Nighttime violence: team up and stay in the corner so you only have 1/4 of the room to monitor and defend. take turns with your teammates to stay on guard so you can get rest 4. tug of war: lock your arms behind your thigh and lean back so you can use your entire body weight. The strongest person is at the back and they use an anchor lock. 5. 2 player marble games: partner up with your biggest enemy so you don't feel sad if they lose and play the game 'nim'. make sure you go first and remove 2 marbles then do the opposite of what your opponent does so you pick up the last marble. 6. glass stepping stones: choose numbers 10-13 for a higher chance of passing or get your shoes and tie them in your jacket and hit the glass to check if they're stable or not 7. squid game: if you win the coin toss, choose defence as it has a higher chance of winning since you don't have to run through a small gap. 8. collect your monayy CHEATS FOR 1,2,4 AND 5 1. Hide behind another player so you don't get spotted easily 2. If you sneaked in a lighter like the lady, stay somewhere you don't get caught easily and use it to heat up the needle 4. tie the rope to the bars on the side and use the bars as foot stoppers or communicate to your team before the match to try to predict what will happen so your team has back up plans. 5. if your teammate refuses to play nim or refuses to go 2nd in nim just secretly untie their shoelaces and get them to give you their marbles while they tie their laces so you can switch the pouches and give the guard their pouch. This comment is so late ;-;
Thanks nigahiga
Ali and Sae-Byeok's death was one of the heartbreaking moment I really sympathized for. Both of them were poor because a victim of fraud in foreign country... while the others came to the game mostly after being in debt caused by gambling.

A little fun fact about Squid Game: The scenario was ready back in 2009 but the author didn't have the money back then. And also it wasn't seen a scenario worth to make a series about so only after 10 years it came to life.
I'm sure it would have been ready given manga/anime like Kaiji and 'Battle Royale' as a genre was already well known
and it absolutely blew up :D
Oh wow thank for the info and I think it would be quite popular just like the anime n movie Amit Sunil mentioned. But I'm kinda happy it's released now as we don't get good shows anymore 😊
Huh i bet they feel pretty stupid now seeing how successful it became lmao
I thought it was 2008- I can’t trust random websites anymore
right when you got to the stepping glass, i thought "just use your shoes and slam them against each panel to see which one would break" boom
Side note: The handguns used here aren't actually pistols, they're revolvers. It's hard to see the handgun, but in some shots, you can see the cylindrical chamber behind the barrel. Side note 2: The steak knives can kinda be seen with a serrated edge at the left side, so anyone getting stabbed by this will experience *SEVERE* pain, if they even survive the initial stabbing.

I just now noticed that when Number 001, the owner, begged the players to stop killing themselves during nighttime violance, it was a command for the workers to interfere, since ya know, he's the boss
Also during the second game, Sang-Woo knew what game it was, but he still told everyone to spread in the four symbols. When he calls Gi-Hun and stays silent, is when he knows Gi-Hun would certainly die because he choose the umbrella but he felt that he needed to guarantee the death of the others to increase his winrate even though he is his friend.
He also the mc dad .when the mc asking for his name .he not telling him .
@@danipronobpro6423 he told him during the marble ep. him being the mc’s dad is just a theory
@@danipronobpro6423 he did tell him his name that theory is dumb
And he is the only one how "has shoot" without seen the corpses that moment I became very suspicious about the old man why everyone dies on camera and the old dying man just dont is show and blood dont splash every were
As much as I wanted a season 2. I really wanted Gi-hun to just board the plane.
Forreal
Like he just promised his daughter he would visit her and was like I'm sorry little one
he literally had another chance to be a good father
I get what u mean but he’s going back to destroy that empire that’s been running the game for decades….it’s worth it dude he’s saving lives
Oh on this cliffhanger there is definitely I'm sure of there's going to be a season 2 I got some ideas about it don't read the rest if you don't want to hear. So this is a WARNING:MY IDEA MIGHT BE A SPOILER IF IT DOES HAPPEN so this is my idea he plays the game again and he calls the number he Will probably be placed as number 456 but who knows so he sneaks in something like the girl did or covers himself with a mask but he keeps it in his pocket and when the gas turned on he can quickly put it on without breathing it in as soon as they stop he immediately throws it somewhere else and just to pretend to be sleep and once they do all the scanning stuff he like gets his things he sneaked in like you know a small little thing like a card gun but that's just my idea I got a little carried away
Though it is unconfirmed, it is theorized that the Marbles game is completely survivable for all players involved. While the rules state that a player must obtain all ten of their partner's marbles to win, they do not specify that you have to possess all twenty marbles in play, meaning that if two players simply swapped all their marbles with their partner, they would both be winners.
ive red its just a sloppy english translation. you need 20
Guards standing next to each other looks like the navigation symbols on a phone
Ali's death was literally the saddest thing in the whole entire show. Ali trusted sang-woo and sang-woo got him killed knowing Ali had a wife and a one year old kid 🤦🏾♂️ I hate sang-woo
Yeah, he was really sweet too
Na, his death wasn't as sad as Ji Yeong's, that was pure sacrifice, pure empathy and both women had shared harsh as fuck pasts and traumas with each other.
Maybe Sang Woo would've paid Ali's wife when he won...

Good lord... Gi-hun wasn't spending HIS money gambling (it was his mother's) and the phone call wasn't to celebrate his win, but rather to confirm he was meeting his daughter for her birthday.
love that you referenced train to busan, one of my favourite movies
As a former art student I absolutely LOVED the visual contrast between the game and real life. Everything in the game is filled with highly saturated color and exaggerated size to give an illusion of happiness of innocence (as if you are a child) while making you feel small and helpless. The real life scenes are gray and hopeless, despite the hopeful nature of life
I was actually in love with the set design. Especially Front Man's office based off an Art Deco aesthetic and the staircase hall which I'm pretty sure was highly inspired by MC Escher's "Relativity" ;)
100% agreed! This associated innocence also makes all those scenes terrifying with a specific flavor. I also believe that the settings (as you said, that they give that illusion of happiness and innocence) emphasize the psychological aspect of those games
sorry but I thought this highly saturated theming was highly counterproductive. the premise of the entire show is that these games could occur in real life, but the comical nature of the setting and goons make it hard to take anything seriously, not to mention the whacko soundtrack.
@@LinoLizard V J
@@harrysu7643 I don't think the premise of the show is that the games could occur in real life, I think quite the opposite. The front man explained how everyone gets a fair chance and is equal in here whereas it's not the same outside. So they believe this place is superior than outside. They play children games and the setting seems to be more child-like so I think it's suitable.
Time flies by, it's been 2 years squid game relased
I would've tried to win the marble game by exploiting the concept of gganbu. The goal of the game is to obtain all of the opponent's marbles without violence. Also, the second rule of the death games is relevant. If you don't play, you die. Therefore, I would pick a game that isn't decided instantly and doesn't involve luck. Nim is perfect since it'd also work as a plan B. I'd propose Nim to my partner and tell them that I have a plan which will let us both live. Then I will play a few rounds, fulfilling the second condition of the games. Then I'd talk to my partner and make them agree that we are gganbu. Then I would walk up to our referee and tell them that we have played and concluded that we are gganbu. Therefore everything of ours is shared. We both have all of the marbles and therefore have our opponent's marbles as well as our own, and we have both won. If this is refused, I would continue with the game of Nim and hopefully win.
"They are not playing squid game they are playing kill your child hood friend game" you described that the best way it could be described lol!
U know deez
No it's Childhood games but if u are eliminated u are ded
HE WAS SO TRUE
Stoleb
Oa
The marbles were the most screwed up emotionally, but the glass bridge was the most screwed up fairness-wise. Given that the last 3 people were the only ones that lived, they didn’t even give the people who more wisely chose the safety of the middle jerseys an advantage. It was the only game that was virtually all luck
The scond one too, picking the umbrella was almost instant death and picking the triangle was an easy win. Same with the glass. Picking 14,15 or 16 is an easy win while 1,2,3 are almost 100% death
@@snoxh2187 unless you worked with glass for 30 years, that is
The glass bridge pissed me off. Especially because the bad guys even talked about making sure the games were fair. Utter bullshit
@@0owmjapo0 lol right, if they were all about fairness then why the hell did they make a game that's 100% luck based
@@adumba3709 that's my point 😂 not only are those guys sadistic. They're hypocrites as well.
As someone who used to be involved in a lot of group fights, the best way to be safe in a fight like the nighttime one in Squid Game is to gtfo out of the way. Unless you’re exceptionally big and powerful, and especially if it’s a fight where you could get seriously hurt or killed, leave. Everyone has their weak spots and it’s always possible to beat someone bigger than you, but a group is so unpredictable - especially like this nighttime fight when you have no real allies - that getting out of the way is the only safe option. Best bet is to climb high up in those bunks. It’s way out of the eyeline of those on the floor, and if you’re against the wall and still you won’t be seen. Hiding down low is less safe. Ps: judging by the entire series, the only way to win is not to play, as a 1980s computer once said. And stay out of debt!
Thanks for this review, it's just like watching the whole movie and with explanations to the story ❤
Actually, during the green light game, i think the safest option is to go towards the right wall as the doll rotates her head towards the left. This means that shell be looking at the left side first, so people on the right side will be harder to be spotted moving
Good one.
Also the wall could be used to keep yourself still if you wanted
Wouldn't it also give you marginally more time to move as it is turning around?

But they could've easily switched it up and did the opposite side first.
The glass bridge game actually punished the players for eliminating their competition. The more players there are, the higher chance the average player has of survival.
not necessarily true, because their was a time limit, a time limit that the 16th person only just made it to the end in time for. Meaning anybody extra that survived up to that point (assuming all events play out the same) just mean people at the end of the line who don't make it in time.
@@CrypticCobra That is possible, though I think we would also see more people from the back running up and pushing people in the front sooner if that were the case
True up to a point. As already mentioned the time limit is something to be considerate of. If nobody pushed the religious dude or the mafia dude they never would have made it.
The time limit was 16 minutes, which seems to indicate that more player would mean more time
@@CrypticCobra while it’s true there was a time limit, something to take into consideration is that the time limit was 16 minutes, and given there were 16 players playing the game, that means 1 minute for every player left going into the game. It could be entirely possible that they made this time limit so that it could have been seen as a punishment for eliminating more of their competitors. Example: Let’s say the Midnight Brawl never happened and we had 108 going into Tug of War. Let’s also assume that the same in-between deaths happened after Tug of War and two teams lost both people as in the actual show. This would leave 21 people remaining, so they could have given 21 minutes for the remaining competitors to cross the bridge rather than the 16 they were actually given.
Bro, the second last game has such a CLEAN solution with what the glass maker mentioned. You have 20 marbles from the previous game for a reason. Take 2 to know what the sounds are, take the others to match the sound. If you're not a glassmaker, it's 50-50. If you are, it's a 100%
One of the BEST videos I've watched great work!
Game Makers: this game assures fairness and equality. Glass maker : figure out a way to actually win with skill, the game makers remove his advantage and then on top of that gets YEETED by another player.
That's political/economic commentary. The poor find a way to advance themselves rapidly, the rich, who control "the game" take away their advantage to keep them destitute and at their service.
@@deviantmoore9744 and still say that this is unfair
@@deviantmoore9744 also one person didn’t get picked and skipped a whole game
@@deviantmoore9744 You are so right
@@deviantmoore9744 Are you a rich person?
The most obvious rule in surviving is being the cameraman himself.
Underrated
before I even realized what the game is, I thought that the traingle would be best. I mainly thought that because of the triangle masks though to be honest... 15:10
Camera man is invisible potion that’s why they broke it into show
DUH OBVIOUS
and being the protagonist too
The fact that there was no rule against eliminating other contestants in the dorms was the dumbest thing ever. Imagine if all the players killed each other off, or 90% of them did. Now you have basically no players for the rest of the games, and it's just boring for the hosts if like, 2 were alive for tug of war and they had to cut the competition short. It was a really lazy way to kill off a portion of players. That scene always bothered me so much.
Voting to leave on the glass game because of “50% odds” as discussed at 35:00 would not work because the odds are different depending if you go first or last. The people that go last would not vote for this easy win.
Yes, but the expected number of deaths is nine, which is a majority.
If I understand the rules right, this requires a majority vote rather than an unanimous vote. Even if the participants near the end consider this an easy win, they'll get outvoted.
the first person has a 1 to 512 chance by the way cause its 9 binary choices.
Simple, just do what the gangster did and refuse to move. Even if you're threatened by the guards or the other players you die either way. The person behind you can make the same decision and it continues until everyone is basically forced to agree.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if he made a “How to beat squid game police officer version”? Where he basically just do it from Joon-ho’s perspective

I wonder if he actually is alive..? He was shot yes, but what if it wasn’t directly at the heart and somehow miraculously he survived? He wasn’t shown to fully “die” but it could just be my wishful thinking for him to reunite with his brother again 😔

How to beat the Squid Games: Watch the show so you can see how the main character beats Squid Games, I guess?
During the Gnanbu incident in marble game, I really got emotional... that shit was touchy as hell..
Notice how when the old man cried out for the fighting to stop the guards came in. Hindsight showed me that he had some type of power
Exactly. His way of commanding the end of the violence.
When I saw it I thought it was a "okay, finally someone is pleading to end the massacre as we intented, now we can do it". But in hindsight it makes a lot of sense.
i love how his power was just blatantly shown to us at first, yet his identity was so well hidden that a lot of us didnt expect it
When I first saw that I was confused and couldn’t think of an explanation why

The moment Sang-woo betrayed Ali was the most heartbreaking moment
The moment Ali looked in the bag and discovered stones instead of marbles... fuk
Ali was such a kind person and trusted sang-woo so much, but was betrayed. I feel bad for his wife and child
Agreed! That was cold as f. And he knew Ali had more to live for, a family with a young son. :(
My sis was in tears before he even died knowing that Sang-woo was the name of a sadistic ass dude from a webcomic. She called it and said he was gonna screw Ali over when he started yelling at him. She wanted to say Ali should have argued they didn't play for the marbles and that technically Sang-woo just stole them but it was too late 😂
@@KINGJERMARCUS nobody will ever care if you keep self promoting on unrelated comments like this.

i simply love this channel. Outside of dicovering mindblowing strategies I also get to know something interesting like the thumb distance measuring trick or the candle experiment, keep doing what you are doing because these videos are not only entertaining but also very profitable for the brain.
The first game was definitely the most unfair. Imagine you catch on right away and you're prepared to stay still, but then you just get swept up in the terrified mob running for the door because you can't do anything to dodge them without being shot anyway.
I was thinking that too. I’d just drop and curl up and try to protect myself until the crush stopped.
That's where it helps to be big. I'm ~5'10" but not far from 300 lbs. Most of those competitors would be smaller than me, making it easier to knock them aside if they try to rush through me. Granted, I'd be done for in the glass game, but the rest I'd do well at. I jump like a house.
@TimedRevolver 5'10 you're short... and obese... trust me you won't last against most men 1 v 1. Let alone a Mob.
@@DirtyMikeandTheBoyz 5'10" is average height, not short. And sure, I'm obese, but you act like men my size are incapable of moving. Trust me Skippy, I might lose the fight, but you'll never be the same again.
