It feels like EVERYONE is talking about Squid Game, the Korean action / drama about a deadly series of children's games. I've seen other channels take a swing at explaining the series and figuring out the best strategy to surviving until the end, but I felt like I needed to try and figure it out myself. There had to be a perfect winning strategy. Theorists, I think I've found out the ULTIMATE way to survive to win the Squid Game!

Poor MatPat never played "Explosive Glass Bridge" as a kid?! Who would have guessed it?
Sad how the new generation is missing out on all the things we did as kids
@@notBrandonNova Seriously!
Back in my day we didn't even have glass! We had to make the panels out of toothpicks by hand! In the snow! Uphill both ways!

"If the glass expert shared earlier, everyone could have survived."
Except once the game-master realized what he was doing, they turned out the lights. Waiting until there were only a few panels left was actually the most sound strategy for his own survival.
Ohhhh

A small thing I loved in squid game, when all the glass shattered at the end of the 5th game, people actually got cut. So often in movies/shows glasses is treated as harmless and it was cool that it was shown that glass is actually pretty dangerous
Yea, I remember watching and thinking, "that is so dangerous someone couls get hurt." Somehow is was surprised when someone actually got hurt.
@@yeemawheaver1387 “is was”
Yeah that was a really bad scene that broke the narrative but contributes to the socioeconomic message
@@gaberobison680 how?
It was horrible that that stupid glass explosion was the catalyst for the death of my dear Sae-byeok
But when the detective was looking through the files of previous games, every single one only had one final winner. Something tells me the whole thing is rigged to ensure just one winner remains in the end, and also to give the contestants a harder time to better entertain the V.I.P.s.
something tells you? you mean everything about the game?
@@BrianaLynn7 Well yeah, cause technically more than one person can survive. Although the previous games all had only one winner which is suspicious.
"Ignore Sangwoo"
No, yeah, he's got a point
th-cam.com/video/MKGqTpUHZ2k/w-d-xo.html
I got a chuckle too but he wasn't dumb imo he was evil. Of all the people there even the thug guy he was the most evil. Everything about him was a fraud and he collateralized his mother's property to cheat the markets. Everyone else kind of had either a rough life or fell in to their debts.
i feel like in a situation like this where everyone is against each other u gotta ignore the smart ppl bcuz they r only gonna keep the good solutions for themselves
Well hes dead now so were good
During the Tempered Glass game, I'm still surprised nobody tried to walk on the beams holding the glass
th-cam.com/video/XvF7xlZ9PWM/w-d-xo.html
.
i mean, it wasn't against the rules as far as we know, so it's actually pretty dumb no one did it
im surprised that 400 hardened criminals didnt charge the 5 guards at the start .......im also surprised the only bad person in 400 people was a big buff dude XD .....who fell in love with a sterotype of an evil catfish woman ......im also surprised that no one could figure out the old man with " number 1 " on his jacket was the bad guy. but most of all im surprised people pretend that they liked this XD
@@bladoodyscabloody1143 idk about hardened criminals, gang members for some maybe but I think it's mostly just people who rode to close to the sun and wasted money
@@bladoodyscabloody1143 wonder how it feels to just hate everything and be a total badass
You know what's interesting about the games? Half of the games had a guaranteed 50% survival rate while the other half had a potential 100% survival rate
That’s kind of the idea. The ideal thing is to help everyone survive. Even if no one unnecessarily dies, you get a ton of cash. MrBeast did it wrong when he said only one person could win
That’s literally what he said…
I just thought that this isn't something that the frontman would have allowed. The glass panel game showed that. Mattpat is right that this goes against everyone having a fair chance thing but so does allowing a fight between participants outside of the game. It's a lie anyway. The frontman wants a show and not Teamwork . There is a reason why there has only been one winner every year. They make sure of that and lie that multiple will/can win.
So, in best case scenario - 57 people survives, each getting a bit more than half a million USD. But 399 people die. Well, in the series there were 55 deaths more, taking into account that 001 was not killed.
@@IulianYT plus it would never be on everyones minds that everyone should survive. to many of them (including the doctor) a half million would not sound like much
When you're complaining about the "unfairness" in the glass scene the oligarchs wanted to be entertained they're essentially stock holders and we all know companies like to keep their shareholders happy even if it costs a few people their jobs (lives)
Which is really realistic companies get toyed with to make investors happy ideally this wouldn’t happen
It could also represent how unfair life is due to its 50/50 chance with each panel and how only a few people actually achieve success from the masses but that’s completely open to interpretation
I love how when MatPat can't find a brand, he'll just sponsor the entire fricking product. EVERY brand that makes USB power-banks is sponsored by MatPat.
Am the first reply :]
True
@@THECRINGERAILWAY lol
W
u mean everyone sponsors him. if he sponsored all the powerbank brands hed become broke
I think the concept of Squid games is that the Game masters pretend that it's fair, when it's not. It's all about entertaining the rich guys - which is why they turn off the lights on the glass bridge.
Basicly it's about capitalism
BTW I cannot like your comment it's at 69 and I don't want to ruin it
It was "fair" while the front man was ib charge, and got unfair when the rich men showed up.
@@Moni-ob7xi No, it's more like communism
or any country with big government.
@@rexventura4603 let me guess, socialism is when the government does stuff, and if the government does enough stuff, it's communism?
@@rexventura4603 I’m considering socialism as when all property is owned by government

Sung-Woo was smart, but he was too focused on eliminating the people around him instead of using them as a buffer against the next challenges. Like you said, the more people around you to take the hits, the more likely you are to survive. He just wanted to get rid of the people around him since they were easier to manipulate (he had their trust).
I don't think so...
He done that only in 1 game(that shapes game) and in that game no one actually got eliminated.
Apart from that it's the situations which demanded. He never targetted anyone of his teammates.
Exactly. Sung-woo is smart, but intelligence doesn't stop you from your primal self and your selfish instincts, like greed. He wanted all the money, and no one else to take it, and he was inherently distrusting.
One thing I've always thought was annoying was how, with the glass panel game, they have to take their shoes off but nobody even thinks to take the shoes with them and try to even just throw them at the glass. The rule was the can't be wearing their shoes, but nothing was said about not being allowed to carry them with you.
That’s exactly what I thought as well
I'd have certainly tied the laces together and used them like nunchucks to slam the glass from far away.
@@SomeTH-camTraveler dats smart
That's why they had the bonus games between rounds: to reduce the number of players to the correct amount. When players got too creative the Front Man intervened. If the players knew ahead of time there will only be one winner/survivor all of the married couples would have noped out or in desperation sent only one spouse. The illusion of multiple winners is what gave the players false hope.
th-cam.com/video/DtmJCS1EsAI/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/LjIM-s8yUUs/w-d-xo.html
Theoretically, couldn't there have been multiple winners? What reason do we have to believe that there can only be one winner? Unless I'm forgetting something, if there were 4 players where that one dude killed the girl who got stabbed with glass and neither of them attacked the other, the squid game would happen and there would be two winners.
th-cam.com/video/ksGRCZqNQfE/w-d-xo.html
@@SeraphicViews
If there were multiple winners they would have just changed the game until they could ensure only one winner.
The games aren't announced until after they already know how many people are playing.
Hi! I worked with glass for a living (came from a master glazier family). Anyway, weird thing about glass--the edges of glass are super weak to focused pressure, so that's a no go. BUT!!! The easiest ways to tell tempered glass from non-tempered glass are actually super simple (probably because safety glass is designed around safety). Anyway, tempered glass always gets stamped in the corner, and in the rare case that that didn't happen, it's always got smoothed edges. Now, here's the fun part. They clearly could only go so far in terms of how much they could dictate the construction of these challenges, and they would also be limited by simply not knowing what to ask about how the glass would need to be modified for a death game (no stamps, no smooth edges). Without knowledge, the rich people would probably end up trying to just make sure to buy high end materials and, in a funny twist, get glass that was definitely made to code. In other words, the easiest ways to identify tempered glass would probably remain.
So, armed with this knowledge, you go in, and you immediately start jumping onto the stamped glass. And once they see that you've got a visual cue, they hit the lights. Those panes aren't very far apart, so you've still got options. The next step is just reaching out and running your hand along the next pane. The safety glass won't cut you, and the breakable stuff will.
Anyways, Iiii just wanted to share that in a place I was a little more confident I wouldn't get yelled at by someone on the internet. Because apparently glass knowledge is uncommon, and knowledge should be shared.
This is all really cool ^^. Didn't know edges of glass were so fragile. Getting cuts on your hands is definitely a lot better than going splat too lol
@@norwaysmith2421 I'd say so--honestly glass cuts don't hurt a ton? They're super sharp, so the scary part isn't the cut itself, but being careful not to let it be too deep or bleed too much. Not ah... not a fun lesson to learn there.
Anyway, yeah, like, SUPER fragile edges. You would not believe how many windows I've fixed that spiderwebbed in from the edges because the glass got just a liiiittle too compressed from the seasonal shift in temperature.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :)
Thanks for sharing!
Unless you're an Asian glass maker toward the back of the line, of course.
BUT MATPAT,
If the tempered glass guy revealed his knowledge earlier in the glass game the directors would have just taken away the light he needed, which would probably make everybody panic resulting in nobody making it across.
About the pictures on the walls, they only got revealed as more and more people got eliminated and didn't show the order of the games while giving a vague description of them
While it's extremely easy for us as theorist watching from the comfort of our homes without the fear of danger to theorise loopholes to try and beat the games, you have to remember that the people in the games are all tired, beat up, scared and emotional. This can be seen in the very first recruitment scene, when Gi Hun is so angry and being slapped that he can't think clearly and nearly gives up 100 000 just because he wants to get his revenge.
Not to mention they were starved and just fed enough to not die 🤣🤣🤣
The mastermind was 001 all along.
True, but what you should also recognize is, that those people had all day long with nothing to do but to come up with plans and strategies to beat those games. After the first shock is gone, people would and should talk all day about strategies and what to do and not do in what cases. The series started out with Kang Sae-byeok (067) to try to collect information between the games (leading to her find out about the honeydough), just to drop this attempts alltogether and her sitting around doing nothing for the rest of the show, for instance.
@@prinegonbevaris1788 hard to come up with strats when you don't even know what the game is going to be.
Sneaking off to the bathrooms would have been ceased or caught on if they tried it every time. It would just be impossible.
Especially if they pulled a sneaky like the "partner up" to throw players off.
The best thing players could have done was just not come back to the game.
@cnmmd qiuoo no the rule was you have to have all 20 marbles when the time ends.
For the red light green light game, my idea for a strategy is walk fast, don’t run. Running will make you slip up easier because your body is not used to stopping at that speed, walking fast makes you take true and even steps, that you can stand in, also the time limit is long, so you’ll probably be able to make it with this too. Second, stay close to the wall, so you have something to hold against if worst comes to worst
Good strategy, but walking next to the wall is only good if you started the game beside or close to the wall already, as walking from the centre to the wall is going to take a lot more time than just walking forward
As someone who used to play games similar to red light green light, I did this and it definitely works. Just don't be to close to anyone, they might push you bc that's all people did for some reason
I always used to win this game by walking on all fours so I had more points of contact with the floor to stop me wobbling. Not the fastest method but obviously you don’t need to come first in this, just make it in 5 minutes
This. Basic recess strats. Works 90% of the time!
and you should not be in running stance your stance should be loaftly as possible so you can easily stop it
The show is without question a masterpiece but no I do not wish for a sequel. It is perfect to end like this, a sequel most likely will just ruin it.
Finally, someone that understands the way K dramas have worked for decades. A second season is almost insulting.
I personally think this show has potential for a season 2. The fact we know these games go on all around the world. Be interesting to see Gi hun and Jun ho try and stop these very powerful corrupt elites
@@parasite1129 My 2nd reason is biased, I won't watch Squid Game without Ho Yeun Jung! haha
@@parasite1129 And did the police that went undercover on the island and survived discovered the island's coordinates? (I forgot if he did or did not)
@@vph6823 I don’t remember either I’m afraid. I recall he got loads of proof what was going on in the island though
If the glassmaker uses his knowledge from the beginning, the Front Man would have dimmed the lights sooner, so the dilemma would remain.
The glass tiles game was like hopscotch.
Oh yeah, also, he was afraid to go first beacause people might push him before he decides. So he waited until he met more trusted people.
Most people’s motives for their decisions made conplete sense, people just love to twist their decisions into a bad thing. Glassmaker was a smart man, he just went a tiny bit too early
Fun fact: in the last game-- namely called squid game-- there can only be one winner. you can start in teams of defensive and offensive sides, but only one person can touch the end to be the sole victor. I think the game makers always choose games where there can be one winner as the final game because there was only 1 winner per each annual squid game in the records room that the Junho found.
edit: so i’ve been informed by a few replies that the whole team wins when someone makes it to the end. but my family and i play with only one winner so ig rules can vary depending on how u wanna play:)
What if the defense wins?
@@pct87 Fight to the death
The reason is the game loops with the ones who survive fighting each other until one left
SPOILERS
Yeah, I figured that was the deal when the cop saw the files of past victors. Only one per game.
Still, you would want as many other payers in the game up until game 6. Both points are true.
I also wondered the same thing with the beam but the game runners probably would have done something. They did turn off the light when they found someone getting around not knowing which glass is which
Ohhhh
th-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/w-d-xo.html
……………
Yeah but like he said in the video... Not allowing the ayers to make use of their own intellect and actually purposely sabotaging them is against the equality rule. Makes no sense.
Oh for sure. The game was set up for the VIPs enjoyment and gambling. People were bound to die in this one even if they used the support beams.
Probably electrified or smth
Thw guy who can difference the two glasses should have to use his jacket zipper hitting the glass to hear both. Or use the marble first in his glass (which was safe) and then in another. IDK if danger of death can justify that someone expert in glass cannot think about making that. (sry for the bad english).
one thing I noticed while watching squid game: in the marble game, both players could have just given each other their bag and both of them would have their opponents 10 marbles. They never said you had to have all 20.
They said exactly that. The one to have 20 marbles in the end, wins.
each of them could have 10 marbles, and no one gets eliminated, thats if a plot twist happens and both of them get eliminated.
@@sherlockholmes882 Hm, in the Russian translation they say - "the game is called *TEN* marbles", "the scope of the game is to get *TEN* marbles from the opponent", and she repeated it twice. From this input - it seems that the players could just switch pockets and game over.
@@IulianYTscripts are slightly different in other countries, seems the russian script mestup.
There's just one problem: how do you think is someone gonna convince all of those other people who quite obviously have murderous tendencies or trust issues to see it your way.
The glass game reminded me a bit of hopscotch, or "the floor is lava", or "step on a crack, break your mother's back!" so it worked for me as a children's game. I also did not like that they turned off the lights, but I think that was shown to be done for the VIP's benefit. The glass explosion at the end just felt like cheating though.
Yeah. It was cheating. That's the whole point of the series. Literally everything in the games is unfair and arbitrary, despite the Frontman's script.
The glass explosion is the "Get rid of Timed out players" elimination. Deok-Su was the one that intentionally brought them closer to timing out.
The lights were turned off because a player an unfair advantage. He made glass for 30 years and can see the difference.
I hated that too, but that’s exactly what they were trying to accomplish, so they succeeded
I don't know why they didn't just walk on the beams between the two walkways. It really wouldn't have been that hard
@@sorrenblitz805 They know why the lights were turned off they just said it was unfair either way
I think no matter how many of players make it through the five games, they would have devised a game in such a way only one person is left. The list of winners is evidence of that.
Exactly!
Agree.
Thank god I was starting to think I made it up
I agree with u. In-between games there's mind games and its bloody. So u cant find solution with the game and make u fight against others. Theres not just 6games matpat.
i honestly wish that they at least put a year where there was more than one winner so that it makes it sadder knowing that other players could have survived
I do think the money pot growing if people die was a motivation for people dying though. It's not so much surviving anymore. It's about how much money you can get with death. So it does make sense that some people would want others to die to get more money. Just realizing you explained that later in the video. Perfect example of watching the whole thing before commenting lol
A little more research into Korean culture and you might actually like the glass game (because it fits the theme so well).
The glass game I believe it's based on the "ladder game" which is a commonly played game in Korea. It's generally used to pick out winners/losers randomly. Ladders are stacked horizontally with alternating rungs. Players pick a path and they go down the ladder, crossing over every time there is a rung. If it is designed well, it's pretty hard to tell where you'll end up. The results are SUPPOSED to be random so taking the time to read the path is not allowed. To prevent someone reading the paths, sometimes the middle area is covered up. I think the glass game is a creative adaptation of it and turning off of the lights is similar to covering up the mid section to stop a player who is obviously reading the paths.
Despite how everyone loves talking about "surviving" squid game I think it's supposed to be about gambling. In the end, everything was a game of chance. The whole organization was created by rich people looking for a new game to gamble on. It's a commentary on Korean society's love of gambling that shows up even in children's games. The ladder game is a really innocent game and is often played to decide who should win a prize or who should do the annoying chore. Which is why the glass game is such a fitting adaptation in squid games.
As some other comments have stated, Squid Game covers the "meritocracy myth" of capitalism, that everyone has fair chance to be successful, but behind the scenes the games were rigged from the start. No one but those on top will every truly win.
Wow… that is so interesting! I kinda thought it was a bit cheap to tbh but after this it sounds like a cool game and I totally agree about squid game gambling relating to Korean society
Actually, if the glass guy had chosen to help everyone instead of letting them die he would have died sooner. By standing out and making the game no fun he would risk being targeted by the front man, which is exactly what happened. The front man would have shut the lights off sooner and since the glass guy would have had to be in the front to see the glass now he was the one who had to continue making the moves (which almost certainly would have led to his death). The other players would have definitely not played fair and let him back to his cozy spot close to the back.
So his decision is actually what almost led him to living, he had a 50/50 percent chance at the end since there was only one set of panels remaining, unfortunately he drew the short stick.
Dang bro your smart
Also they had to go in order...
What gets me about the whole 'marble' solution at the end is... Couldn't he have just tapped the glass next to him to see if that would have made the same noise?
@@LoveValentineXO A marble bouncing on glass without a hand/fingers attached to marble would make a different sound from a hand/fingers holding a marble.
Why are y’all this smart
MatPat brought forth a good idea for the tempered glass game. Standing in the middle with the supporting beams would've been smarter than to risk a 50/50 chance of dying from standing on the actual glass.
it you
;-;
the issue i think everyone is forgetting is that these people have barely ate or slept for 4-5 days. None of them are able to think critically at this point.

@@trustsfundbaby7344 that is a fair point.
Thank you for the rant about the glass stepping stones game. I, too, felt that turning the lights off was against the established practices of the game runners.
To be perfectly honest though, the lights were turned off at the request of the VIPs who were obviously a bunch of rich pompous Karens. I like to believe that the Frontman would not have done that hadn't he been pressured to corruption by the top clients. It was prolly done to show that even those who hold their ideologies dear will give that up once pressured by someone who could cost them their job.
The Most annoying "Imaginary Rule" Is that nobody stepped on the *edges* of the glass tiles, or walked between the rods. Literally nobody had to die there.
If they did that, the VIPs would complain and they'd change the rules.
@@TheScienceGuy10 but the players didn't even know the vips exist
@@johannesschmid3500 True but the point is that the Front Man would have told the guards to change the rules so that they can only jump on the glass and to eliminate anyone who doesn't comply.
Nobody said they couldn't try to tell which glass was which and yet they changed that pretty quickly
Yep
It really bothered me that seemingly everyone forgot that there is no rule that only one person can win, glad to see it addressed
would you share $100,000 with anyone else if you where playing the game only to win $50,000 while your partner got the other half?

@@notengocreatividadparaunno1419 exactly, and nobody is sharing money in a death game tf lmao
Why didn't they just sprint across the glass? Every time they went from panel to panel they like SLAMMED their body onto the glass, and even then we saw it hold their weight for at least a second. If you sprint across the panels only 50-60% of your body weight will be on a single panel for less than .5 a second--just don't stop running
you actually needed to jump from panel to panel given the distance between each. Unless you have very long legs, sprinting is impossible....
13:50 You'll definitely break the VIPs' patience.
I think the Marble games has a loophole:
The game explicitly says "A player who manages to take all ten marbles from their partner wins".
It never states that you have to have all 20 marbles. Nor that there is only one winner. You could just exchange the marbles at the beginning of the game, and both partners could win.
I was just thinking that!
Exactly. I thought for sure one of the characters would think of it when I was watching the show.
looooooool i didn't touhgt about that you are right!
That's what I was thinking as well!!
They could ask one of the guards to watch them exchange marbles and call it a win
I really love the message that while money doesn't buy happiness , you need to have money to get your basic needs met and that will allow you to gain happiness elsewhere. I hate when people tell poor people that "money doesn't buy happiness" as a form of... I don't even know, reassurance? because, sure, money can't buy happiness, but not having money brings so many problems and anxieties with it. You need money to live comfortably.
Exactly. And sometimes you need money to live in the first place, like te case of the protagonist mother. (and many other people in the world that can't afford enough medical care)
There was a study done once where they compared self-reported happiness with income level. There is an income range where people are happier. Money absolutely buys happiness, you just can't have too little of it or too much of it or you'll cross the threshold back into unhappy.
@@jennastewart7290 when u possess no inner peace then yes for sure money buys happiness
@@Deprexx It's hard to be happy when you can't afford food. Go ahead and try to namaste your way out of that. 😂😂
The world is cruel, happiness without money is simply impossible
The world will slap you directly in the face if your life style is no money but a Golden heart
I feel like the 7:40 breakdown of the glass jumping challenge not being fair misses the point of the show: it isn't fair. It never has been. As organized and powerful the perpetrators of the game are, and as much as they claim to defend fairness, it's not fair. For any of the debtors. It's symbolic because it IS empty, needlessly bloody, painful spectacle. Age, gender, physical prowess, social status all inherently put some over others.
It also isn't fair because these are all desperate people who essentially CAN'T say no to playing this murderous and suicidal game.
It's yet another sign that the words of the organizers are empty because they obviously can't really keep their word. It's all entertainment to the VIPs and those who only see them as statistics, and an allegory for how even programs purportedly meant to give the poor a fair chance aren't entirely effective.
Based on the list of winners, it's clear that it's intended for only 1 to win in the end. They imposed extra 'games' in between to make things work out that way (for final 3 even if there was no injury, they could have just left them all there for days until 1 died of starvation/ thirst if they wanted, or something like that). Also, there is always the fear that bending the rules will result in elimination as I'm sure would be the case for the glass bridge part.
Matt's strategy doesn't take into account one teeny weeny, crucial little detail, the tendency for people in a desperate situation (exactly the people the game targets) are prone to making irrational and gut-based intuitive calls about things, which are frequently wrong. This is also where the issue of instinctual attitudes of, "either me or them" becomes an issue and fucks over basically everyone.
The prisoners dilemma intensifies.
Yup that recurs in shows like this
Also doesn't take into account that the Front Man was engineering everything from the start to lead to one winner. The past logs of winners the cop found never showed more than one winner a year, and even if everyone played the game in previous years like they did in the show, it would still be odd not to have multiple winners at least every now and then... unless the game was set up in a way to purposely make it so no more than one could win.
This game was being bet on by a bunch of rich elites who want some gruesome entertainment. The Front Man's response to the glass expert in the jumping game was proof that you cant just exploit loopholes. The glass expert should've done the opposite of what this video said. Instead of finally sharing with the others how he could tell the difference, he should've kept quiet. It might have taken the VIPs and the Front Man longer to catch on and he could've made it, thus revealing the safe passage for all behind him.
Not trying to be mean but following this video trying to outsmart the Front Man would probably get you killed sooner than later. You cant math your way out of this, because there are obviously no set defined rules other than the 3 rules from the start.
Also, hiding behind someone during the Red Light, Green Light wasnt the worst idea at all. It did block the doll's camera from detecting you, and even the main character still made it despite being buried under dead bodies from when everyone panicked.

That was the point of all the things they did outside the games.
I think hunger, sleep deprivation, and trauma makes it a lot harder to see clever solutions or consider these statistics or heck, to even be aware of the clues on the wall. You need a very strong will to live, and to have a good enough upbringing to stay present. So another factor with this is 'what do you have to live for?' (as we see literally decide fates in the marble game). If you are desperate enough for money to participate, it better be for noble reasons, or you will sort of sabotage yourself at a certain point from clouded judgement & trauma, or become so selfish you will sabotage your allegiances and make hasty choices. For being morally reprehensible, the whole game is a fascinating lesson in the value of having your priorities straight. It makes sense that someone with a pretty pure heart ended up winning, he's certainly the Charlie of this murderous chocolate factory.
Ohhhh

Yo I actually agree. Sleep deprivation, stress and not getting enough food are factors that affect you in such situations. Which is why it's actually more important that you are thinking and strategising in the first few games and making alliances so that later you'd have more heads to think on a solution.
I do agree that you need the right upbringing to not be greedy enough and want to actually win for a noble cause. But it's also unbelievable that none of them thought out of the box solutions more often. Desparation can sometimes help certain people think creatively. They did portray that during the second game so why not make more use of that and add layers to it?
Lastly... It was just frustrating that the police officer and the lead players never met. It would be great to see them allied and break the system from within. I was really waiting for that to happen. The police guy didn't have a lotta stressors other than being very sneaky and we learn that he's pretty good at that for going undetected for a long time. Soo yeah.. Just my two cents anyway
There's also the fact that most of the people there are in heavy debt due to some of their poor decision making in life. So it's not far off to say some or most of them aren't the brightest.
aka don't go into debt
and don't play the game
Also they were timed - - that added a huge amount of pressure. It's easy to think of solutions after watching the game and getting to think about it after.
Now, goodbye theorists 😢

In the show Hwang Jun-Ho (The cop) finds a list of winners from previous games in a records room but there is only one winner per game so there can only be one winner per game. The shape-faces don't state this as a rule at the start because they want the players to think their odds for survival are better than they are. Frontman and his staff choose which games to use based on how many players are still alive to ensure that only one player wins the game. It's Battle Royale with extra steps.
Which is also why it would be so good if this particular round of games was different and more than 1 survived.
I kept asking myself... Why is it that we're seeing this particular round of games unfold when it's apparently no different that the hundreds of rounds happened before it over years maybe decades.. ?
Is it only cuz our protag is there? But the protag alos has nothing peculiar about him other than dumb luck and 20% smarts. Really.
Also fall guys with extra extra steps.
Exactly, there's always only one winner. Going on the theory of this episode, you will just get a lot of senseless deaths, before majority of the players vote to quit, because they are disadvantaged. This episode was a big miss for me.

The reason Sang-woo asked everyone to split into shapes in the honey cone game is to single out the old man and make sure he dies. Sang-woo realized the old man would become a liability to the group and Gi-hun won't have the guts to kick him out. So Sang-woo staged the whole testing speech and tried to get the umbrella shape to old man. Until Gi-hun decided to swap with old man.
Nice analysis thanks you
I used to work in a glass factory, tempering department, the edges of the glass get wet sanded with sanding wheels and then heated to a temperature which turns glass into tempered glass, the edges are so much easier to see the difference than depicted in the show.
When I first saw the glass game, I immediately thought, "Everyone, give me your shoes!" To slam against each pain of glass.
The Glass Stepping Stones is beyond terrifying for me. I see them as symbolism that no matter how much personal skill, knowledge, or resources that you will always have to be lucky to become successful.
What an odd interpretation
@@user-he2ou2ex2f I think it makes sense. The first four games all had elements of skill and knowledge based games. The glass bridge has no skill, it’s all chance. If Squid Games is a critique of Capitalism then each game would represent different stages of gaining wealth and eventually one stage of gaining wealth requires just plain luck.
You'd just have to be wise and follow the rules of game and utilize common sense.
Lol said by every poor person I ever met
th-cam.com/video/aJM5H12FSw4/w-d-xo.html
You're missing something: If the glassmaker had revealed himself earlier in the game, it would have worse, not better. Remember that the Face Man, once he realized what the glassmaker was doing, cut the lights, killing his ability to make the decision, and only 3 contestants survived that round, him not being one of them. Had done it earlier, they'd have been much less far across before the glassmaker lost that ability, and potentially end the game with 1 or 0 survivors.
Not just that, the people guessing which glass to step on next and getting it right, could've been getting it wrong had he gotten the first few correct. So the ending could've been very different.
I suppose if he had chosen to cooperate with only a few other players he would have told them quietly, trying to keep the information within the party. Thus the Face Man would not have known that. I know its a bit of a stretch but I'm just throwing out ideas hahaha
I mean it’s trial by error without the glassmaker, you literally can’t start that game with players outnumbering the glass panels and have no survivors. You’d have to have people blatantly killing each other or themselves to lose that.
I also thought that
But how do you just teach someone to see something he learned in years worth of working at a glass industry
He'd have to go up front, get a few glasses n then the lights go out
Chances are they wont let him go back to his original place once that happens either
With the extra glasses won from it however there could of been at most 5 survivors since they would b that many tiles closer
Was killing the lights not a dumb thing to do though? Mr. "Everyone gets a fair chance" cheats and changes the rules the moment he finds out that the survivors actually started to work together for once.
I figured the glass tile game was supposed to be a variant of 'the floor is lava'- which is a common kids game wherein the floor is declared to be 'lava', as in you can't touch it, and you have to get around the room by jumping on various pieces of furniture or cushions.
This video just made me binge the full series this week. Thanks guys.
In the glass panel game they didn't say you cannot throw the shoes to break the glass, you had a pair of shoes for each player, everybody could have survived.
Not sure throwing shoes would be enough to break the untempered glass. Still though, they could have tried. The frontman and VIPS wouldn't have let them get away with this though most likely, considering how they quickly adjusted things to prevent the from using his prior knowledge.
@@rylace I think that they turned off the lights because one of the players had an unfair advantage. And throwing a shoe to a intemperate glass will break it no problem, you just have to throw it with force, but not much.
I mean, unless you're yeeting the shoes at the glass which is understandable, shoes aren't gonna have enough weight behind them to break the non-tempered glass.
@@mackenziewoloschuk7375 maybe use a jacket or two and collect numbers of shoes in there and tie it. Making it like a bag and then with the arm part of the jacket act as a handle, throw the bag but not completely throw it as you need to hold onto the jacket. Now you have glass breaker while you also have a weapon. At least be safe there and keep your balance while at it

The German dub is really good. "Majority" is actually translated to majority, and in the marbles game, the rules state, that you have to take the marbles without force.
I agree when Sang-Woo said they should do separate shapes during the Dalgona Game was dumb. They should all choose the same shape, so that way, they can tell each other what do and what not do with that shape. Therefore, increasing your chances of surviving Game 2.
Imagine if everybody won all of the games. Nobody moved on the red lights, everybody licks their cookie shape, somebody cuts the rope in tug of war, the glass expert silently, perfectly figures out which tiles are tempered (and goes first), and somebody comes up with the brilliant idea to just _take each others' marbles_ and not force someone to be marble-less.
Then half or all would still die in the final game, Squid Game. That's basically a fail safe in case everybody does somehow survive
As matt mentioned. Tug of war and marbles would already eliminate half. Then you have to consider that these r not normal people. There is a reason they were chosen to play the squid games. Also the makers would just have them figth to the end.
The marble game idea is brilliant but in the glass game the glass expert getting it right everytime would seem suspicious to the guards so they would look at her / his information, see the 'worked at a glass factory' information and close the lights just like they did in the show. The glass expert not saying anything about it wouldn't change anything.
Refusing to play is against the rules so everyone dies
Squid game, marbles game and Tug of war ensure half the people will die you can argue with marbles game there's a loophole but not the other 2 so at the very best 25% of the player's will survive,if there's no loophole in marbles game it goes down to 12.5%
The fact that there didn’t have to be just one player left makes everyone else’s deaths tragic. Am I wrong?
Definitely already tragic but agreed, it doubles down on it. You really feel it how because of the extreme greed of a few in the group, the rest were condemned to thinking it was a death game instead of a group survival game. That could be an interesting arc for a season though, a group that gets it from the get go and all agree to help as many survive as possible and how the Game Masters react to this.

I feel like for the stepping glasses game people could just sit down on the first tempered glass and kick the glass in front of them, so you get better odds if it doesn't break
that’s actually a good idea! or they could skip things across the tiles or use their jackets to beat the tiles in from of them

Wow your comment got Bot bombed.

If the guy shared his knowledge about the glass tiles, the leader would've probably turned off the lights earlier.
Atleast all of them had died because of that lol nice going VIPs lol
yep, matt is really assuming that they are gonna be fair, ignoring the fact that they are horses on a track and a bunch of rich psychos are betting on them for fun
True
Basically same chance of survival
And not only that but he would be on the front line of everybody just because he tried to help, they wouldnt let him go back in the line just because he tried to help them.
I honestly don’t think it could have been more than 1 winner, because we saw several times where they encouraged the guards and even the doctor in the game to induce more chaos and cause lives. Even those who chose not to participate after the initial game were stalked and followed to the point where they’d probably try to influence your life like the Truman show and force you back by putting a relative in the hospital and having bills to be too high etc.
Thank you for being so educational and for teaching me so many new things, keep the theory coming!
A few things to point out:
-when the officer (I forgot his name) is going through the list of winners, there is only one winner in each game. I’m guessing that there could be multiple winners, but the staff are constantly trying to eliminate players.
(This is one more for the legality video) -in the episode “V.I.P.S” one of the VIP’s remark “the contest in Korea was the best” so this could imply that there are multiple games being held in multiple countries.
Wasn't there one year that had two?
Not sure about the two winners, but I agree with OP. It’s a show, and much like the Hunger Games, I don’t think the VIPs would find it entertaining if more than one person won. More than likely, the games are planned in such a way that there will probably only be one winner.
Except you can vote anytime to stop the game. So all you have to do is requiring a vote before each game after the rules has been enonced.
If they know you'll ask for a vote, and thry want the game to continue, they won't put you in a battle royal game when you have only a chance on 30 to survive.
By doing this, you assure each game give you 50% or more chance to survive. Giving you 1 chance of 64 min.
...which is low, but better than a chance of 550.
Maaaannn. The game in Brazil must have been wild. Kids back then had some games like throwing small powder bombs (called Cabeças de Nego) here and others like Fusca Azul, constinsting of a group of kids spanking eachother when they immediatly find a blue beetle parked somewhere; if one finds it and yells the word, its all by themselves
imagine Mexico lmao
The glassmaker sharing his knowledge gets the lights turned off, taking away his advantage. Keeping it to himself was the best choice, there, he should've volunteered to go first and not shared how he was solving it until after the fact
Ohhhh
th-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/w-d-xo.html
…….
Actually, they would've been screwed sooner. When the Masks saw him exercise his knowledge, they realized he was a Glassmaker and because of the File they have on him and all the other players, they hit the lights.
True, but since the VIPs were watching they would've eventually found out probably.
@@C.Dat.guyoverthere Only because he was using his knowledge. As harsh as it was, it gave that one player a huge advantage in that particular game. And to make it 'fair' (cruel) they removed his advantage.
i was thinking same thing, he could have crossed over and if the other people didn't watch how he did it that's there problem.
7:41 nice matpat never knew a pig was actually an elaphant
the glass bridge one wouldn't have been possible to help since the glass maker even if he told everyone who he was, was number 13, meaning the 12 people infront of him would have to go first anyway wasting time etc... and since the glass panels can only support 2 people he would have only been able to help once all 12 others stood on the bridge
Actually what the glass maker did was pretty smart, if he revealed his abilities earlier almost everybody could’ve died as they would turn off the lights anyway. So I very much disagree it was just unlucky other players wasted time.
But that’s with hindsight

Also he could only see the glass in front of him. So couldn't warn the players in front of him. They choose their numbers before they knew what the next game was.
@@trevorkorber but hindsight is what film theories always are.
I think the glass bridge was supposed to be hop-scotch. Also, noticed how the rules weren't "have 20 marbles" but have the other players 10 marble. Just swap bags. There, both survive. Unless I'm remembering the rules wrong
My korean grandma told me that as a child they did the game but with ice during winter
@@ironzzzebra ohhh, ok
"gganbu share everything"
Dang maybe that was a hint that they could have just swapped the bags
Finally someone else noticed this! I *immediately* knew this was a loophole when they stated the rules.
To clarify further, as I said in my own post:
You all missed it.
Marbles was NOT a 50% elimination game. Everyone just missed the trick. It was a test, and they all failed.
Remember the old man? He said gganbu share everything. How they trust each other with all their possessions?
The rules said, "the player to win their opponent's ten marbles wins". They didn't say you had to have twenty marbles.
So long as you both swapped all ten marbles, each being sure to not have kept your own... both could have won.
On a technicality, sure - but the game is fair above all else. They would have let it slide.
The marbles strategy is in sane but within the rules. I wonder why no team tried it. I think the husband and wife team could have had a go at that strategy to see if it was eligible. The fellow was quite forlorn when his wife selected to die.
While watching the glass bridge episode, I was wondering why they weren't jumping close to the glass supports rather than the center of the glass.
I've always thought that if I were first in line for the glass bridge game, I would have crawled my way across with my hands and feet on the edges of the rails. No way I'm taking a chance jumping in the glass.
Technically, in the 4th game the rule wasn’t “get all 20 marbles”, it was “get all 10 of your partner’s marbles”. That means if people actually thought it out they could trade bags with your partner, thus obtaining all 10 of their partners marbles/they get all 10 of yours.
Notice that the group dynamics at that point caused people to team with friends. That eliminated the obvious tactic of "slam your partner's head into a wall and take his marbles", which I thought of immediately.
@@stevenscott2136 The tactic of "slam your partner's head into a wall and take his marbles" was already prohibited , as one of the rules for the marble game stated that you couldn't forcefully take your partners marbles.
@@stevenscott2136 force was prohibited also one of my pet peeves of the show is that they lied to the players. they said choose a partner then when they got in they said oh your not actually partners your opponents. it was a lie they should have made it ambiguous or said the truth like " choose another player" or "choose an opponent"
@@BeyondTilted partner isn't exactly a lie, just because they are against each other in that game doesn't mean they're not partners. Partners can just mean 2 people doing the same activity. Also, why wouldn't they lie or mislead?? The Front Man says that the games are 'fair' but the point of the whole show is that they are not actually fair... the higher ups just want you to think it is fair.
@@clairepetersen7831 no that’s a miss read of the show. It was supposed to actually be fair but the writer made it not actually fair through bad writing. There was nothing to suggest that they weren’t supposed to be fair. Also no the words partner and team were used if I remember correctly both of which imply working together. You don’t compete against a partner. Could be a translation issue though

I wholeheartedly agree with your beef about the glass game. I was thinking the same thing. I was also thinking how unfair it was to have the distance to jump nearly double if you switched sides. And how EXTREMELY unrealistic it was that everyone seemed to have no fear of heights. In the real world, at least one of those people would have refused to play (preferring the bullet to the fall) or would have froze halfway through after looking down.
I kinda have to disagree. Even if you had a fear of heights, I think knowing that there’s a person literally pointing a gun at you + the prospect of winning would motivate you to keep going. The idea that one of those players would actually stop playing because of a fear of heights after enduring the past five games is far more unrealistic.
they're all strong adults, if they know they would win a huge cash prize, surely that would keep them going
My biggest gripe was that somehow, *no one* ended up slipping, despite making those massive jumps onto glass panels.

DU DU DU DU
Well, those odds are out the window if you LITERALLY DONT EVEN LAND ON THE PLATFORM
That sounds like a KFC advertisement ngl
Legit way of thinking. Makes sense I'd like to see that in the sequel... Someone to stand up and point out the benefits of not sabotaging each other. The bridge thing I thought similar although my idea was one foot in the middle and the other on the edge so I can leap to the right glass. Any way great video
I thought that the glass game was like hopscotch where you can only step on one tile with one foot unless it's a double scotch. It was kind of like the amplified version of that game. The turning out the lights however was purely for paid spectacle and because the gamblers were getting bored.
I think the reason why the Glass Tiles game was so much more extravagant was because the V.I.P.s were there. Front Man makes a point to showcase a model and build up excitement. It’s like seeing a concert live vs on TV, it’s gotta feel more exciting and showy
nope, it was lifted from the anime that inspired most of squid game.
The glass panel game, they were told to take off their shoes but I never understood why they didn't use them. Two shoes is enough to discern which glass will break if you throw one hard enough at both. Could have even passed them down the line to player 1.
Omg that's so true, i didn't think of that
Shoes came to my mind when thinking bout paying attention to the sounds the marbles make on tempered and breakable glass, but never thought of just throwing them at the panels full force
This was my idea too
Because once their shoes were off, they basically forgot about them. It's another case of clever psychology -- rather than TELL them not to use their shoes, it's more fun to TRICK them into not using them, and then laugh at them later for their stupidity.
Basically like testing for death traps in The Cube Films
Knowing how they turned off the lights to counter the glass maker’s strategy, they’d probably ask to collect the shoes if someone did that
I love how when its the tempered glass game, noone tried jumping completely straight and go to the end easily or walk in the middle
The glass bridge challenge bothered me so much! I remember wondering why nobody tried to step on the edges. I suppose with the stress people just assumed it was a rule you had to jump in the middle of the glass panels but nobody even tried!
I mean it would still be really hard since they are stressed they will probably lose balance easily
The thing I wondered about with the marble game was the fact that it just said you had to get your opponent’s 10 marbles and not that you needed 20 marbles. I kept wondering if it would count as a win if you just swapped your marbles with your opponent’s. Technically, you would both have your opponent’s 10 marbles.
omg
I literally said this out loud when the rules were mentioned, and then watched no one even try it...
big brain
I made this comment too. Such a simple rule to over think or take a face value
The only problem is there is no way to differentiate between the marbles. The guards would think you just havent done anything yet.
Theory is right, cooperation would make the games much easier. That is intentional in the series. It is a criticism of society. We would live in a much better world if everyone helped each other. But too many people are willing to stepping on another for his own, immediate, gain. It is like the banquet in the movie The Well.
Crabs in a bucket
You missed the part where the games are deliberately engineered to turn people against one another. There was cooperation going on initially, just as much as much as there was sabotage. But the games are rigged to discourage as time goes on. It's no coincidence that the marble game came after they built groups and alliances and cooperated with one another. If they found a way to break the game through their cooperation, the Front Man would've done a similar thing to when they turned off the lights with the bridge game and found a way to sabotage them and make their cooperation moot.
The series isn't criticizing the desperate people who do their best to win while playing by the rules of the game (and aren't superhumanly smart so as to figure out the best way out of a game while saving others too). It's criticizing the people making the rules who pit the desperate against one another. AKA capitalism.
There people who are like sang woo that has the mindset of “If you help others you will be left behind with them” so they think kindness/helpfulness make you weak but actually it show a lot by how you treat people

Something about the glass panels game is that even if you are one of the last players and the majority decides to stay in, the first players will be hesitant and take their time. Since it’s a limited amount of time, that results in the large possibility of even if there are always people in front of you, or even if you never land on the untempered glass, you could just simply run out of time, and not make it to the other side, ending in the glass exploding in your face.
Also, the glass one is super easy. If you have moderately good balance you can just walk across between the glass panels

About the marbles game, I remember the announcer said "those who manage to get all 10 marbles from their partner, wins". They never say you have to have 20. You could just trade the entire sacks with your partner and both should win.
I still haven't seen Squid Game, but I've watched all of Mat Pat's videos about it.
I feel like the marbles is survivable. The old man hinted at it. That his marbles are the Mcs and the Mcs marbles are his. It could've been argued that switching marbles is taking your opponents marbles while still having your own.
"Using your ten marbles you must take your opponents ten marbles" Swapping bags is not using marbles to take marbles. nor are those marbles yours anymore. It is literally keeping the game at the initial state. It is also a form of not playing. Which equals elimination.
Use your ten marbles, play any game you like, obtain your opponents ten marbles, don't use violence. Those being the only rules, it makes perfect sense to at least try to just make up a bullshit game, swap marbles, declare both of yourselves winners and see if they let you leave.
@@psychocomytic9778 If you have ten marbles you don't have any of your opponents marbles. Your old marbles just become your opponents marbles. Game state remains the same.
When the two tough guys changed games they started again with 10 marbles, since they had been playing a game where all the marbles had likely changed hands then they could have changed marbles for all we know.
The only way to obtain all ten of your opponents marbles is to have all 20 marbles. If they have any number of marbles from either bag then you do not have their ten marbles.
@@krampusklaws2238 ngl best semantic argument I've heard yet, but I still like to think that all 456 contestants could have survived on technicalities and ingenuity.

@@krampusklaws2238 if you traded marble for marble that would technically be considered using your marbles to take your opponents. you could come up with any game to play with any rules that does that and it would satisfy the game conditions.
I'm surprised it isn't being mentioned that each new Squid Game has a different set of games each time considering the VIP's didn't know what the Glass Bridge one was going to be. This means that there could be any combination of games in play that challenge the advice in this video. A single game could have rules that eliminate players 50/50 for all six games.
