    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!

    "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.

      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.

    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).

    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.

      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.

    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

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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:)

    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.

      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

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    for the glass game, I think mat made a good point of trying to stand on the sides even if you get killed because the rules were not specific and it's the same 50/50 chance of choosing a glass panel. I've been thinking about it a lot and if you can't stand on the sides then another option would be to use the shoes. I don't know if it would work but everyone has to take off their shoes and that's double the number of players present so the shoes could be used to throw on top of the glass to see if its stable Idk if it would work but if I was in that situation I would definitely try it.

    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.

      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.
