Have a damn good day

Cinema Summary every 30 seconds: "Okay. This was a great play, but their mistake here was putting their life at risk. If you die, you stop living. If I was in this situation, I would simply not die."

Use sound? While wearing a leather mask that dampens sound and four people yelling at you in a largely empty and most likely echoy room? This guy must think we are Daredevil or Superman.

For the first game, the ball had already dropped on #4, that's why I would have picked that one....the curl up in a ball strategy would be a safe guard obviously.

“If you are forced to play in a tournament where your life is on the line, what would you do??” Me: Lose, probably. . .

The thief is so smart in this game, it was almost like Cinema Summary was guiding him throughout this entire death game

I feel like film industries create survival, death, games, etc. movies just for him to make another 'how to beat' video, like the amount of these episodes are insane.

21:40 but that's why he's asking "Is my thumb seperated from each other" not "How many finger am I holding up". His other four fingers blocks the sight from left and right. The only way to see it is from down (which is impossible) and front while bending down. It's actually fool proof.

So basically these videos are more “How characters survived in death games” rather than actual new input. “How to survive SAW : don’t piss off Jigsaw”.

i love how in the triangle room game instead of just ignoring the dumbest person in the room they used his imagination and creativity to figure out the solution

In the platform game, what if the guy asked the other people to go to the corner of the edge of the platform and reach their hand out so he can grab it. Since there's only a small opening in the center, they wouldn't be able to do it, and the distance seems to be close enough for this to work.

The boy decided to wake up today but that was his biggest mistake

9:08 In her perspective, she did throw the dice with her right hand

Funny, as in the Manga the Chairman EXPLICITLY wants someone with "the luck of the gods" that could survive even an engineered lethal situation because fate could simply not let them die.

22:00 I feel like you've missed the fact that even if they didn't use the mirror, they could've just guessed and got the student to jump and die by random chance

Holy crap I remember reading this manga. Omg, I never would’ve thought a movie adaption would be made of it, and that this is how I’d find out. Maybe they’ll do Part Two someday.

With the spinning game, there's two things I can see being able to help you out: 1. If you are forced to stand still the entire time; your centre of balance would be thrown off with the spinning, disorientating you and making the game a lot harder. 2. The coins. Assuming the first part is a rule, and we can't just sit down or bend down to place a coin to tell us which way to go, the second part still means you can use the coins as a point of orientation. If you have three coins, you can probably store them in different parts of your clothes (pockets, sleeves, etc.) to face the dead ends. Even if you have just one coin, having that coin facing the safe zone before it starts spinning, gives you an idea of what to rule out; if the game developers are smart, they'll leave you spun around not facing the safe direction, meaning your odds are more likely that the coin is pointing to a dangerous outcome. With your "friends" telling you to leap towards them, you can probably make safer assumptions that the person who the coin is pointing to, is not safe. There's still risk, of course, but there's risk in everything, and it doesn't seem to be made immediately clear if you'll even live should you lose the game. They could just kill you off if you take too long, or your opponent wins, so it's a weigh up of the risks and odds (and personally, I'd take the risk). How can I be sure that any of them are even safe in the end, if I can't see (taking the sound reverb out of the equation, since leather seems like a thick material that would cancel out noise. Could be wrong in this assumption, but knowing people who can't hear anything and have to read lips, sight and touch can ultimately be more valuable than sound to them) and it's not some risk taking experiment instead (considering how the first game went)? They could set up a wall to keep all routes blocked off; though it's not likely, it's still a possibility I'd be wary of before making a move. Not to mention, we don't know how well the walls would be able to reverberate sound, and if we have several people yelling at us, it makes sound a less reliable means of trust. This is my own stance, of course, and we don't know enough about the scenarios to make a confirmed "100% win" answer to everything, but this is personally how I'd go about things.

When I first watched this channel, I was foolish. I laughed and said, this shit will never happen to me. Now, I'm watching these videos multiple times, making survival notes, hoarding supplies in preparation, and earned a black belt in martial arts along with always keeping a make shift weapon on me. Why did you do this to me? Why?

In the platform game, even if the others used the mirror, it would take longer to angle it just right to see his hands. The person bending down could answer it in a second. Based on the time, you would know if they lied. The problem is if someone guessed the right answer, he could've been tricked into jumping on the wrong platform.

For the second game, I would’ve told the people on each side to sing a song and walk back and forth to each side of their playform. That way they would be muffled if they were behind a wall, and I could hear them if they tried to grab the wall and lean to the side because it would put strain on their voice. Specifically I would tell them to do Opera, since the long breaths of an opera performance would put especial strain on their voice

3:19 i feel bad for the creators of squid game rn💀

"This leather mask looks like we're auditioning for the next Fifty Shades of Grey movie" *Bruh I spit out my water when you said that lmao*

I'm pretty sure the strategy for the first game only works so long as there aren't too many people in your room when the ball drops otherwise you will be crushed regardless of what position your in.

For the quarter jump an alt strategy would be to wrap your shirt around your hand so that one will have to bend and look straight forward to see what symbol your hand is making. Its similar to shirubes strat, but you could also postion your arm under the platform while leaning slightly

For the platform game, I would probably just whip my hair around to check which ways have walls. Depending on the sound that I get when I swish it/the feeling of it hitting something, I would choose which one is safe. But this would only work for someone whose hair is ungodly long like mine, so it makes sense that the thief and student didn’t use this , they have short hair after all. Though I may run into some problems if they decide that my hair counts as an object.

That's a first. I had the exact same thought for the blind jump challenge using sound ^^ The amount of effort putting strategies into this baffles me still

When it comes to the Safe Zone, the material used to make the masks seems denser than your average pillow casing and might absorb sound or repel sound. If there's a problem with my hearing, using soundwaves to gauge distance and density of an area in front of me may not work (although there should be significant differences in soundwaves when talking to a wall, hearing from a wall, and listening to a space without either). The bowing-technique is brilliant and can be asked twice or even three times to ascertain if the player is guessing or can actually see (If you give the speaker only two options, you can easily pull a 'thumbs up' in the same position without adjusting your posture or flexing uncomfortably, and if they could see it, they would know you're not bowing correctly or have the thumbs tucked in). If hearing is a problem, then gauging time to answer is your next best strategy because even a mirror would have to be placed under the player and angled so that the speaker could see it, and pauses with movement would tip the player off. One that I thought up was asking for a handshake or a hug; the distance isn't too far to jump, 1.5-2 feet, and most of the contestants look healthy and have no apparent disabilities that would prevent them from that kind of jump. As far as I analyzed, there was nothing in the rules that didn't say they couldn't jump onto my platform and then return, and the truthful speaker would be more eager to comply than the ones that were lying. The ones lying may try to say 'I'm not allowed to', but the rules were concluded before the game began, so telling me that they can't or won't makes me suspicious. Any emotional blackmail, like claiming they're being held at gunpoint and will be shot if they try to hug me, will sound suspicious and it may be cold for me to insist they try, but three of them are literally luring me to my death. If I'm gambling with my life, I can gamble theirs in that moment as well. Another survival trick when you're lost or don't recognize your surroundings is to check for landmarks. In the room, I saw one chandelier in the shot that showed Zero, all three walls and the Safe zone, and the chandelier is adjacent to the Safe Zone. Even if there was a second one out of the shot that I didn't account for, I can simply ask a player to tell me what is on their left, and what is on their right. This will probably not work since three are actively trying to get me killed and might change up their answer, and I have been given nothing to write on or notate and keep up the answers, but they may not recognize I noticed the chandeliers and may answer truthfully. The room doesn't spin, only I do, so even if I spin, the chandeliers wouldn't change their position. It's something to consider while using a better strategy, but there it is.

It's too good, I hope a part 2 will be made!

Cant wait for the sequel 1!

I wish there would be a survival horror movie Titled "The Meat" so he can make a video titled "How to beat The Meat"

One thing to mention with the student: Even if they used their mirrors to look at their hands, he could just as easily note response times

Ohh nice! It's nice to see more of Fukumoto's works here cause I know you covered Kaiji before!

For the room with the three walls. I would ask the players to lean forward and give me a fist bump. If they cant then thats clear indication they are behind a wall

I feel like the thief is basically someone who has plot armor in their inventory but doesn't need to use it since they already got brains

Okay stop with trying to convice about sound reverberating from the walls. It's too far fetched to work. Heck, even jumping and doing parkour against the wall would be a better solution.

Could you please upload a part 2? This is the best video from you yet!

When he was in the tube, since his legs were free, he could push his legs against the walls and inch his body upwards until he can put his legs over the edge, laying his body out over the opening, buying a lot more time to solve the problem

never let this man into a death game he'll win every time

I love rewatching these

This is the goodest oldest kind of how to beat video

This is why I love death game movies so much, like these games are so unique and creative

How To Beat EVERY DEATH GAME In "Zero" *Befriend the main character* *Be the main character* *Follow Cinema Summary's tactics* *Don't join the death game at all and get a normal paying job*

This man have to be in competitions. This man had a very big brain to beat the game.

Oh man i hope you make a part 2, this is fascinating

This makes me so hyped everytime because listening to him makes me feel like a genius

I love it when he says "This will be the hardest game yet" like yeah it always ramps up in difficulty every new game will be the hardest yet (most of the time)

For the 4 options game, I would place the coin in the middle of the safe side and then hold it there, making sure I’m stable enough to not fall over and then jump that way

This is SICK! I love this

For the first game, I would pick cage number four because that's the one she used as a demonstration. If she was going to demo, it would be number one, or all of them, but if the mechanism has to be reset, then she must have used four because it's the correct answer.

First Game reminds me of exam questions. You don't have to be the ace student who knows it all. All you have to do is knowing: 1) the structure of how to answer the question (especially if it's an essay/report) - what is the nature of the question? Are there any loopholes can you exploit in the exam question? 2) some basic + 10% knowledge of the subject (so know enough and a bit extra) 3) looking back on the topic, what is the main themes or agenda or message, that the school/teacher/education system is looking for you to examine or answer back. Whether or not you choose to follow it, debate it, synthesize it, etc is up to you. 4) Is it an essay, paragraph, or audio response question? Take advantage of the mediums of exam or project submission. Instead of writing a slab of text essay, write headings and sub-headings to prompt yourself and structure your response. Plus it saves your wrist from cramps :) Other than this, Have a Damn Good (Exam) Day. Good Luck.

For the last game, the thief could have probably leaned back against the pole, push one leg at a time against the container and climb up.

2:31 "kidnapped against our will" Well yeah, that's how that works.

21:52 I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be enough to destroy his plan. If let's say one of the three people with the wall managed to answer the question correctly, that's still 2 options eliminated. And with how fast Shirube came up with his first plan, he had more than enough time to devise a second test to figure which of the remaining two directions was the correct one.

I just realized. The three example dice throws, were all 1s. Three 1s. Then, the final dice throw. Most likely, a 1, if you follow the previous rolls. Thus, four 1s. Cage number 4.

I really want to see the rest 🥺 love these videos 🤩

for the platform scene, thief could lay his entire body down at the centre of the platform with his arms facing towards the open platform( kinda like sleeping on his belly), he will not spin as much as he is basically at the centre .Then when the platform stops, he can getup and jump

Not me watching all these "How To Beat (insert scenarios)" to prepare myself in case stuff like this happens to me-

In the second game i would use my feet to feel the wall other side, i see its not too long for me to stretch my leg to reach the walls AND determine which is the safe zone

i love theses videos they are so awesome and i love your voice. your videos are soooo interesting, like very interesting. you are explainable. stay awesome!!!!!

I love your channel man, but I have just one Question who is Zero anyway? I mean did they ever come out with info on him after this or just left it up in the air? Anyway have a dam fin day and keep up the great work.

For the 4 plat forms 3 with a wall, I would lay on my stomach and reach my hand out, asking the person on the other end to grab my hand, or touch it in some way, or I could ask them to through their shirt at me, which would be difficult through that slit.

with the platform challenge, the only rule from my understanding is that you can't throw anything. why not just take off your pants and whip it off the edge of the platform? you'll be able to feel or hear if it hits anything and it doesn't count as throwing since you never let go of it.

Thanks for sharing. After watching this KZfaq video, I went to watch the series…and it was really enjoyable. And only 10 episodes - maybe we will see a sequel some day

Can’t wait for the second part this was so good

In the first game, while the assistant shows the ball crushing the lucky cat, it's cage number four. In the end that's the safe cage. That challenge wasn't that hard to crack, if you followed the rules and trusted your observations.

luv these vids man keep doing what you’re doing🫶

Remember, if you’re in any death game, take the role of the main protagonist, because we all know that it’s most likely for the main protagonist to survive

this man can survive anything i swear the world can be ending and he has a 9 page essay on how he can zero difficulty survive the end of the world

I love he puts so much work in every video he posts

For the platform game, I think the second go was almost perfect. If he found a way to obscure his hands and ask a loaded question, then it would’ve been foolproof. Like if he kept a coin and hid it somewhere on his person, then asked everyone which hand held the coin. That’s not a perfect solution, but that’s the kind of question I’m thinking of. One where if you choose an obvious answer you know they’re lying, and the only one telling the truth would give you a third answer

25:31 teachers are gonna use this as a way to make you think math will come in handy later on in life.

Zero: So how many more people would like to add for de- Squid game: Y E S!😈

Actually some recordings are known to be flipped. So just because a video shows things from the opposite side doesn't means it's pre recorded

For the triangle rooms, the walls are very thin and it is most likely possible to just break out with brute force. This is because when the gangster slightly tapped the wall, it shock with a wobbling manner and it could most likely be broken with a couple kicks.

Game 1: Yes, you could wait until the last minute, but that also risks other people are coming up with the correct solution and taking all the space in the cages where you can survive. I would simply take that place first and take the risk that the others won't realize what I'm doing (for example I wouldn't tuck my legs in yet), or will fight with other people for the space that guarantees survival. Game 2: Yes, one of the lying players could've guessed the kid's choice correctly, that's why you do it 10 times so they have pretty much no chance of always guessing correctly.

"All rooms are the same. What are you?" Me: dead.

It's a good day when cinema summary uploads

For the platform game, just have each person make a prolonged sound while slowly going and laying down on the platform. That way, you can easily tell if there’s a wall between you and them by whether the sound changes :)

The best way to do the small window in door game is to ask the people to sit down and have a conversation

27:52 What about the chesse and the slice of cake ??? And the sun drawing dosen't actually have any triengles

Can't wait for part 2!!

Can’t wait for part 2🤩

Bro, l don't get why your not verified?! Your content is amazing! Love from Australia!

For the spinning one I would move my hands around the square to see where to go/jump then test to see if there was a barrier with my feet stretching them out and I keep doing that until I find the one that is safe. This might not work for other people but it would for me because, Im pretty tall so my legs are long, I also practiced gymnastics for 3 years so I could hold on to the side while testing it.

This man saving everyone from every situation 😮‍💨

29:00 DANG, that kid don’t care if he die or live, just look at his face the way it looks

30:32 ...............I suffered enough, why more?

I never realized how many live action adaptations of Nobuyuki Fukumotos works there are (The creator of the Kaiji and Zero manga). It actually makes be pretty happy though, since I'm a huge fan of all of the series that have been adapted (Kaiji, Ten, Akagi, and Zero). Highly recommend anyone who is interested in these movies to check out the source materials. They're longer (In fact, Kaiji's still on going!) and focus much more on the psychological aspects as well as the characters' portrayals. I will say Kaiji and Zero are more in line with other death game shows like Squid Games (Kaiji is supposedly an inspiration for Squid Games) and Alice in Border land, Ten and Akagi are entirely mahjong focused. However the former two are amazing and some of my favorite mangas of all time, especially with Fukumoto's angular and harsh style. So if you like these death game shows, I highly recommend Fukumoto's works. Just thought I'd give everyone the source if they're hungry for more!

i love all of these death games, thank you to cinema summary for introducing all these great movies :D

I love how all these "how to beat" videos,whether it's games like this,Squid Game, or even the SAW traps, talk about how easy it would be. The thing is that you only think it's easy BECAUSE YOURE LOOKING AT IT FROM THE OUTSIDE,NOT EXPERIENCING IT PERSONALLY.

A solution to the second game would be just to ask them to touch your hand. Another thing would be that the distance to the safe zone is not as far. It looks like you could just stick you leg out and fell for it.

Boutta watch this than the zero 2 video 💪

In the platform game, 10 seconds is enough time to look around quickly to see the safe spot, so what I would do is turn towards it if I can, and once the platform starts spinning, I’ll make a mental not of the direction I’m facing during each turn so I could figure out where it is in relation to where I remember the safe spot being, though through this I could still easily die.

I can't wait for you to do the second part to this

basically every game movie is about the same thing over and over again, except different game or different camera angle. very creative JAPAN !

"I would" Ok smarty, we all know your a genius for life.

I don't get why Squid Games became so popular while Japan has produced so many of these brilliant movies / series

This guy’s definetly a genius.

The blindfolded platform game would be easy because you just lay down on the edge and ask the person on the other side to reach out at touch your hand. The gap is short enough that two out stretch arms would at least touch fingers.

In the jump game you could also ask whoever is the right path to jump to the center platform, its scary but if they are already trying to win the money and the ring i think they would do it no problem.
