I recreated every single separate squid game in real life, and whichever one of these 456 people survives the longest wins 456 grand. The first game we're gonna play is red light, green light, and they have 30 minutes to cross the red line on the other side of the huge room. So without further ado, green light. Red light.
Something went wrong!

Full transcript
Oh. Oh. And as
you can see, every single player has a device strapped to them that when they're eliminated, it pops. Chris, you wanna have a chance on 1? Red light.
Oh. Oh. Oh,
no. I I know for sure this guy moved. Green light. Red light. Oh, yo. They're dropping. Okay. Now some people are are getting out.
You gotta get a better spot for the next red light.
Right? Yes. You're fine.
30 people have gotten out so far. If they move right now, they're out. They have to hold this position until we say green light. And I can take all the time I want because we still have 23 minutes left.
We should get a green light going. This guy's doing a full squat.
Green light. Green light. Oh, they all stop. Red light.
Oh. Oh, COVID. I got it. Oh, no. Push my glasses up. Okay. Do it slowly though. Be careful.
I'm good. Are you good? Yeah. Perfect. Okay.
Green light. Red light.
Oh, you're so moving. Bitch. She was jogging over here.
We're gonna go see who's in the very back. You are in dead blast. What's going on?
I let the others clear the path for me.
You literally haven't even moved.
A couple steps.
We'll see
if it pans out. Green light. Yellow. Red light.
Oh, that we got her. The yellow light worked. Oh, that was diabolical to throw a yellow light out there. Since 067 was a big part of the show, I'll let you say green light.
Green light.
Red light.
Yo. It'd be funny if she just got out. As you can see, over 100 people have been eliminated. Do the honors, Chandler.
Green light. Red light.
Oh, that was a loud one. There it is.
Hey. Green light. Red light.
Look how close they are to the finish line. It is do or die for most of these people. Everyone look up at the TV. You have 4 minutes and 20 seconds left.
Yeah. That's the number.
Green light. Red light. We have
our first two finishers over here. Let's go.
Green light. Red light.
Sorry, baby. Sorry, baby.
Alright. We have 5 people across the finish line now.
We are all kinda screwed if you don't run faster. Yep. You're right.
Green light. Red light. Yes, stop.
Only 2 minutes remain. I don't think so. Way too nervous.
Green light. Red light.
We have under 1 minute remaining. Time's ticking. Green light. Yeah.
Red light.
You have stepped on the line. You are good.
You're good. You're good. Let's go.
Red light.
Oh, it works. It works. We got
them. You're definitely out. Dude, I knew that would work. Green light. Red light.
There are definitely so many of you just got out. They gotta run faster. They've gotta you gotta sprint. Green light. Green light. I'm not even gonna say red light. I'm gonna say red light. It's too late.
Too late. Oh. Holy cow.
Congratulations on surviving red light, green light. So if you look at this TV, you'll see that only 232 of you survived. If you look above your head, you'll see the 4 $156,000 you're competing for. And now let's move on to Honeycomb. In Honeycomb, everyone gets a needle and a cookie with a different shape on it, and they have 10 minutes to remove the shape from the cookie. But if they break the shape, they're eliminated. Alright. So everybody, I'm gonna need you to get in the line in front of one of these question marks.
Why did you pick this one?
Just like the middle.
Basically, you don't think it's umbrella. Umbrella, you Umbrella. Did you even watch the game? Oh.
So many of these people are about to get out.
Reveal shape number 1.
Reveal the second symbol.
Look at how nice they're getting.
If I was you, I'd be getting pretty nervous. We're feeling. Chris, cheer up for it.
I know umbrella going home.
That's all I gotta say. Got the circle. Thank god we didn't get the umbrella.
You look pretty nervous over
here.
Even though you got the star, you're the main character. So you have plot armor. You're
fine. Yeah. Start the timer. Oh my god.
The challenge is underway. You just hear them all scraping.
I hate my life.
I was taking it out of the tin, and it just snapped in half. I can
see it. It's working. Take your time. Get a umbrella? Yeah. Sorry, bud.
Look at this. We have a successful triangle. Congratulations. Thank
Thank you. Oh, no. What is she doing? What Jimmy doesn't know is I brought a lighter, and I'm gonna drop it for somebody. What? 1 and a half minutes remaining.
Let's get
it, baby.
Yeah. Oh my gosh. This is the first perfect umbrella I've seen.
Oh yeah. Easy peasy.
6, 7. Okay. She passed. She does have plot armor.
Almost there. So close.
30 seconds.
Oh my god. Oh, are you serious? Oh, yeah. 3, 2, 1. Okay.
Time is up. You did it?
You did the umbrella?
And just like that, all these players have been eliminated. But don't worry because they're all walking away with $2,000 in cash.
100 and
42 of you survived Honeycomb.
And if you leave in
the next 5 minutes, I'll give you $4,000. Let's weed out some of the weak people. About $4,000
Just smack me. Just smack me. Expecting this many people. Okay. Okay. There we go. Head on out. And with that, I'm gonna
need you all to split up into groups of 10. We had them form teams because next up is tug of war. This could determine your chance at half a $1,000,000.
We needed the strongest people and the smartest people. We have intelligence, skill, and brawn.
We tried to recruit the biggest people so we could get real strong
and pull the rope. Woah. No girls allowed. Oh, okay. I just sent 3 people off. We got 10 now. Let's go. Let's go.
I should have taken the 4 grams.
We now have 12 different groups of 10 people. Let's move on to the next game. And now let's decide who faces who. Okay. We're gonna draw 1 from here. 6. We'll just draw this 1. 5.
Oh, okay. Follow me to the bridge.
And now the moment you've been waiting for, a game of tug
of war, team 6 versus team 5.
C 5 on 3.
1, 2, 3, 1.
You fall on the phone or your flag crosses to the other team's side. You're eliminated. Are you guys ready?
Yeah.
Yeah. Are you ready?
Yeah. Yeah. Alright.
3. Skip a few. Go.
Go. Power. Oh, it's going to team 5 right now. Team 6 has fallen. Low. Low. As your job No.
Congratulations, team 5. You have all moved on.
Team number 2 versus team number 7. They seem happy.
Team 7 and 2, head on out.
You keep me alive, we're gonna get the money. Let's go. Oh, it's already on right side. Hey.
Let's check-in on 067. In the show, you won. So let's see if it works here. Hey, Carl. We have 067. You should just lose.
Oh, no. Give him motivation. Oh. It's over here. It draws. Sir, can you come over here?
Why don't you draw? So look, grab 1 from here and 1 from here. And then grab 1 from here. Team number 4 versus team number 10. If I was you guys, I'd be terrified because they have 4, 5, 6. He's literally the main character.
Let's go. 321.
Go. Oh. Obviously, we have no way of rigging it, but 456 and 067 both survived tug of war. Let's draw a boy. 9 versus 11. In this game with t 9 versus team 11, they went so hard that this happened.
They are going all out. Look at them. Holy cow. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Oh, no.
You guys can move on. Go ahead and head on now. Togawar took us from 120 people down to 60. And remember, only one of these people is walking away with $456,000 Alright, everybody. Do we have your attention? As you guys know from Squid Games, game number 4 is marbles.
I don't know if I'd
be cheering because instead of letting you pick your partner, we're gonna make you partner with your best friend. Throughout this entire challenge, we've been monitoring who you've been talking to the most, and we're gonna make you partner up with them. And only one of you can move on. For example, 067 and 431.
That's my best friend.
According to this, you 2 are roommates and best friends. We did our research.
I have to come home to the house we live in at the end of the day? You're gonna be a bit awkward. Wouldn't be able to do it without you. We couldn't have done it without each other. I'm glad I'm with you at
the end. Everybody gets a bag of 10 marbles, and they have to agree on a game to play it against their best friend. Twenty marbles lets them move on, but by winning, they eliminate their best friend. Go ahead and start the timer. You can play whatever game you want. You need 20 to leave. A lot of pairs went with marble games that were played in Squid Game. Odd.
Even? Odd or even? Even on What? What game are you? We don't know. 1 marble at a time is gonna take your hold of it. Can't you keep talking to him right? Okay.
And other groups got creative. What is this game?
We're throwing at some bricks. Right? If you get the middle one right there, that's one point. But if you hit the bricks in the behind, then it's behind, then it's 3 points. Everything else is no points until, like, the clock runs down, whoever has the most points as you win.
Alright. Well, good luck with your game. But one group just wanted to get it over with. You're doing even odds for all of them. Yo. He looks so intense.
He's got one more. I'm sure he is.
Oh, he got it. Oh my gosh. Congratulations on winning. I'll see you in the next round.
Everybody, you're good. Okay? Pretty sad. It's gonna be okay. We promised each other we were not gonna, like, screw each other over. I didn't even know we were gonna be this close. I'm doing this for my family, but I'm nervous. The best man's gonna win. The best man's gonna win, man.
The best man's gonna win.
Everybody, you got 5 minutes left.
Don't look at me. They wanna put 465 $1,000 up to a coin flip. That's make it sound like that. Tails.
It's tails.
Yo. Oh, no. Oh my god.
I'll give you the honor of eliminating It doesn't hurt.
Before I
eliminate you, I wanna let the viewers know that someone random that subscribes to the next 7 days is getting $10,000.
So if
you haven't already, hit the subscribe button. Okay?
Can I do it? Go for it. Just right there.
Oh, don't fall. They're so dramatic.
So if
you haven't already, subscribe if you're cool in 10 grand. What game are we playing?
The wall.
A minute and 15 seconds remains. When I hit 0, if you're in here, you're eliminated.
What's up, man? What What do you mean?
You're literally I'm both about to get eliminated. Oh. What was that?
Why'd you do that? You sure? Yes. Yeah.
It's been fun. Thank you, sir.
I love you, man.
The time has hit 0. Everyone in here is eliminated. Congratulations on surviving marbles. At this point in the real show, there was an all out brawl to thin the numbers. So instead, we're gonna play dachi. You have to use this blue piece of paper to flip that red one on the ground by throwing it. The first 16 of you to flip your red square moves on to glass bridge. Which is personally my favorite game.
Everyone throw. Oh, wow. We didn't even get anyone. And while they're fighting for their chance in this competition, I wanna tell you guys about Brawl Stars, who helped fund this video, which cost over 3 and a half $1,000,000. Thank you so much. Throw.
Yeah. Raw
stars is a mobile game you can play at home on the go in this arena, wherever you want against millions of people across the world. Did anyone?
Oh, we got them. Yeah.
Congratulations. It's 3 minutes of adrenaline filled mayhem. And they have 12 different game modes, including their own battle royale, which is kind of similar to what we're doing here. Yes. Yes. Let's go. Woah.
Yeah. Let's go.
We have 9 winners so far, which means only 7 places remain. Do you you said you played Ball Stars?
We both did.
Oh, you both played Brawl Stars? What are your thoughts on Brawl Stars?
That's pretty fun. It's a mobile game. You can download it on Android or Apple.
I didn't tell them to say this.
This. Watch it. Yo. The main character survived.
As you can see, you see the Brawl Stars logo. He did it. They have over 50 different characters you can play as from a vintage driven robot to a cactus named Spike that kinda looks like Nolan. Hey. And like all our contestants here are leaving with $2,000 for free today, every single person that plays Brawl Stars in the next 7 days, I will personally be giving you a free prize. So if you haven't already, go download it. If you yell thank you, Brawl Stars before you throw, I hear you'll flip it.
Thank you, Brawl Stars. Oh, it worked for him. Oh my god. It's true.
Thank you, bro.
And for the 14 of you that didn't flip it, I'm gonna have to eliminate you. Oh, that was so in sync. Oh my gosh. Now can all of you winners turn around? Thank you. And now you can turn around again. We just filled the room with 16 different mannequins, and here's the thing. They're actually in a random order, and the numbers on them are in Korean. And the number they get here is what order they have to cross in Glass Bridge.
In a timely and orderly fashion, you can all go. Okay.
1st come, 1st serve.
What'd you get?
Oh, she got 1. Oh. 15. Okay. 2. Alright. Hey.
You wanna just go ahead and leave now? Everyone has a best with numbers. Let's go to glass bridge. We are now at the glass bridge set, and look at how insane this thing looks. It is amazing. And bring out the contestants. I can't wait to see the look on their faces. Oh,
what? Oh my god.
Players, welcome to Glassbridge. There is 2 platforms you can jump on. 1 will drop you and 1 will hold you. Start the timer. Begin the challenge. Okay.
Let's go, girl.
I'm sticking with it, guys. I'm sticking with it. I'm sticking. I'm sticking.
Alright. She survived the
first jump.
Okay. They are 1 for 1 so far.
Go right. I'm always right.
Okay. I don't know if I'd listen to Chris.
Chris is on you. Hey. Victory.
We had our 1st loss. If you're wondering where she just fell, don't worry. There's a giant foam pit down there. She's fine.
Well, now now you know. Now you know. Lift. Come on. 13 minutes, guys.
We now have 3 people on the platform. Only one out so far.
I'm not moving. I want somebody past 8 to take the next step. Past 8? Alright. I love that. Yo.

How many did you guess right? 3. 3. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Honestly, it's time someone else steps up.
Hey. Every second somebody doesn't step up, that's less time you got.
Hey. If no one crosses, I just keep the money.
Alright. 3 one for it. Oh. Oh.
Larry just got eliminated. Alright. 2. He took TL for you.
And do you think 2?

Under 8 minutes. You still got a ton of ground to cover.
Yeah. He's

The 4 people were 16, 8, 13, and 5. Alright. So the 4 losers, can you jump off? Just jump. You're eliminated. You're eliminated.
You're eliminated. Get out of here. Thank you for coming out.
And all of you are moving on to the final game
that we made before under $60,000. Let's go. Congratulations on making it to the top 6. To celebrate, we made you all steak dinners. Now, unlike the show, this isn't a real knife. This is plastic. But you do have steak. Everyone make sure you eat up so you have plenty of energy for this final game.
I'm thinking about winning all of that money right now. I'm gonna probably give most of it to my family, friends. That money's coming home with me, giving a 100 k straight to my mama. I'm feeling great. Just blessed to be here. I'm gonna pull through. I'm definitely donating about 10,000 to team C's, which all of you should if you have the means.
I won't fold on no pressure. I'm not worried about none of these 5. Ain't nobody got nothing on me, so I'm good.
You wanna just go settle this with the final game?
Let's do it. Yeah. Okay. Let's do it.
Let's do it. Welcome to the final game of beast games. So I think you guys can piece together what we're about to play.
Musical chairs. Musical chairs. Yeah.
Let's test my hypothesis. Raise your hand if you know how to play squid game. Exactly.
That's why
we're doing musical chairs instead because we're not Korean. Start circling. Start the music. Carl, you can stop it whenever you want. Carl, do not look. Chris, don't look. Carl isn't looking, so we can't be biased. Alright.
Let's see what happens. Oh. Oh, he got it.
I got more, man.
I'm pretty sure. Way more.
I'm sorry about that. Oh. Oh, no. Oh, my god.
Bring the coffin over here. Hop on in the coffin. He has officially been eliminated and 5 remain. This chair is now gone. Carl, start the music. E
e. Okay. E e. You have full 3 oh. Oh, nice. Hold
on. Hold
on. No more movement. Come over here, Tariq. No. Why'd you get it? No.
No. He
had it.
No. He had it.
He had it. At least he is on his oh my gosh. And while they're confident him up, play the music. Okay. The music has begun. $456,000 on the line.
It's about to happen at any second. Oh, man.
Oh, you sound
oh, Joe. He sat early. He sat early.
Carl did not stop the music. Bring out the coffin. I'm gonna have to pop you. Man, that's such a sad way to go out.
It was a great journey. I loved it. It was so fun.
Hop on in the coffin. Alright. Now you can't say this is scripted. Good luck. Okay. The music has started. 3 people, 2 chairs, one must go. Keep it moving.
Now you gotta keep moving. Gotta keep moving.
Oh, no. Yes. Yes.
They were they were against me. They were against
me, bro. Oh my god.
They fodded on me.
You have been eliminated. Open up the coffin. Thank you for coming out, man. No problem. I loved your energy. At the start of this video, we had 456 people, and now we're down to these 2. Yeah. Okay.
I'm gonna take this chair right here. You guys gotta keep moving the entire time. No stopping and hovering. This will determine which one of you wins 456 grand. Paul, kick the music on. E. And let it let it play a little bit, Carl. E.
E. Let's let him let's let him soak in it. Carl's not looking at them. He has no idea where they are on the chair. Somebody's gonna get $456,000 because you paused the music.
Oh, boy. Oh, this is,
the intensity. When will he pause it? When's he gonna pause it?
No. Yes.
Better, I'm gonna give you $10,000 for coming in 2nd place.
