13-Year-Old Becomes 1st Human to 'Beat' Tetris 

As someone who still plays this game on my phone, I salute this young man. He is The One!

He is the HERO OF ALL TETRIS! LETS GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE 👏

I love how they support his love of the game. The outcome will live with him for a lifetime

Congratulations Willis! His excitement when he realizes he beat the game made me so happy!!😊

This is more amazing then completing any other game in the world. Summarizes my childhood.

I only played the game once, but after seeing this kid beat the CPU in Tetris, he definitely deserves the praise from me and everyone else that played the game. As for the news anchor in London that told him to "go outside" and beating a game "isn't a life goal", I dare her to say that in front of him and his mom. Willis Gibson, I know that after all of this, you'll get an award from the creators of Tetris and Nintendo for your amazing achievement. You have mine and everyone else's full support, and you'll have a better life than what that anchor from London said. Needless to say, your college fund will be taken care of after this! Congrats, Willis!

Willis waited his whole life for this moment and nailed it 😊

You can BEAT Tetris??!!?! 😮 Congratulations Buddy! 🎉

Whoa! Now that’s crazy remarkable! For a young boy like him, he had achieved what no one else couldn’t!

Back in the days none of us would have known that we beat Tetris we would have just thought that the Nintendo froze. Congrats to the kid!

That is a Level Infinity achievement, right there!

Congratulation to the kid for not only beat the machine game but also get the Guinness world record.

Y’all did a better job than “SkyNews” reporting this. They told him to “go outside” and how this isn’t a “life goal”.

Even the machine gave up during the game 😂 Congrats to the young gamer 👏

Congratulations on Mr. Wills Gibson of Oklahoma a winning tetris game against the computer he definitely deserves it after his hard work of playing Tetris! 👏

I dont think people understand. The level record 5 years ago was only like 35. Genuinely insane

An ‘old soul’, nostalgia, Tetris never dies. Glad to see young people/kids still playing the legendary game. 😊 Congratulations on the win! 👏

"He's so obsessed with tetris we lug the huge TV around so he can play when we go visit ppl" lol.... nope. That's when I'd introduce him to a shocking plot twist.... Tetris is also on Gameboy....

I'm a 52 year old man, and this young man is my hero, i've had many battles with Tetris.

Human will always beat a machine.

That's Awesome & I love how the family supports him with his game and his dreams ❤

To this day, I still see the pieces dropping when I close my eyes to sleep. Congrats to this young man.

If this guy beat it, I hope that guy teaches us how to beat it.

Bro is smarter than your average mars rover rocket space engineer 💀💀💀

Imagine being the first human to ever do anything! That is a feat in itself

Pretty darn AWESOME! Way to go! I'm so super excited for you! WHOHOO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Someone get this man a steamdeck 😂😭 you don’t have to lug that TV around to use the same controller my man lol. But great job dude!! I’m a Tetris lover myself. Wait until he sees it in VR lol

This boy is the hero of Tetris! I salute this kid and how he managed to get so far!

This kid is definitely getting all the high fives and date requests at school for this, and he deserves it!

He is the chosen one!!!!!🛡️⚔️ we must protect Willis at all costs

Willis should get the Guinness World Records for this!

Hell yeah!!!! 💪💪 Awesome job kid!! Way to go Willis!!!! 💪🔥

Phenomenon!!! Congratulations!!! You were the first person in the world to beat Tetris, one of the most classic games that exists to date, no person has gone as far to reach this high level as you, it has become unbeatable and impossible to reach this stage of this game! Congratulations.

We’ve found the messiah

A moment of silence for those who beat it but did not record it nor made it news since mid 80s. Especially in the 80s.

This is like Billy Mitchell making it to level 256 in Pac-Man.

Congrats to this guy for beating Tetris.

Damn congrats on your win there man

I've seen him play on live stream Tetris tournaments. He's good.

Awesome 👍 congratulations kiddo😊 happy 2024

Skynet watch out, it's not just John Conner you gotta worry about

I like how they interviewed him just for him to not say a word 😂

I like how his mom is wearing his youtube channel's merch. Supportive++

That's AMAZING!!!! Yes!!! Finally someone! Good job little man!! 🙌👏

Dang Big congrats to the kid

The only problem with this is that computers will want revenge after this. Besides that, congrats on beating the game, Willis!

i remember waking up a few days ago and checking discord to my friend telling me someone got the crash, which i thought was straight up impossible. but now, there’s one theoretically possible ending left, being the “rebirth screen”. get to level 256 and the game literally rolls over to level 0. you have to deliberately avoid crashes as well which is scary as hell

This is evidence that the speed of human intelligence is still better than the speed of computers and artificial intelligence

Thank you, young man for finally beating it! I wasted hours of my life back in the beginning of 90x, and finally someone could do it for me 😁

I’m glad he’ll be there to protect us against Skynet

Back in the good ol’ days, game crashes were more rare than lightning striking twice.

Well done kiddo 👏

Great skills😮

I beat Tetris just like that back in the early 90's. But of course I didn't tell anyone. Just kept that little victory to myself. 😉

His dad died a couple weeks before he was able to break the game. His dad was always super supportive of him and would tell everyone how proud he was of his sons tetris skills. It ment more than just winning or being the first

Thought this was fake at first, and the level below didn't help me understand what level he was truly on. I got it, and no one explained it. The game reset the level once you past 20, so someone has to record to see how many times it reset and doing it live stream. Awesome. How hasn't he become the champion of all the tetris tournament yet? It's usually about survival in these tournaments so... he should win all the time right? I know after this no one wants to compete with this guy. Congrats 🎉!!!

He never gave up. This kid is my hero

That's my game, so addicting! Iykyk! Lol. 😁

Bro really outsmarted the system 💀

Good game! that was a great achievement

We done got someone beating Tetris before GTA 6 😭

A champion has been crowned, after many years!

Congratulations 🎉 well done!

This is freaking awesome! Congrats dude

1:00 _"I swear, mom, I'm not watching something dirty!"_

I'm more shocked to learn no one has ever won before to be honest. So, not even the programmers? And I thought there were only so many shapes and so many places they could go

Definitely a feat for the books.

Give this man an award, he is the KING

I wonder if there was a guy that could master the Offline T-Rex Game on his computer.

That’s very impressive

After ANOTHER battle of teenager vs video game, the teenager wins.

He also did this for his passing father btw

I swear i’ve seen other people hit 999,999 before wtf

Congratulations, Willis!!

Bravo lol. The excitement he had let us all know just how epic that moment was 😂

Congratulations to you!🎉 I too used to play this game with my children in the 80's... very fond memories, thank you!🥰

Bros obsessed with Tetris 😭

Respect to this dude! I still play this game and appreciate the level of dedication and skill.

I flipped the score in asteroids for the Atari 2600 in the early 80s, no lie. My parents should have captured that moment on a shoulder mounted VHS camcorder.

Wow! I only ever reached level 14 on my OG Gameboy! Kid is a BEAST!

you made history! Congratulations!

GOOD JOB SON 👏🏼

Imagine a 7 Year Old beating Tetris! It’d be the record for the Youngest Tetris Player to beat it.

Didn’t expect y’all to report on this 😂

Incredible, I gotta say this kid knew how to beat the game, I played it on my xbox360 10 years ago and I couldn't pass level 12 or 20. A new record has been broken for 2024.

No joke, he should actually compete in Tetris tournaments. I know out here in Arizona, we have our yearly Expo, Game On Expo, where CWTC hosts a big Tetris tournament.

This happens the same day rage against the machine said they will play no more.

THIS KID NEEDS A WHOLE PAGE IN GUINESS WORLD RECORDS

He made the NEWS?! lol amazing

Congrats to him! He was so genuinely surprised ha ha. What a way to make the news 🙂

I’m impressed

That’s crazy

Great job young man 👏👍🏼

This should become a Netflix Video Game Documentary. Congrats to the GOAT who beat the game.

Tetris King 👑 🎮

I had no idea humans couldn't beat it

Atleast this news reporter didn't mock or shame him

If only I could find Wetris, another game from the 80’s

Awesome and people say video games aren't good for your brain this man just made a new record 🎉 😎

I rise a wine glass to this dude, nobody knew it was possible
