How to Beat the DEATH GAME in "GAME OF DEATH"

One of the best and easiest ways to beat this challenge is to not have any friends at all and play video games alone instead.

This is why you always need to read the warning label on the back of the box stating "Warning: Playing this game will cause your head to explode or commit murder to those around you. Play at your own risk. For Ages 4 And Up"

Beth and Tom’s decent into becoming completely detached from reality is honestly such a cool arc honestly

Nerd is one traumatic event away from becoming the scariest slasher in existence with his Bestoke Post blade.

The most unrealisitc thing about this movie is that they all decided to play a Boardgame that came out of nowhere. Do you have any idea of how hard it is to convince someone to even try a boardgame!? XD

Realistically, 5 minutes just isn't enough time for anything. I don't think this would be beaten. In order to keep ahead of the timer, you'd basically have to immediately start attacking your close neighbours. If it becomes a struggle, like if you don't have a gun, you could spend the entire 5 minute timer trying and failing to kill one person.

I think the question at the end perfectly illustrates "bad" horror movies. Its like when writing they knew betrayals, intimacy, and unexpected deaths make a good horror movie, and then never learned how to properly implement them. Beth didn't really seem to do anything rationally, or even understandably irrationally, it just seemed like in every situation she did whatever they needed her to do to get the twist, regardless of if the last however minutes we watched are going to make sense when she does it.

A 52-second Lannister. Greatest quote ever. That scene also just looked really really weird lol

I like how nerd explains always explains how the first death was unavoidable since they didn’t know what they got into to, while cinema summary always says the first death is completely avoidable, saying that they were stupid to not take it seriously

Honestly, there was no way in hell that they were going to get away with it without going to prison. Also, them being able to kill 24 people without getting in a confrontation with the entire police force is a huge stretch. Gunfire is incredibly loud and several gunshots at a time accompanied with blood will 100% cause someone to call 911. The ranger’s death going unnoticed is not going to happen, and she should have called for backup as soon as she saw blood after hearing a shot.

He literally just explained to us how to get away with murder

I kinda feel for Tom & Beth here, they acted fast and managed to fulfil the conditions for all players' survival--in arguably the least bad way at that, targeting an extended care facility with most victims being at the end of their lives already--only for Ashley to punish them for it before killing Tyler and not even having the decency to commit suicide, instead accepting her victory

Lesson learned from Nerd Explains videos: never play any game with friends, never leave your house, never approach any situation no matter how benign it may seem, and never talk to anybody

Nerd Explains and Cinema Summary are my favorite I love they're "how to survive" videos Imagine if they collabed

ngl the animated sequence of Tom and Beth's killing spree was really well done

Out of all the videos I've seen in this series, I think this is the most "unbeatable" game.

Honestly Tom becoming a fucking psychopath because of the game is actually a cool arc. The actor sells it. He seems very disconnected from what he’s doing. “I’m playing the game” not bad, movie.

"Dont play old mysterious board games" Listen, if I find a game called Jumanji I'm 100% playing it

Yeah that ending really seems like something that would happen in Reno 911. Also the sudden animations during that last montage were really interesting and visually appealing IMO, definitely not what I expected out of a movie named “Game of Death”. The filming suddenly switching to first person for a moment or something similar to what you’d see in an Evil Dead movie is intriguing. I can’t say this is a movie I’d watch myself, but I think I need to look into it a little more to see who was involved.

Nobody talking bout how the siblings just randomly being romantic lovers bruh wtfff

I don't want to die but honestly killing 24 people to save my ass is a dick move. I would just say 'I love you' to my family and peace out on my own terms. On the bright side at least I get to find out if this is all a simulation or not

Got this board game for family game night last summer. Stupid thing gave all of us hepatitis and killed half my family. Well, the manual did promise some good immersion, so I'll allow it. 2/10

Sir, the degree to which you masterfully thought this out with (seemingly) no hesitation is both scary and respectable. You'd make an excellent vigilante. 10/10

The most unbelievable part of the movie was the 5 lady cops at the end lol

Nothing better than an upload from nerd explains on this dreary Thursday!

I love the honesty at the start where you said you would be more curious the less you found out about it.

Good thing me and my friends have an agreement to end ourselves in these kind of situations instead of killing other people for our dumb decisions. Seriously if we're dumb enough to touch something cursed with all our horror knowledge we deserve it.

Tyler was the best one he didnt want to kill and he didnt betray anyone

The worst thing about using a car to kill someone is the fact that, at the speed required to actually finish the deed, you will qreck your car entirely, making walking your only alternative. It would be much more efficient to use the car to commit a couple if drive bys with the gun gta san andreas style. After 2 or 3 kills, search for another car rinse and repeat. After you finish, keep moving towards the nearest border , switching cars every couple hundred miles. Your best bet is to leave your country. If you can leave a victim in the origional drive by vehicle with a couple of bullets in it and place it behind the wheel, and then place a second victim behind the car with entrails leaving to it, leaving the gun with the second body, you could fool the police into thinking you were killed by being run over. Then flee to mexico or canada and work on creating a new identity.

I love that Nerd Explains consistently introduces me to new horror films I’ve never heard of.

my man you are 100% getting on a list for this vid... you really told us how to get away with murder

i feel bad for the old man. he seemed so sweet checking in on them...

It's honestly kind of ironic how basically everyone Ashley saved from being killed, she ended up killing herself. She stopped Tom from killing the ranger only to kill the ranger to save Tyler, who she then later killed to the end the game. Hell, had Tyler ran and barricaded himself while waiting out the clock Ashley might've been forced to kill Samantha herself, who she had saved from Beth. Granted I don't really think the run and barricade himself somewhere option really would've worked for Tyler, as far as I'm aware we have no confirmation that who will die due to running out of time will change without that person being dead. It's entirely possible that had they just run out the clock instead Tyler's head would've exploded anyways, only way running would work is if the target of the player execution changes each death (or it changes when the execution starts, regardless of if the execution is goes through or is interrupted by killing someone else), in which case it's a flip of the coin on who dies. Honestly if I was Tyler I would've just gone for the gun no matter what, sure running is a potential 50/50 chance of survival, but I'd rather not leave my fate up to a coin flip, especially since Ashley probably isn't trained to use a shotgun and through her killing Beth I'd know that shotgun is loaded with slugs. It's entirely possible that even if she gets a shot off while I go for the gun she wont have the accuracy for it to be fatal for certain, and in the time it'd take her to her to ready another round I'd likely have been able to get and fire the pistol, and since it's a pistol I can just unload the rest of the clip to account for low accuracy from not being firearm trained, having been potentially shot, and being in a disadvantageous position. Granted this all requires the gun to still be loaded after Beth's killing spree as Beth likely wasn't checking how much ammo she had left so it's entirely possible she was out when going to kill Samantha, in which case... fuck, police would enter and either detain Ashley or kill her if she tried to aim at them which probably wont count for the game as a player didn't make the kill, in the former case it's back to 50/50 and in the latter case I die. With the police basically right outside the room as well if Ashley gets off a non-fatal shot first they'd hear that the shotgun fired first and would know me killing her is in self defense, I'd probably be able to get out of any charges (or at least with a reduced sentence) as well since Tyler's only other kill would be running over the jogger which can easily be argued that it was forced to under duress (assuming the supernatural death game didn't already accomplish that, which probably wouldn't as it's kinda obvious no one believed it if Ashley used it as part of her defense considering it ended up being handed out at corrupt police Christmas) as Tom and Beth literally went on a killing spree and the pistol was Tom's originally (all of which easy to prove with the gun being registered to Tom, and fingerprints and/or security footage showing that the gun was mainly in Tom or Beth's possession). Hell if the ranger had a dash cam or something that would make it easier as that would put clear evidence on Tom having the gun at the time of the jogger's death, and would prove that I was completely uninvolved with the ranger's death as I was clearly incapacitated at the time with the game's player execution in progress. Granted still Second Degree Intentional Homicide unfortunately so not much of a reduced sentence, but hey at least it's only a single count of Second Degree Intentional Homicide rather than several counts of it like the others would get at minimum (yeah, even if Beth and Tom could argue they did their kill spree under duress, it'd still be several counts of Second Degree Intentional Homicide, so they'd get much longer than the minimum 60 years for a single count of it).

I think Ashley knew what she was doing the entire time. It was shown in the start she was cheating on her boyfriend with someone else. It means she is fully capable of decivivng others long as it benefits her. I think when she killed the park ranger it was to keep Tyler on her side so she could take out Beth and Tom.

I love how you used so much footage from other movies to illustrate ur points, that shows hard work to your videos cuz it takes a long time to edit that footage in

Thanks for putting the song in the description, been searching for it for ages.

I love the amount of practical head explosions in this movie. Genuinely kick ass.

A good portion of this video just feels like a rough guide on how to get away with serial murder

Amazing content as always! Could you do more horror? Like Insidious or The Ring, that would be mindblowing!!

19:18 Yes, but rather shift up and down as much as possible, because it is easier to do without slowing down, while it is a lot harder to adjust a gun up and down and still shoot accurately (because of kickback and the general person’s tendency to flinch) while adjusting side to side is the difference in a breathe

The moment I heard the first 20 seconds (or so) of this clip, my immediate reaction is, "Why don't you kill 24 insects?" Also, that board was on top of the... original NES! That thing is awesome! My attention would be on that instead. Also, they're a group of hot (?) men and women. Why aren't they killing time by the ancient art called "copulation"?

Sollution- Take out the batteries to the screen. Also, Damn, Jumanji took one hell of a turn.

I saw this movie so long ago I think on the Syfy or chiller channel. But I can never remember the name! Always fun to see movies like this appear on your account

As much as the host of this channel makes it brutally clear that he’ll kill others without hesitation only if iit comes to no other option to live (which I understand) , him not suggesting - or even considering other options first BEFORE coming to a bust - that Ashley should kill anyone else in a building full of people she’s in, made me question the host’s mental.

I always love the amount of work he puts into his videos and it’s a great pass of time. Keep up the good work!

What if they all die? The game stops with what, 14 kills left? Or does it target random people

A lot of handguns nowadays come with a spent casing in the box from the manufacturer. They get the ballistics and keep that spent bullet to keep it on file for murder cases comparisons

I think the fact that you didn't mention "Through no fault of the defendant" when talking about duress is an oversight. They chose to play the game thus by extension making the situation their fault yes?

Wait...the movie's called "Game of Death" and it involves...A DEATH GAME?! :0

it was already unnatural how much blood the game sucked out of a teeny-tiny sting on a finger tip. that alone should have sent them into a frenzy.

Kid: *"mom can we have cinema summary?"* mom: *"no we already have cinema summary at home"* the cinema summary at home: (this is not a hate comment this meme idea just came to my mind and seemed harmless)

The john wick clip made me laugh, just thinking about him starting the game for it to end 5 seconds later because he got enough kills

Every time I play a game, I just start humming this song and I’m just immediately thinking “If this is a death game and I might die, what would Nerd Explains do?” I think I watch too much of this channel. Also can you do the Conjuring next?

I've been watching since the train to busan episode and eagerly wait for each new episode to come out, since this channel got me hooked on "how to survive" videos. Actually taught me a good amount about how to survive some situations. Great work dude!

This vid is gonna get you put on a list lol

24:17 - 22 second lannister moment GOT me good.

I love receiving new videos notifications from your channel. The content keeps getting better, keep it up.

6:50 Literallt battlefield squad mates. Hey, theres a sniper there! *peaks out of cover and dies*

This guy is a little too good to know how to get away with murder

It's always a good day when nerd explains uploads

damn never woulda guessed there was death games in game of death

Always fun to watch these videos. When you make these, especially about B movies I think when criticizing some character's pointless actions or stupidity you might have to consider stating its due to lazy writing. lol Pointing out if Ashley forgot people's brain will explode because of how she acts makes more sense when acknowledging that the writers were unsure of how to make a consistent character lol

I feel like if Tyler was able to kill Ashley he could have just gotten away entirely since she was obviously trying to kill him and his injuries could prove that. With the way Ashley just gave up and dropped to the ground it's almost like telling the troopers that you are guilty since you are being calm and collected, if Tyler was able to kill Ashley and then acted panicked and tried to seek comfort in the trooper arms while yelling "they were trying to kill me" I feel that would give an insanely obvious duress sign, on the other hand Ashley could have done the same if she would have killed him before the troopers arrived, and I'm not saying this would entirely be the case but since she is a girl she would most likely receive special treatment, but instead she just dropped to the ground in one of the most obvious shows of guilt a criminal could do.

Problematic take: statistically speaking it takes a lot longer for people to discover if street sex workers or people experiencing homelessness to be investigated if killed (most serial killers go for these first) so if the gang had any time they should try to solicit sex workers and murder them to not get caught. Cops are notorious for not really investigating the deaths of sex workers or homeless people as they are seen as a lower priority than other people, and often they lack support networks that would come looking for them/put any pressure on the policr to investigate

I just love your videos dude keep up the good work. Btw the music at the end is really the best and gives me chills every time.

Thinking a killer knocked on your door after shooting your friend really isn't a dumb thought it could be a distraction or a sick twisted killer toying their victims,that really happens

Just found another favorite channel!

There’s nothing in the game rules that says you have to die permanently. Maybe if they got some drugs like heroin and some narcan or a defibrillator they could overdose or come close to death, then be revived. Maybe that would count towards a death? 🧐

"If the board game required you to kill 24 people what would you do?" I would go to class🙃

I think Ashley could fight the charges. The first kill she did was under duress. Then she figured Tom and Beth were going on a killing spree. Beth she shot in defense then Tom tried attacking them for Beth’s death. Tyler took out Tom in self defense and she can say tyler then turned to attack her and the last shot was self defense. The child could be a witness about Beth’s death and could make the story possible. Hopefully the hospital didn’t have cameras.

“This game murdered my grandma, 2/10” I would be so pissed to be the grandma since my grandchildren didn’t even give it a 1/10 even though it killed me

Dang that was quick, was expecting at least 3 more days. Keep it going bro!

“That’s what 911 is for, so you can risk other people’s lives.” 😂

I love nerd because he lets me know of dope scary movies I haven't heard of and hes reviews are generally better than the movie lol

Side note, the best gifts are ones you never forget or that last a long time. Wife has been getting bespoke post for over 3 years and still enjoying the items we get monthly👌 mostly camping stuff. 9/10 would recommend

A new episode is good on any day, it's what makes my day better and actually good

2 years now asking for the CUBE sequels! he already started with the first one in the trio, so I know he can do it, and I know he's been seeing these comments every video! :)

I'm 5 months late to the party....... But Got a to love that Game of thrones reference pulling a Lannister lol

These videos are so much better than the movies themselves

"The board game was found on a pile of random crap." Under the board game sits an NES. Ouch, right in the feels.

I swear the sponsor transitions are getting smoother and smoother also this might be the only sponser I actually check out. Have a damn good day

I love the background music with this movie tho :3 almost every scene in this video makes it look like a music video unless it's just me 😅

The game of death is one of the most unsettling horror movies I have ever watched. To be honest, the suspense and the feeling of dread were real !

So cool seeing someone excell at making something they love into a career. Very inspiring i hope to do so myself. Love all your vids dude keep it up, keep making the most of this small life the universe gives us ✊

You're right about running in a zig zag pattern being a bad idea that slows you down. But. Sudden movements to the sides are important for survival, not just 'not running in a straight line'.

Kinda scares me how much he thought about murdering enough people and getting away with it.

That thumbnail is so fecked up... I love it!

Love your content man keep it up 👍🤟

Me: Can we play Jumanji? Mum: We have Jumanji at home

Let’s go appreciate the video and keep up the good work

Wouldn't killing the other players be a bad idea? It increases the chances of you being the next one to pop.

Lesson learned from this one and jumanji: *Don't play the board games you randomly find*

Remove the license plates?! That’s a perfect way to get pulled over😂

*When you’re on nerd explains team in a death battle* Me: yay we are going to survive Nerd explains: who is we?

Nerd Explains: this is how to get through this horror movie Cops: are you the zodiac killer?

Imagine a Cinema summary and nerd explains collab IRL doing a escape room together all recorded, that would be so juicy

Nerd explains is my daily dose of relaxation and laughs

Your segue into the ads has been beautifully done.?$

Nice to see Demolition Ranch (via Garand Thumb) in there.
