Glass Bridge...

Dumbest game of the bunch. Pathways were wide enough that you could hold out your hands to the side and grab the rails on each end, saving yourself from a death fall or just shimmying all the way to the other side from the outside where the lightbulbs were. Heck, you could just run along the middle if you wanted to. There was no rules against that.

You know that part where that lady grabbed the toughest grunt and took him with her to their deaths? He could've broken the fall with her body and most likely survived it as her flat breasts along with his heavy gut would've cushioned most of fall damage.

Really I hated that game, as the others were about skill, the glass bridge game was about luck. It was unfair for the first few players.

[–] Rorikon (16735) 3 years ago

It was skill as well since player 13 was a glass constructor of sort. He had the skill know how or how to detect what glass was tempered or normal until the VIP's cheated (so much for equality and fairness they paraded about during the previous games. Even the ending was like we gave you a choice but that choice could've been subject to change anytime on their whims.

I think you misunderstand this game. If they had started running down the support rails or grabbing the rails if they fell and shimmying to the end, they would have been shot instantly. It was a number thinning game that required sacrifice to proceed.

My issue with this game was I couldn't think of a childhood game in which this was based on. All the other games had a grounding or link to children's games but I don't believe this one did. Then again, I didn't grow up in SK. Perhaps there is some weird game this was inspired by. It certainly wasn't made clear though.

Thing is, there was no rules stating you couldn't do that unlike the Red Light, Green Light. When they specifically repeat the rules, you have to abide by them which many did not. This particular one didn't even repeat it and the VIP's cheated near the end by turning off the lights. Either way it was rigged.

I think the closest is hopscotch? Jumping on squares and balancing on one leg.

I'm pretty sure it was worded in a way of something like "players must step on the glass to determine which route is safe". I think that removed any circumventing of that rule.

Yeah. Hopscotch was the closest I could think of too.

Suggest rewatching the episode, they never said players MUST step on the glass. Only said one is tempered and one is normal and that the safe one can hold 2 people at a time. That was it.

It's moot I feel. The first person to try an obvious safe path would be shot in the head and the rules clarified for everyone else.
