13-Year-Old Willis Gibson Makes History as First Person to Beat Tetris, Reveals Secret to His Victory on Fantástico

Teenager who beat ‘Tetris’ tells Fantástico the secret of his historic feat

Willis Gibson, a 13-year-old American teenager, became the first player to officially beat the classic video game Tetris. The purpose of the game is to stack blocks strategically.

Last month, in a room, alone, he broadcast his game live on the internet. The boy completed the game which, it was believed, had no defined ending.

The teenager used an original video game from the 1980s to do this.

During the course of the match, he advanced to stage 157 and reached the maximum stage of the game. The game crashed and a “Death Screen” was displayed, which appears when you reach the top of Tetris. This screen only appeared before when the “player” was artificial intelligence.

Tetris, created with the aim of challenging players to fit four-square blocks together, has gained worldwide fame since its launch, becoming one of the most popular games on various platforms and electronic devices.

Willis Gibson used an innovative technique called “rolling” in the game to manipulate the control buttons at high speed, a fundamental skill for his victory in the game.
