A long-running Geometry Dash creator known for completing levels blindfolded is facing renewed scrutiny after a YouTube exposé accused him of faking years of viral runs using video editing techniques.
Geometry Dash player WorldGame has built a following over more than a decade for his “Geometry Dash with Closed Eyes” series, in which he claims to complete some of the game’s most difficult levels while blindfolded. His videos, which date back roughly 11 years, have accumulated millions of views, with his blindfolded completion of Clubstep standing out as his most famous achievement.
That legacy is now being challenged by YouTuber TreblePKGD, who uploaded a video titled “Exposing WorldGame | The Blindfolded Geometry Dash Guy.” In the video, TreblePKGD alleges that WorldGame’s blindfolded completions were staged through masking and compositing rather than performed live and legitimately.
Claims center on masking and visual inconsistencies
According to TreblePKGD, the issue goes beyond inflated attempt counts, something WorldGame has previously been accused of by parts of the Geometry Dash community. The video argues that the blindfolded runs themselves are likely illegitimate, citing numerous visual inconsistencies across multiple uploads.
Masking, as described in the exposé, is a video editing technique where one clip is layered over another, selectively revealing parts of the underlying footage. TreblePKGD claims WorldGame could have recorded himself failing repeatedly at the start of a level while blindfolded, then later completed the level normally without a blindfold. The two clips could then be combined so that the blindfolded footage overlays the successful run.
The video points to several alleged indicators of this process. These include parts of levels briefly appearing at the edges of WorldGame’s monitor during early videos, inconsistent reflections along the screen border, and what TreblePKGD describes as visible “cut lines” where a mask appears to separate WorldGame’s hand from the rest of the scene.
Other moments highlighted include fingers or hands appearing to morph between frames, sections of WorldGame’s hand being abruptly cut off when his other hand passes in front of it, and a near-total lack of right-hand movement during most attempts. TreblePKGD argues this stillness would make masking significantly easier to maintain without noticeable errors.
Clubstep blindfolded completion questioned
The accusations are most pointed when applied to WorldGame’s Clubstep blindfolded run, which he claimed took 2.1 million attempts and over 100 million jumps. TreblePKGD notes that, if accurate, this would be the highest attempt count for a completion in the game’s history.
In the exposé, TreblePKGD highlights moments just before the completion where WorldGame’s finger appears to change shape, along with multiple instances where parts of the hand seem clipped by a mask. The video also notes that WorldGame’s largest visible reaction occurs only after the level is completed, when rapid arm movement could allow a mask to be disabled without detection.
TreblePKGD ultimately concludes that WorldGame’s blindfolded completions, including Clubstep, are not legitimate, while acknowledging there remains a very small chance the achievements could be real. The creator states he would be open to a response from WorldGame or analysis from professional VFX editors to clarify what is happening.
As of now, WorldGame has not publicly responded to the allegations.
Geometry Dash community reacts to WorldGame allegations
Following the release of TreblePKGD’s video, discussion around WorldGame quickly spread across the Geometry Dash community, particularly on Reddit.
A post on r/geometrydash asking “Guys wtf did WorldGame do?” gained thousands of upvotes as users tried to understand the accusations and what they might mean for his long-running blindfolded challenge series.
Many commenters focused on the scale of WorldGame’s claimed attempt counts, especially his assertion that Clubstep blindfolded took over two million attempts. Several users attempted to break down the math, arguing that the total time required, even under optimal conditions, would be difficult to reconcile with how the videos are presented.
Others pointed to the repeated structure of WorldGame’s uploads, noting that he almost always appears to beat levels on the first recorded attempt after putting on the blindfold.
Some community members said they had long been skeptical, with a number of commenters describing the runs as “suspicious” in hindsight. Others said they had previously given WorldGame the benefit of the doubt due to how long the videos had been online without a detailed breakdown challenging them.
A common sentiment was that the lack of livestreams, raw footage, or visible progress updates made it harder to evaluate the legitimacy of the completions.
Not all reactions were outright condemnations. A smaller group of users argued that repeating the same intro and motions is common practice in challenge-based YouTube content and does not automatically imply cheating.
A few commenters also cautioned that TreblePKGD’s video, while detailed, does not constitute definitive proof, and called for a response from WorldGame or independent analysis from experienced video editors.
