Willis Gibson (born January 27, 2010), also known online as Blue Scuti, is an American classic NES Tetris player from Stillwater, Oklahoma. He is best known for becoming the first person to "beat the game" of Tetris on December 21, 2023, after he triggered a game crash on the previously unreached level 157.
Gibson became interested in Tetris at age 11 after watching related content on YouTube. He soon after began to play the game competitively using the rolling technique, and placed third in his first Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC) two years later in 2023. Gibson has since competed in two additional CTWC's, placing third again in the latter.
The game crash achievement brought Gibson international attention, and has since kept him ingrained in Tetris pop culture through interviews by The New York Times and Good Morning America, meet-ups with celebrities like Logan Paul, a documentary around his game crash, and a spot in the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame. In addition to "beating the game", Gibson is regarded as one of the best American Tetris players.
