Netflix has once again proved why it’s the king of streaming services with it’s new interactive sci-fi movie Black Mirror: Bandersnatch. The movie exceeds expectations beyond words.So, here’s the complete Black Mirror Bandersnatch path
For those of you unfamiliar with role playing games, the movie is similar to popular “Choose your own Adventure” book series. For starters, the movie might be seem a bit overwhelming but as you proceed further, you’ll start getting into it. What’s more if you choose the wrong choice, the story is replayed with another chance, just like classic video games. So, for those of you who want to finish the movie in one, a enthusiast has created the ultimate Black Mirror: Bandersnatch cheat sheet.
As you can see from the image above, the steps that went into making Black Mirror Bandersnatch wasn’t easy. There’s just too many paths, even if most of the choices are binary. But for starters, the introduction of something like this is a game changer. Coming to the flowchart of the game, I’m pretty sure the maker might have gone through enough of roadblocks himself to come up with the whole flow in such a short period of time.

One other thing you can observe is, there’s a very thin path which leads to a 5 out of 5 rating for Bandersnatch video game. The good thing is, you have the user at your fingers with so many roadblocks. The bad thing is, people would stop trying it. People love suspense, so the chances of them checking the choices are pretty high. Quite a bold move from Netflix, something we all can agree upon.
From a personal perspective, this is so exciting. This is like a combination of a movie and a video game. We need to pay attention to every single detail and concentrate. But, we can’t obviously watch movies like this on a daily basis. It’s something we all can try out on a Sunday Afternoon with kids, provided the content is safe.
For those of you still confused about what Netflix’s Black Mirror: Bandersnatch is all about, then it’s an interactive film. As the film proceeds, the user has an option of making choices, selecting the right choices will lead you further down the path. But the best thing about the choices is you only have ten seconds to make the choice. So, you need to up your decision making skills.
The average viewing is around 90 minutes while the quickest path ends in about 40 minutes. There’s a 150 minutes of total video content divided into 250 pieces. According to a report from Netflix, there are five endings with different variants for each ending. When a player reaches one of the endings, he has the option to change the previous option and check out the new variant. Sounds interesting? Why don’t you give the game a try?
If you did try Bandersnatch how long did it take for you to complete? Do let us know about it in the comments.
I have yet to find a complete flowchart of Bandersnatch. Each time I use one, I find new ending, that aren’t on the chart, or paths that are slightly different from what’s on the chart.
This game is way more complicated than those charts imply!
