1. I Scrolled to the Bottom of Roblox and Played What I Found

For this video, scroll as far as possible into Roblox’s discovery pages and play the least-exposed games on the platform. Are they hidden gems or abandoned disasters?

3. Medium: Only play games that haven’t been updated in over 3 years or more.
4. Advanced: Try to improve one dead game’s player count by promoting it inside Roblox for 24 hours. Can you make it popular?

2. I Played Games Where You Can Get Drunk

Inspired by this article try different drunk simulators and test how different games portray being drunk (controls, visuals, and consequences…).

Variations

1. Easy: Play 3–5 games and rank which one feels the “most realistic.”
2. Medium: Attempt to complete missions or levels while fully “drunk” in-game.
3. Medium: Compare older vs newer games and how the mechanic has changed over time.
4. Advanced: Mix gameplay with a real-time challenge: if your drunk version makes a mistake, the real you has to do a dare..

3. I Visited the Oldest Servers in Gaming History

Inspired by this video explore the earliest surviving servers in games like Minecraft and Roblox to see what digital fossils still exist. The server in this video is particularly “dangerous” for influencers/youtubers…

4. DON’T CLOSE YOUR EYES (This Game Knows)

Variations

1. Easy: Play normally and document every time the game reacts to your mistakes, counting the total amount of times you blinked.
2. Medium: Play with different masks and glasses on to see if you can outsmart the game (maybe if you print your face and stick it to the webcam you can hack your way to winning!).
3. Medium: Let your wife control the camera while you give instructions.
4. Advanced: Every time you blink and you die in the game, you’ll have to complete a dare in real life (like spin a roulette to eat and drink something gross…).

3. Medium: Start playing the game yourself, making her react beside you, and then switch roles halfway through to catch her uncomfortness.
