Ashens and I have both had YouTube channels since 2006.
We've known of each other for years,
but we've never worked together until now.
This particular experimental game show turned out more stressful
than either of us thought it would.
This is the Game Garage and today we are playing Checkpoint
with the crew from 'Ashens and the Polybius Heist', who are...
-Daniel. -Quang. -Stuart.
We have three games for you today, the first one is fairly fast paced
and it's about celebrities and pop culture.
Which... oh, there's some faces there.
Which one of you wants to step forward for it?
(Let's give it to Daniel.)
Okay!
(I'll do it!)
-Daniel. -I will do it.
-Please join me at the table. -Okay.
Game one, 15 seconds on the clock,
every time you get an answer correct. you pass a checkpoint,
you get three seconds more on the clock. Your time gets extended.
So ideally, you keep going, 20 right is your maximum.
Okay.
But if time runs out at any point, that's your game over.
-You're ready to go? -Let's go for it.
Alright. I'm going to read out the name of a celebrity,
all I need back from you is the first name
of one of their siblings.
Okay.
Clock starts after I read the first name.
Joseph Fiennes.
Uh, pass.
Luigi.
Mario.
Correct, Poppy Delevingne.
Pass.
Chris Hemsworth.
Meg Griffin.
Stewart.
Correct, Jake Gyllenhaal.
Megan.
N-no! Eli Manning.
Pass.
Ashlee Simpson.
-Ohh. -[squeaks]
Pop culture not your subject, unfortunately.
That's okay, you've still got two right,
that's still two seconds in the final round.
That's okay.
-It's not a great start. -No, it's not(!)
But thereare still two other rounds left.
Of course.
All right, you want to go rejoin your teammates,
we'll see what's coming in round two.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Next round is about maths and mental agility.
I'll do this one, go on(!)
No, unfortunately, it's got to be one of the other players.
Who do you want to take it?
If only we had a programmer.
Hello Quang!
See that's a lot of pressure now.
It is and, as you were saying earlier,
programmers do tend to get the computers to do the maths for them.
-Plácido Domingo. -Yes.
-That's kind of your job
but you'll still do a better job then I would.
-Okay. -Yes.
Sure, let's do that then.
-All right, Quang. -Good luck.
Take to the table please.
Game two. You've got 20 seconds on the clock,
every time you get an answer correct
you're going to get five seconds as you pass your checkpoint,
so it's a little bit easier on the timer
but the questions will require a little bit more effort.
So I'm going to say something like 'the days in January' and you'd say...
31.
Yep, and then I'm going to say something like
'minus the number of players on your team'.
28?
Yep, that's right as well, and it goes on from there.
If you give me a wrong answer at any point,
that's fine, I'll tell you what your answer should have been
and we'll go from there.
Okay.
You're ready to go?
No(!)
I mean, we don't start the clock until my first question anyway, so...
best of luck to you.
All right.
Letters in the English alphabet.
26.
Correct, plus seasons in a year.
12. Uh...
No!
26 plus 12.
-No, you should be on 30. -It's four.
Divided by blind mice.
10.
Correct, plus days in a week.
17.
Correct, times 'strikes and you're out'.
-Times? -Times.
51.
Correct, minus legs on an insect.
45.
Correct, divided by cents in a nickel.
9.
Correct, times the number of Disney dwarves.
63.
Correct, minus the stripes on the German flag.
60.
Correct, divided by the leaves on a lucky clover.
That's time.
Oh!
F***, that was good. That was good.
That was incredible. You got eight right.
Really?
Eight seconds in the final round, that is a pretty good showing,
considering how close you got to zero so many times in there,
that was amazing.
Well done, eight seconds,
It's a good score, well done, go and rejoin your team.
Okay.
Team, you have 10 seconds in the final round.
Stuart, it's going to be up to you for the final one.
Come and join me at the table.
Alright, you got stuck with this final game,
you were the one who didn't play so you've got to take what ever this is,
it is mental agility and working memory.
Oh good.
You're going to have 30 seconds on the clock.
Every time you get a question right, you pass a checkpoint,
you get 10 seconds back.
I'm going to read you a song lyric. The opening line of a song.
I'm going to need you to read it back to me
with the words in reverse order.
Oh, I knew you were evil!
So if I said... You okay back there?
Yeah, yeah.
You'd be okay with that one?
-Yeah I reckon. -Let's give it a go.
It should have been you.
All right so if I said "we're no strangers to love",
I would need "love to strangers no we're".
This is so different to how my brain works,
this is going to be a nightmare. Right.
They start easy, they get harder as time goes on.
Oh good! I think you mean they start hard then become impossible?
30 seconds on the clock to start,
and it's going to start after my first question.
Okay.
Happy birthday to you.
You to birthday happy.
Correct. Hello darkness my old friend.
Friend old my darkness hello.
Correct. Who knows what tomorrow brings.
Brings tomorrow knows who.
No. Why do birds suddenly appear.
Appear suddenly...
birds do why.
Correct. Please allow me to introduce myself.
Myself introduce me.
No. I never thought it would happen.
Happen would
it
thought never I.
Correct. You would not believe your eyes.
Eyes your believe,
not would you.
Correct. We've got stars directing our fate.
Fate our directing
stars got we've.
Correct. We'll be singing when we're winning.
Winning
we're when
singing be we'll.
Correct. I made it through the wilderness.
Wilderness
through.
-No. -Damn.
And if one day I should become.
Become should day one.
No, there's a song... and that's time.
Whoa.
Ooh, hoo, you've got to break it down into chunks.
You absolutely have, seven correct answers.
It's a good score, well done, go and rejoin your team.
Thank god.
Final round, you've earned 17 seconds
we give you an extra ten seconds for free
so that puts you on 27 seconds.
You are all involved in this one,
I'm going to ask questions and I'm going to need one correct answer from each of you
so if I were to say 'what are Donald Duck's nephews?',
we'd be looking for?
-Huey. -Dewey. -Louie.
Yes, and that would give you 10 seconds back on your clock.
If anyone passes or gives a wrong answer at any point,
we move on to the next question,
but the sequence keeps going.
So Quang, if you gave a wrong answer or passed,
Stuart you'd be starting the next question.
27 seconds on the clock.
Let's get you through three questions, let's get you to the money.
Daniel, you're answering first.
-(Good luck.) -(Thank you.)
Clock starts after I read the first question.

Assuming I take one-third of the £5.
Now, you started with 27 seconds. You still have just over 23 on the clock.
The next three questions are for £10.
Ooh.
Do you want to try for a gamble?
I mean something told me we should run away
very quickly with the money, but also that is like £1.66 each or something.
That's more than what we have now.
-That's true. -It'll cover bus fare.
Yeah, it's not going to cover... it's not going to be BFH, bus fare home.
I think we should gamble and then regret it.
Yes. I think, who dares wins.
Yeah, go for the regret(!)
All right.
That's my new motto.
I haven't regretted something in a while, let's go for regret(!)
Stuart. 23.6 seconds on the clock.
You're going to answer first, time's going to start when I finish reading the question.
You're all ready?

Street Fighter.
Oh, Street Fighter IV boss. Yeah, of course, yep.
That is £10.
Do you want to go for the 20?
We should gamble it and fail miserably, like really...
You said that last time and you have as many points as you started with!
I know but it worked, it worked!
But I think it's about going down in a blaze of glory.
Yeah, that's it.
Or we could take the money and reinvest it back into Pogs because they're coming back.
That's true, they're back in Alf form.
Yeah, let's go for it.
Let's go, let's go.
All right, 26.5 seconds on the clock.

What would you have gone for?
I would have gone for a pass.
Which is one of them!
-Time goes so quickly. -That was so... that was really bad.
I'm so sorry folks,
you gambled, you took the risk and unfortunately
-it didn't pay off this time. -It's fine(!)
Our shame will pay our bills.
