And that was the Game Garage! At least for now. Thanks to all the production team who helped put it together!
Cool
Tom Scott thank you! an awesome video! keep up the show!
How is it 2 weeks ago!!!!…
Really sad that it's over already. Great job on this series, really hoping we see more of them soon!
Season 2 when?
Category One: Not Sport.
Category Two: Not Sport.
Category Three: Not Sport.
Final Question: Olympics!
LIAR
Well it's not really a sport, it's an event.
@@1_GigaWaffle *sport* event
It's not _a_ sport, but it _is_ sport.
I think some of the questions might fit into more than one categories
Probably my favourite format tested so far!
Love it! It is exactly the kind of game we could play at our big family reunions of the New Year.
Loved this series
"if any of these cities are left standing after this next question..."
If any of these game shows make it big please keep the tradition of the prizes being in pence.
Quiz shows, even low budget garden-shed ones, are behooven to give full answers in order to fulfil their educative purpose. Lutetia and New Amsterdam, if anyone is taking notes.
New Amsterdam was changed to New York when the British took it from the Dutch in 1664.
The name of the Roman city Lutetia was changed to Paris in 212. Reasons are uncertain, but the new name resembles Parisii, the name of the Gallic tribe that lived in that area at the time.
So the consensus is... 16 weeks worth of each game please, bringing it to a full year.
I would have loved to play this game!! Especially with these categories!!
Now I'm just curious what was the actual photo you used for Nicki Minaj
"Who wants to be a millionaire" British version
That reach in the end, well played)
i love pants too
MrBeast: heres $10 000 if you flip this coin
Tom Scott: answer these 12 question ans get *50 000* pents!!!
Tom, you could make a professional career out of thinking up new game shows. So far, 3 our of 3 interesting, fun, and exciting.
Both the Game On series and the Game Garage series are collaborations with David Boddicombe, who is in fact a professional game show designer (who also worked as one of the question setters on Only Connect).
Take a bowl from the scroll.
I certainly would not dump this series keep it up
They need new ideas and new friends of Tom.
+
for sure. precisely correct dude
This is a fun little format. I think my one criticism is that David should've had a bell to ding to indicate when everything stayed on the board.
And some Mystery Biscuits for particularly good answers!
@@dathan8644 Anything can be a bell if it makes a satisfying enough DING
i think a wheel of fortune style walk across the board would've given the show more stakes, but the end half was fantastic.
I’m imagining how the reveal would go with fancy TV graphics... Each one would go dark and turn b&w with the host announcing and giving the extra info on it, with a nice tension pause before each one; then when there’s no more to drop, the rest light up a bit with a sigh-of-relief type “whoosh” sound. If they’re all good, you just hear the whoosh.
@@dathan8644 They could have purchased a 300 or 220 pence bell from Amazon. I know its expensive, but not as expensive as the 800 pence or 2,000 pence bells (they need to have enough money for the cash prizes).
Of all the Game Garage formats, this is the one that I sincerely hope someday becomes a fully-fledged show.
yes it must. everyone will play.
It's a very compelling format.
Yes
It's got a great blend of skill and ramping tension as the boxes drop. It works as a game show and even an online game.
spot on. totally right dude
'who is lovely but not internet famous' i love the sentence
how incredibly british of tom to put that in the title
YES. THAT TITTLE XDDD
which seems very true
...Yet
"If one of these cities is still standing after the next question"
Bit pessimistic there, tom.
Just for a moment, it sounds like a game show run by a Doom-Luthor collaboration.
@@timothymclean all the dumped cities get nuked and/or overrun by doombots.
A year later it doesn't sound so pessimistic any more now does it
You have no idea how sad it was to see NY still standing in the end.
That joke has not aged well.
This format is great. The others so far were good one-offs but hard to sell a series of. This is similar enough to existing quiz formats to be familiar and offer a large bank of challenges while remaining fresh.
Definitely my favorite format of the bunch, as much as I like team competitions and co-ops.
It’s a bit like pointless. Not immediately obvious but makes total sense once you get it. Love the different ways to answer each question the same way...
I kinda liked the sand bucket one.
@@oz_jones
The sand one felt to me like what would be one of several games in a kids gameshow.
This one feels like it could be a big part of a whole gameshow. Although for a half hour show, I'd probably raise the number of answers from 15 to 50, among other minor changes.
I quite liked Citation Need.
With that said, how the game work could maybe be explained and simplified a bit to make it easier to understand how it works as i kept getting confused on the rules...it may also be a little easy to game the system by removing as many as possible so you only end up with one left like in the end and it turns more into a "playing the odds" then actually knowing...
I would like to emphasize my disappointment that Tom failed to produce a 5000p note for this.
The *cheapest* and *dankest* game show in britain.
Most corrosive too!
please make more. it was smashing fun.
Well dank!
Yank here; tried looking up 'dank', couldn't get a handle on current usage in Great Britain.
Probably a generation thing, too.
@@trelligan42 dank means cool and humid, in pop culture it usually means cool or good. Both are true in this case
Literally burning questions. Now that's real class.
Beside a shelf loaded with chemicals of unknown flammability.
In the final round (when playing for the prize) I would have placed the money on a podium next to the scroll bowl.
That way, the player would have a choice: take the money, or take another scroll.
This would eliminate the awkward "can I have the money back?" moment and make the feeling of risk when choosing to go on stronger.
Master Yi From Dota Though I also like them having to deal with loss aversion, So having them hold the money makes the decision harder.
You could even put it inside the same bowl, so they can either pick a scroll or pick the note. And if they pick a scroll the money stays in the bowl and at the end they can have all the money accumulated in the bowl.
tbh though, I think this series is supposed to be as DIY as it can be so the whole "Can I have the money back?" moment kinda works in a humorous way.
A podium?! We're not all swimming in cash here
... You know that "can I have the money back?" is the whole point of it, right ?? You already have the money in your hand... in your pocket even... Are you SURE you wanna depart with it ???
This didn't have the same scope for comedy as some of your other work, but as a pure quiz it is extremely enjoyable to watch
Would like, but it's at 69
@@cubethesquid3919
It's at 85 now. Go right ahead.
I love that everything is in pence.
Sponsored by Wimpy.
one *THOUSAND* ... pence
Probably the budget too.
BIG MONEY!!!
Makes it sound more impressive than it is
Thank god it was the cities not states in the last question because the STATE of New York has hosted Winter Olympics, twice (1932 and 1980).
Same town both times, in fact (Lake Placid)
I knew I wasn't crazy! I thought I vaguely remembered hearing about New York hosting the Olympics, now it all makes sense!
Thanks for that. Was driving me nuts.
Lake Placid is in USA? I remember watching 1980 games but somehow have been convinced ever since (not that I actually thought about it much) that those games were in Canada :D you sure it was not purchased by US of A only after? :)))
Is that Matt Gray I hear laughing in the background at Bowl from the Scroll
No, it's Dr. Mike Pound! "If you want to unlock your face with your phone ..."
probably
Great format - and would allow for a "let's see if you would have won" for players who avoid the final question.
An interesting conundrum for a Brit: choosing between France or the USA
Simple; Pick America. We don't like either, but at least with America, we get a bigger moat.
*ONLY ONE WILL BE STANDING AFTER THIS QUESTION*
Adam Mullarkey - Buuuuuut.... you can fart at the french.
que the punk rock music! Colin Furze! Wooooo!
Spin the wheel!
Correct answer is never France
The Game Garage is the best show on UA-cam. Why stop now?!?!?
It's expensive to run. Have you seen how much pence Tom has paid out?
They got bankrupt!!
"The final episode *in this run* of the Game Garage"
Also, this isn't a "show" proper, but an experiment to find a new format.
"dump the vegetarians"- Tom Scott (relationship executioner) 2019
Those business cards are in a different pocket.
Somebody's gotta keep the relationship coroner in business
The relationship defibrillator is out of luck
Oh my god, that was A: very much something that could become an actual game show and B: a series of videos that I very much hope continues. I love seeing all of your strange and wonderful concepts for game shows, and I hope we get to see more!
tom, please, consider going to your bank and changing £150 in pence for the next season. for comedic value, of course!
Like Impossible on the BBC but with pennies instead of pound coins? I like it!
Most of the periodic table is metallic, so that would be a good call on average. What would be devilish though is to let the player pick multiple questions at once and choose strategically
Also metals are more likely to not be named after starting the same letter i think...unless its the heavy elements
@@ca-ke9493 only 10 out of the 85 or so metallic stable elements have symbols which don't match their starting letter (sodium, potassium, iron, silver, tin, antimony, tungsten, gold, mercury and lead).
"Take a bowl from the scroll!"
"...No!"
Got a good chuckle from that.
Found you in the wild.
now this was a great format I'd like to see on television. It plays on your instincts, and asks you to perform with limited information. A good player not only has to ask themself what is the right answer for ALL the options, but also how sure they are about that information.
We live in a constant lie that we know things for certain, but the reality is, the assuptions we work on are not only true or false - for us, they actually lay somewhere between. And that is a really interesting perspective of oneself, and a perspective this game highlights.
And no, what im not saying is that NY hosted modern olympics some percent of the the time. Rather that your information about such fact is better to described by shades of gray, not with white for absolute knowledge and black for absolute missinformation.
Uncertainty is part of the human condition, and categorising ourself in binary roles is missing the way we actually use and hold information.
Congratulations! You've completed the internet achievement "Ain't no subject I can't philosophize on"
Careful with the budget with all those onscreen words and boxes!
I think this and Above Average were two games that could genuinely become their own fully fledged thing. Weight For It was a nice idea but not really necessary. Enjoyed watching all 3 anyway!
See I thought weight for it was above above average.
This is a great format, how does one go about selling formats? You should try to get itv playing this one
you can't sell a format, the media will stole it from you and sued you
@@cypherusuh Formats are sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars each and every year.
Definitely my favorite format this far, One small improvement would be a signal to indicate that everything stayed rather than just silence. But I really enjoyed this one.
For 5 thousands pence I wanna *keep* this series
you could create a game app with this game, with the objective of getting as far as possible
You're right. Matthew IS lovely.
You're going to be left with a lot of duff questions in this format. If Paris vs New York as national capitals was the 5000p question it would have been anticlimactic.
We got a bit unlucky with the picks. There were some more interesting questions in the bowl.
@@davidbod You should - kind of - rig the questions. At the end of each round, nuke the ones that aren't at all difficult/interesting any more. No-one would know!
Good work again anyway! You've got a hand in all the best shows - that I've been in :o)
@@ubertoaster99 Given that the player is going for genuine money, we have to play fair. There is a new bowl of scrolls for each category so that relevant questions were asked, but there were some more inventive ones available that didn't get picked.
@@davidbod You could have written four questions on each scroll. Clearly labeled with the four categories. Because the scroll is discarded after use, those questions wouldn't come up in the next phase, so it would give the player foreknowledge only of what *wouldn't* be asked. And since the unused questions wouldn't be broadcast, they could be recirculated in future shows that don't involve a return contestant.
Upsides: You don't have to cut out bowl changes, and it's not possible to accidentally see a scroll from another category slip in.
Downsides: You have to prepare a lot more questions, and the contestant might make a mistake and read the wrong question.
I dissuaded myself from the idea by writing it out, but I figured I'd comment it anyway.
@@davidbod I'm like, two years late but is there a chance you remember some of the more inventive questions?
"Dump the vegetarians"
Were it a channel other than Tom's one could expect a - let's call it - very lively debate under such a comment.
I like these little gameshows. Good quality/budget ratio.
I think this was my favorite of the three games in this series.
Why was nicki minaj's photo done in post production?
Am I crazy or does Matthew look like Louis Theroux?
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.
Why they changed it I can't say.
People just liked it better that way.
References
Definitely my favorite gameshow so far!! Feel like this would be a fun and easy game to code up and publish online? Sure Tom could bodge something together???
I think the bigger problem is writing and verifying the questions and answers.
Oh, they're saying "one thousand pence" to make it sound like a high-stakes thing.
But hey, £10 is not anything to sneeze at!
Matthew looks like Jacob Rees-Mogg's body double.... its unsettling
Quick. Swap 'em out. See if we can find other MP doubles and take over parliament
I kept thinking that - it was most disconcerting!
I really liked the concept behind this. Please do more in the near future
It seems like the formatting is a matter of luck really. With 5 questions and 15 answers in the pool, a series of 50/50 options will bring you to 8, 4, 2, and finally 1 option at the $10 question. I do like the idea of having the chance at doing better as a safety, and we see in this play of the game that it did work, but it isn't a resource the player has to think about. They can't choose to burn those extra answers on tough questions like a scroll. It looks like they're on a razors edge when they have one answer left, but really they're just as well off as they are at question one.
What if instead of burning a scroll as a free action the player had to eliminate all the remaining answers in a row. Now the position of pieces on the board matters and a player may choose to eliminate two on a full row to save one on it's own row as a safety. It also makes the pieces a resource that matters and makes players think about what they know about each piece Yes, they get an extra burn but at the cost of a much more valuable resource.
"Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" who? I only know the Game Garage
"some shows have graphics display boards, and big projections... *We have David* "
I FELT THAT
I gotta say, after watching all the game garage games, I like this one the best to become a recurring segment on the channel, perhaps fortnightly to give the question writers time to prepare.
Not going to lie I really enjoyed the Keep it or Dump it game. Could definitely be interesting to see with two different teams of two working together to do this. Over all another great video Tom!
Tom I just love how u do everything n nothing…
Nice to see that not all of the Rees-Mogg family went into right-wing politics.
"... cities left standing ..." Is this another "rods from god" gag as a continuation of citation needed?
"David, dump the vegetarians!" - Tom Scott (2019)
This was the best Game Garage! Kept me at the edge of my seat all the time, would definitely work as a bigger series.
It's Pi day and you posted a non pi-related video. At least you had a round bowl, scrolls and cylindrical buckets for a podium.
The whole Pi day was a tired gag years ago. Let's let it die.
@@ShroudedWolf51 stop live
I think this game has been my favorite from the game garage. I'd love a competitive version of this. If you had either two people or two teams who had to switch off with the questions it might add a fun element keeping options for yourself vs taking them away from your opponents. Great concept either way, though.
I was more emotionally invested in Above Average, but this was good stuff too.
You got Jacob Reese-Mogg on your gameshow!
I have genuinely loved these, Tom. I'd love to see more of them in the future.
That was lovely. Great spin on the general idea of a quiz. And Matthew seems like a top bloke.
Enjoyed this a ton. Would definitely watch a full season.
Would be interesting in competitive mode with two players alternating. Do you keep lots up or dump as many as possible?
You should hand the prize money to the winner as a bag full of pennies.
That sounds needlessly cruel.
@@ShroudedWolf51 In a bag obviously! I'm not expecting Tom to pour five thousand pennies out of a bucket into the hands of the winner.
Uploaded at the same time as colinfurze.
Although it does mean you would have to drop the catchphrase, I think the scrolls should be in the carousel thing from Avanti un Altro! Maybe when you have a higher budget
So, the avoided category, sports, the last question, sports disguised as geography. Well played Tom
I like this format. Perhaps if you wanted to try turning it into a team or competition format you could add some sort of "sabotage" mechanic where the other team gets the dumped set as their new board, and it would result in teams whittling down their options via attrition.
Bloody hell! I didn’t know Harry maguire was that knowledgeable.
Just like I felt with Game On, I wish these were actual games because they are super interesting.
I think this is the best one out of all of them
Please do another of this, I love the concept, I could watch a whole show with this premise
oooh Pence. (I thought it was 5000 Pez, like the terrible sweets in those plastic toys..)
i recognized elliot's editing from the way the text moved. i'm terrified.
they did nicki minaj very bad
Loved all 3 episodes of game garage and hope we see more soon. I loved the competitive element of weigh for it. Agree with some other comments I've seen, as a pure quiz format this one is by far the best but the other 2 formats have more scope for comedic moments.
Am I the only one who thinks they spent money to make a garage that looks more used then it was.
As an American..... Quid and pounds are the same thing right?
11:00 is it weird that I would have kept Athens because I know more about it than New York or Paris?
OK, all fun. If you are going to make a series of one of these I think Above Average is my favorite so far. Obviously you need to rope in more people to play it
“Dump the vegetarians” -Tom Scott
I wonder if the antimony regarded usualy as metalloid and not a proper metal would change the game if it would be dumped in the second question. I guess not because it fell at question about name change but still... :P Great show. Just imagine how many questions and pictures were left unused to create this one episode for one guy! :P
All the games on the Game Garage have been so unique and fun! I love this series; I hope it comes back. Unlike other series that I won't dwell on but which might have involved Wikipedia and everyone's favorite Gary Brannan. I won't tell you his name, either.
I would totally watch a full game show based off this. Actually a really neat concept!
Parallel universe Jacob Rees-Mogg seems quite nice
If this ever gets taken up, I hope that pop culture and sport won't come up too often. They are too pervasive already -- we don't need any more of them.
I disagree, all of these topics are interesting.

There are no mistakes ~Master Oogway
Hi Tom, just wondering if there will be a new season of Lateral and if so, when? :D
