The Try Guys announce upcoming special YouTube releases
By Meg Dowell
The holidays are quickly approaching, and The Try Guys are offering their millions of fans a special gift to celebrate the end of 2024.
Throughout the remainder of the year, the group will be releasing previously paywalled content publicly to their main YouTube channel. One of these, The Die Guys Part 1, has already been released on their second channel.
These episodes, exclusive to the 2nd try app, include Trolley Problems, Drop Into City, and Escape the Kitchen. All three of these shows are absolutely worth the 2nd try subscription fee (as someone who pays for it by choice), and everyone is finally going to have an opportunity to see just how amazingly put together they are.
Trolley Problems is (sort of) just what it sounds like. Two contestants are given "trolley problems" to solve. Whoever aligns most with audience voters gets the point each round. Sometimes, these "would you rather" style questions turn into hilarious dares -- such as having to FaceTime an ex or let another contestant rewrite their Instagram bio.
Drop Into City is probably one of the most high-proudction (outside of Without a Recipe) show the team has going right now. Each episode, four Try Guys are split into teams of two, "dropped" into a city (such as New York or Miami) and sent on a city-wide scavenger hunt. Some activities or items are worth more points than others, and once something is crossed off the list, the other team can no longer get those points. Whoever returns at the end of the day with the most points wins.
And Escape the Kitchen is part escape room, part cooking competition. Contestants have to cook (or bake) their way out of the kitchen, solving clues and riddles to obtain ingredients and recipe steps. Whomever prepares the best dish "escapes" the kitchen at the end of the episode.
All this (and likely much more) coming soon to The Try Guys YouTube channel (for free!).
