The Games is a series of LPs created by The D-Pad in 2021, inspired by the Olympics and consisting of a series of competitions between four "nations" composed of members of the channel. Each staging consists of sixteen events, each held in a different game representing a real-world Olympic sport, released over the sixteen days of the corresponding Olympics. The first iteration, The Ist Games, was released from July 23 to August 15, 2021, corresponding to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. The second iteration, The IInd Games, was announced on December 25, 2021, and released from February 4, 2022, corresponding to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.

Trivia
- Unlike other LP projects on the channel, The Games does not feature live commentary from those playing, instead using third-party commentary to replicate the format of real-life sports. Most of the guest commentators are friends of the channel, some of whom had already appeared as guests or members in earlier videos. The penultimate event of The Ist Games features rotating commentary from many of the guests from prior events, while the final event features commentary from Rick himself, making it the only event to be commentated by one of the participants in The Games.
