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. There are sixteen events in total, each held in a different game representing a real-world Olympic sport. The project was announced with its "opening ceremonies" on July 23, 2021, the same day as the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and debuted officially the following day. As of August 6, 2021, 14 games have been played as part of the project, and 15 episodes have been released.

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.
