I Turned Hide n Seek into a Board Game 

I’m reporting you for plagiarism I'm not

I can’t wait for MagicTheNoah to come into the comments and say something like “I’m reporting you for plagiarism”.

21:30 Fyr channeling his inner Noah by being very flexible about the rules because he forgot a step and just blamed the players instead of his lack of hosting skills hahaha that's what I love about Noah's games, how the rules are just a suggestion and anything goes

Yeah, MagicTheNoah came to mind INSTANTLY seeing that thumbnail. E: YES! Channel your inner Noah and DECIDE the spin.

Fir is actually a really good DM. He knows his players and how to let the "rule of cool" steer the game.

i was scared at how deep this was. great april fools joke honestly

poor smallant, he tried to play the mind games by not moving in cap kingdom but that failed, then he tried to play mind games by hiding at the odyssey, just for poo to ruin his plan by hiding there as well, and then he used both of his mushrooms to move to the odyssey in metro kingdom just to get revealed by poo next turn

That was so on-brand for Crafty, I've seen that exact game play out multiple times for him. Picks a great hiding spot and lasts ages on the first round. Finds someone straight away on his seeking round but gets immensely unlucky and they escape, a couple more people frustratingly escape and he struggles to make up for the lost time. Next round he has a good hiding spot but bad luck reveals him when no-one even knows where he is, and then on the final round, the first hider-turned-seeker immediately stumbles into him.

"Is this what Dungeons and Dragons is like?" being asked as a player deliberately wanders into a shady casino is, in fact, as accurate as it gets.

As a Magic the Noah fan, a Fir fan, and an SMO fan, this is phenomenal. I hope you guys do a part 2 of this!

It's nice to see Magic the Noah's influence on other channels, this type of content is peak

Crafty got absolutely scammed by not winning his Chain Chomp argument. Goomba kicks him and takes damage instead of deals damage. And I liked the chain appendage creativity.

This is an April fools video but I love magic the Noah’s video’s so this is perfect

"You can't ground pound in real life!" Says the guy arguing why his sombrero wearing sheep would be better at robbing a bank than a friggin' dragon. No ground pound, but sheep and dragon bank robbers, suuuure!

24:09 classic CJ bonk.

Please bring this out of the April Fools purgatory, this deserves to be a recurring series

36:40 Fir - Nothing is getting played! GPB - It just means you get to make a sequel video you know Fir - This is the April 1st upload! I got to wait a whole year! ... I would not mind if this was the start of a series *not* on April 1st with how chaotic this got, bringing in other players into this madness hahaha (although I feel like 4 players seems like the best amount as any more and the turns become long, any lower and rounds will be too short)

I kinda feel bad for Crafty not having a silver tongue like the rest of them. Super fun concept and video though

as a board game lover, this needs a sequel next year

Crafty may have failed to defend the mighty gushen, but i most certainly will not. Here is undeniable proof as to why the beautiful bois of the seaside kingdom are infinitely cooler than taxis. POINT NUMERO UNO - Unlike the drab taxi which can be found nigh anywhere, and is honestly a sore sight with its awful school-bus yellow coloring, our friend, the gushen, is **unique.** He is based upon one of the finest breed of creatures-the octopus, only one degree separated fro the most elegant of sea creatures, the succulent squid. Can you truly look me in the eye and say a bland old taxi is cooler than an octopus? Stop lying to yourself. The answer is obvious. Even in the realm of colors, the gushen reigns supreme. In their natural habitat, the beautiful gushen takes on an elegant sheen of purple. Did you know the color purple is well appreciated for its rarity, and has historically been associated with royalty and wealth? Clearly this color was chosen for the gushen to portray their eternal beauty. LE POINT DEUX - Poo may claim the taxi's machinery elevates it above our spirited young seafellow, but HE IS WRONG. The gushen is one of god's creatures, a natural existence that evolved to survive naturally within the world-a friend indeed. Ask yourselves this question, my dear reader: if you were to showcase a friend something cool, would you truly pick an average everyday taxi-a vehicle most known as the drunk man's carrier-or would you show them this beautiful round creature, never before seen in our reality? The taxi is common. The gushen is a legend. ARTICULATE ARGUMENT THREE - While the gushen may not best a vehicle in matters of physical strength, I denounce thy point and raise instead the following: not only does the gushen possess more speed than the taxis of New Donk City, it possesses the wonderful ability to fly by ejecting water from its butt. HOW IS THAT NOT COOL? Ah-em, as I was saying, the gushen is capable of both evading and out-maneuvering its opponent. The limitation of time the gushen is able to remain airborne is also not an issue, as due to its smaller size, this wonderful creature can squeeze into areas the taxi could only dream of. I would also argue that threatening to squish this beautiful creature into non-existence is a crime upon not only nature itself, but all of gushen-kind. These creatures deserve to live in peace, undisturbed by the filthy creations of man. This leads to my final argument. SAIGO NO POINTO - The taxi, the common filthy man-made object that it is aside, could never even begin to be compared against the gushen's natural environment. The clear beautiful ocean. The sea. The origin of all life. Without it, both you and I would be nothing. We are forever indebted not only to it, but to the beautiful creatures it houses. What does the taxi serve us? Streets full of filth? A denial of our human rights to move as we wish when we wish? THE TAXI GIVES US NOTHING. RISE MY SEA-ALIGNED BREATHREN! BELIEVE IN THE GUSHEN! AND BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF ALL GUSHEN-KIND! ABANDON THESE MAN-MADE MACHINATIONS AND RETURN TO THE OCEANS FROM WHENCE WE CAME!

Fir: you get a coin! *proceeds to take a coin from small ant*

This is almost as long as Noah’s AI board game video.

I KNEW THE LUIGI WAS GONNA BE “Hello Mario”

Magic the Noah's idea for making a game in google slides with just imagination and creativity and no programming requirement is crazy, now its expanding

Damn, Amethyst really outdid herself with this mod. I can barely believe this is Odessey.

29:34 The best strategy in this minigame by far would be to just always pick a spot right next to the opponent. Moving further away just makes your win area smaller for no reason.

I know that this is an April Fool's video but genuinely I ADORE this format and I'd love to see it at other times of the year too! Also weighing in on the Goomba vs Chain Chomp debate: Just saying, in Mario Tennis Aces, the Chain Chomp is shown holding the tennis racket in their mouth. In Marion Super Sluggers, the Goomba is shown telekinetically(?) manipulating a baseball bat with the same dexterity as characters with hands, ergo the Goomba is closer to the ideal of having hands!

Honestly. I like this. It does get a bit boring seeing the exact same SMO Hide and Seek with little to no difference (although you all did some creative variations like Freeze Tag, Teams, Proximity Chat, Sardines, etc.). I get this is meant as an April Fool's joke, but this is still great.

You played MagicTheNoah's games and thought "we need more people to suffer this"? Excellent! And here I thought you were one of the more wholesome Odyssey streamers...

Cjya was DOMINATING lol. I think one decisive factor to this is he auto wins in Mario Mimic, but he's balanced in both being good as hider and seeker, nice play!

this could never live up to a magicthenoah board game, its way too well thought out

unironically the best day of the year for videos that just shake it up a bit but still remain great

Honestly, this format is really cool, and Fir as the host immediately gives a different vibe from Noah's full chaos mode stuff. Really fun stuff!

Come one, Crafty should have won the battle in cap kingdom about the clicks. He explained that people will click on it, if the title is "How this capture broke Mario Odyssey", explained why people would click on it and argued with the amount of cool glitches. And Cjya just wins with the argument, that the checkpoint is red...

Somehow, Fir made hide and seek into a DnD session one of the best april fools videos honestly

The Ruined kingdom roll and reveal at 1:19:55 may be one of the funniest moments in hide and seek, even including the real games

This is honestly so funny, it's cool having a video of you guys casually hanging out that I can just listen to in the background.

Best April fools joke of all time

Oh hey, a new Magic the Noah video! …Why is it on Monday? …Oh hey, it’s Fir! (No hate, I love this style.)

Imma be honest, this is probably the best and funniest video I've seen this year. Can't wait for proximity chat being added 👍

This was actually a good idea. This needs to come back

Rigged, Yoshi would win the beauty contest no question. Toad isn’t handsome, he’s just an overconfident machismo with bad taste in clothes. Yoshi is a beautiful, sweet, delicate creature. He is loved by all. His voice? Music. His eyes? Music. Even his name is like a song. Yoshi is the real beauty queen

honestly, probably the most original april fools joke today

Surprisingly nostalgic seeing the classic 5 together again :)

Probably the best april fools video i've seen in the last 10 years I hope you do it again next year

Cool idea: each capture has different abilities: rather paragoomba gives extra points for escapes, chain chomp has extra for battles, and the car can move more places. I think that’s really interesting! (Good vid too.)

This is the best SMO hide and seek video yet

Finally the OG squad back together. Been missing just this crew

Bullet William could ABSOLUTELY have a job in a tech company. He does have hands after all.

This was actually good. I hope we get custom maps and another go at this. But allow hiders an easier time to escape. Currently, the beta build was way too much in favor of the taggers when that's not how it works in the base game (generally, hiders tend to have the advantage because they see the seeker coming). Also wasn't too big a fan of the charisma check mini-games. I would love a version of this where it allowed for escape chases, allows for more opportunities to hide/escape. The trivia challenges are fun and definitely good additions, but you can't beat a good old dice battle. Especially with how quick they are.

24:05 even on board game, CJ is still able to bonk !

Is this a new era of youtube? MagicTheNoah spinoffs? I ain't even mad! I mean, Noah deserves so much credit, like we should call these Noah videos or something, but it's such a good format!

Haven’t even started the video. Already 10/10.

Unironically I'd love to see more of this

This is awesome! I would have loved to see what the other kingdoms look like, but the effort you’ve put in is amazing for an April Fools video. Great work!

“I quote this all the time, you guys ready? hello - ah f#%$!” CraftyBoss 4/1/24

S-tier video. You put so much work in your videos and it shows. Ty for your effort ❤

the only problem is that the subtitles are actually correct

23:25 I would’ve said “Glydon can use the infinite height glitch to raise the sub numbers through the roof.”

I love how accurate this is to real Mario Hide & Seek!

WOW!!! I know you said it was an april fool's video, but I think it is a great idea for more video with this!!!

When the toad voice cane, Smallant did the wednesday frog.

This was AMAZING, mad props for putting this together!!!

really appreciate for fir's effort it works out so well, this feels like listening to the live radio of a gameshow yet it ain't less fun at all,and the OG h&s players are extraordinary

I know this is meant to be an Aprils Fool video but PLEASE make this a thing. I'd sell my liver to see more of these

why is this actually fun to watch

Thank you so much for the subtitles! I sometimes have trouble processing audio, so they are super helpful ❤ great video as always Fir

Best April Fools day video yet!

Watching this just made me realize once again that Odyssey's graphics are really dated and limited by the switch! At this point, it basically looks like Google Slides!

Love this but kinda feel like the one thing it was missing was a perception check on each space

Absolutely brilliant. The banter between this group is hilarious.

Small ant's shop move was brilliant and ridiculous. I'd really like to watch more of these hide and seeks because this is really entertaining. Really fun watching what people come up with in the game. Winging it left and right just because. So funny.

I LITERALLY ASKED CJ ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY! IM SO EXCITED!!!

Legit thought this was a magic the Noah video when I clicked on it

Please make more of this IT'S JUST FUN TO WATCH LOVE IT I watched this entire 1 hour video without noticing how long it lasted

At first I thought "this april fools hurt" because I really want another Hide & Seek video but this was so creative and funny it ended up being gold. In the end, I'm just happy every time I hear you all together, keep up the good work 🙌🏻

me thinking this was make by Noah when clicking on it

IT WASNT APRIL FOOLS!!

Ngl, I loved this video and format. I would love to see more of this board game again soon

This is so fucking good holy shit! Thank you a lot for doing this as an April's fools video, it was so worth it. Great work Fir!

At 52:59 I guess you could say Crafty BOMBED the interview challenge. (Ba Dum Tiss) Ok, I'll see myself out.

This so perfect I love it !

I would unironically watch more of this format. Maybe get some other smo hide and seekers involved too

This is unironically an awesome idea. Even though it's an April Fools video, I'd love to see more of this haha

The fact that this felt so realistic to an actual round of hide and seek 😂😂😂😂

Fir please bring this back. This was one of the greatest videos I've and many other people have ever watched.

"Not moving" truly incredible, smallant commits tomfoolery even on the hide N seek board game

I would love to see you guys just do this again because it is honestly really fun to watch and it seems like it was really fun to play.

I was actually scared that this was t going to be a board game because of april fools but i am so happy that this is what it is. I love Noah's stuff and its trally funny seeing Poo be so confused at everything lol

As someone who has done D&D, yes, this is exactly what D&D is like. Just minus a few features.

What do people say on how to make a fist? Make your hand into a ball. What is chomp chomp if not a really big ball. Thus, to extension, a really big fist.

This is objectively the best Hide & Seek video you guys have made

This is the first I've heard of MagicTheNoah, but this was otherwise a really funny watch. You distilled hide and seek into a board game GREAT and it was really fun seeing everyone bounce off each other in a more mundane activity.

Crafty dropped the ball here. He didnt mention the gushin boss fight, the fact gushin is also in the mushroom kingdom, or the power of flight that it gives. Gushin wins in regular races, and would destory a car with it's water jets. Also only mario boss where the cap change is the majority of the boss fight. Gushin sweeps taxi

I love how much detail is in this, tbh would love to see it again

I've genuinely used this video to fall asleep at least five times, it's so calming and fun at the same time

I love this video so much! This actually looks like it would be fun to play.

This video was so great XD The Fir take on a Magic the Noah (so over the top XD), the shenanigans ofc, the references... amazing video

I love this video so much. thanks for making it!!!

This was so much fun! I loved how chaotic it was. Perfect April's Fools video!!
