Video Game GeoGuessr

Dan Avidan supplies the description; Arin Hanson has to name the game. That cooperative round is a particular talking point beneath The Grumps' "Video Game GeoGuessr," with viewers highlighting how much Arin can recognize from verbal clues alone.

The episode reached about a quarter-million views in its first 12 hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience. For a live-action series whose recent guessing challenge involved objects being thrown at the hosts, this is a chance to use a different kind of recognition skill.

Arin and Dan have spent years playing games together on Game Grumps. Here, viewers are discussing what stuck: remembered locations, recognizable art direction and Dan's response to the hallway from P.T. Some also credit Dee with the episode idea, connecting this game-centered outing with the broader run of 10 Minute Power Hour experiments.

Not every memory matches perfectly. One commenter offers a precise correction involving Castle Oblivion in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Another turns the episode's fruit-fly question into a callback to the show's food-flinging antics. Even with virtual locations on the agenda, the Power Hour's messier history is hard to escape.

What viewers say

The 2nd part of co-op descriptions where Dan describes a location and Arin guesses it was legit impressive.

When you recognize a location (even without knowing the whole name) it shows how the art-designers did a good job for the game.

I have to say, I'm really enjoying the episodes where they get to do video game-related things, they've felt more fresh and fun returns to some of the old stuff. It's also nice to see what games that Dan remembers from their decade doing Grumps. 🧡

The way Arin locked in during Round 2 was honestly impressive, you can really tell they both loved working together with this one

Love how arin often plays dumb for comedy but guessing the games from just the description was genuinely so impressive and showed his true brain power
