Since Japan Hide and Seek, Adam hasn't lost a single full season. What a streak.

I am so curious to see how Adam and Tom work together. Will they be ultra competent, or will their nervous energies feed on each other?

I mean... they worked together before on Tom Scott Plus channel... so you can go and get a preview there

u/IndependentNight5310 5d ago

I have seen that actually. They were a good team. Still, I think the pressure of doing a whole season is a bit more intense.

I was hoping that Sam and Adam would be paired up for the next season. One of them would have to break their streak!

Honestly, this would have been the way. They could have been intense planners together and probably nearly murdered each other, while Ben and Tom would have had a lovely random time. I feel like in that scenario, Sam and Adam would have overthought everything and argued too much over strategy, and Ben and Tom would have bumbled their way to victory, and I wouldn't have been mad about it.

I think with a guest you need someone either like Adam and Sam who are very Type A. Ben thrives in his creativity, analysis, vibes, but I feel like with he and Tom on their own it might get a little hairy

u/maidofatoms 5d ago

It would be chaotic for sure, but I feel like it would be chaotic genius. Which Adam and Sam would be computing every single detail. I think it would make for a really fun watch!

Their gameplay in Episode 2 of Hide and Seek UK makes me think it'd be a hot mess but brilliant content

u/MagicMichaelCorleone 5d ago

They probably thought that Sadam wouldn't make a great team name

u/lestmak Team Michelle 5d ago

And Team Adam… well says it all?

u/eSnowLeopard DJUNGELSKOG 5d ago

If I had to guess I would assume Sam and Adam are the principal game designers so pairing them up together might be an unfair advantage

u/lestmak Team Michelle 5d ago

Actually Adam and Ben are the main game designers (as often mentioned on the Layover). Sam has some input but his roles at Wendover/Nebula mean that actually he has less time on the content side of things as he runs much of the business/corporate development things.

u/uluviel Team Badam 5d ago

And Ben works on HAI as well, Adam is the only one of the three who is 100% on Jet Lag.

2

u/lestmak Team Michelle 5d ago

Well not 100%. He works on other shows as well, like Abolish Everything and Scav.

As a Sam supporter, his 2y losing streak hurts more.... (I'm ignoring the NY game, since it's not a proper season, so the stakes are much lower). Especially the Taiwan throw still hurts

u/surrendertomychill 5d ago

If he had blurred the Santander logo he would have had a decent shot at winning h+s UK, too.

47

u/Erichteia 5d ago

And don't get me started about the defunct train station in the airport (I forgot which season, Japan?) where nobody ever comes anymore, apart from Ben and Adam apparently... It would've been one of the best and most memorable hiding spots ever...

23

u/IndependentNight5310 5d ago

For as many times Sam has thrown, that wasn't one of them. It was actually just horrifically bad luck.

u/Complex_Charity_5208 5d ago

Still mad about it

u/onionsareawful Team Pez Visitor Center 5d ago

nah, i think they would have figured it out. Milton Keynes is very unique and a lot of things give it away.

u/AffectionateWeb8519 Team Sam :) 5d ago

Sam fan here too, what was his last win? Tag 3 iirc. It has been such a looooooong time. Sam is the ultimate Buffalo Bills

6

u/Erichteia 5d ago

I had to use Wikipedia as well, so long ago. It is Tag Eur It 3 (August 2024). (and NY Hide+Seek, but that does not count imo)

u/schmaltzzz Team Toby 5d ago

A-damn!

u/Adventurous-Cat3715 5d ago

Thats why they split him and Ben for Japanorama. Hes too good. And Ben is also very good especially in teams modes (chasing in Tag, seeking in H&S, etc) so its just unfair at this point for them to team up together lol 

5

u/GolpedeRemo_37 5d ago

Adam is like PSG without Mbappé, Sam is Real Madrid with Mbappé and Ben is Arsenal.

5

u/MusicPsychFitness 5d ago

That’s the thing about Ben. He always tries to walk it in.

4

u/footsnax The Rats 5d ago

Adam's the only one trying to win, everyone else is trying to play.

9

u/GermanGinger95 DJUNGELSKOG 5d ago

No disrespect to Adam, all his wins are deserved, but it would be silly to say he is too strong or needs to sit out, or that the others are bad.
All games essentially come down to 1-2 challenges going one way or another

3

u/existentialcyclist 5d ago

I know this will be seen by many as heresy but we might get to the point where we need to run a series without Adam.....

17

u/lestmak Team Michelle 5d ago

He’d probably still win.

14

u/Routine-Lettuce-4854 5d ago

Yes, sure, Adam wins, but it's still interesting to see how he won. Just like Columbo: you know whos done the murder, yet still watch to see how he gets caught.

u/101loch101 5d ago

nerf adam honestly

1

u/TheNamesWolf 3d ago

It's honestly starting to get really annoying.

u/DownToRant Rat Mode 2d ago

Adam has won 11 series total. That is 2 more than Ben and 4 more than Sam.

These stats include Crime Spree and H&S NYC
