harry potter wand not wand why did i say wand this place is magical good luck to us my beer taking videos [Music] uh um shots [Music] this is probably my fourth video in gumry and i have to say i think this one is the one that is really allowing us to explore the city in a very different way which is why i'm really loving scavenger hunts uh i think we're going to do a play now then we have to perform the song that we made with some of the keywords that were supposed to be in the in the in the music and then we're going to the puppet theater to do something not really sure what it was but i'm following the team so let's go for the scavenger hunt we've done in yerevan i remember posting all the rules and the the challenges on the screen and in the description for this one i'm not doing that to preserve some mystery and for you guys to actually let's go let's play it you know so i'm gonna include all the information off let's go let's play uh off their instagram make sure to follow them so you can join their next game and play and who knows maybe i'll be there so we'll play together and we'll win because my team has a record of winning we're looking for some very specific doors and apparently this isn't one of them but fun fact about gimbri gimri is known for its architecture and the very unique artistic doors that it has so this is a very fun part in the game to be honest at this restaurant oh my god this is so cute are we going in [Music] they are the fancier version of me taking photos with like huge cameras and stuff but i don't know what they're taking photos of more doors more doors oops i almost dropped this phone we're now going to the theater uh building we're supposed to perform a play and also use the gumri parpar gumri dialect in the play for bonus point so not really sure we have an idea of what we're about to do but we will definitely try [Music] there's a play related i'm gonna be an observer like you guys because i missed the part where they were very storming and i don't know what i'm doing with my hair okay take two action [Music] yes [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you'll learn something today about the fact that doesn't really like to run i don't think interview with varta mamigonian how are you feeling today being with us oh this was like a very exciting moment uh we're having a lot of fun actually i always wanted to perform and to act and this was my opportunity this is your big break so if we have any agents in the in the in the audience uh represent him please so we're supposed to do some sort of a costume and because we're polly love they got a lot of balloons so i'm curious to see what they're gonna come up with because this team is very creative actually [Music] let's go let's play [Music] that performance was brought to you by the poly polylab team now we're being told we don't have much time left so we have to get back to the meeting spot by 2 30 uh so we don't lose points and i think we have one more thing to do with the costume asking the kid to borrow the bike he's so nice foreign [Music] let's see where else in the world would you ask a kid for their bike for a scavenger hunt and they would give it to you and look at this horse there's the heart stuck on me [Music] i see allen's hair which means i think we're in the right spot and it seems and it seems like we're the first team here [Music] i'm pretty sure we won i gave her candy at the beginning the third team is nowhere to be found last team shows up with garbage bags on their head curious to know what the story is behind this saving the planet oh [Music] the creativity continues [Music] in the third place oh in the second place chad learner the best video editing of the theater chad lovner um tim myrick then [Music] oh two scavengers out of two the voice of arthur pogba so anytime you guys want to play on a scavenger hunt you have to be me and hobartness's team we're going to celebrate our win uh to that cute place that i showed you guys when we were doing the game still to have burgers and beers so come with us and we will eat and then hopefully i'll be able to take the fast train [Music] [Music] well we basically took over the whole restaurant but no complaints and the guide so we're going to drink again armenian beer daddy oh well let's go down this trail and you can see there's a like an old trail but there's a lot of like bushes with thorns and i don't know what kind of plants those are um and so we we're going like we don't have equipment for the mountain climbing this was just supposed to be a walk so she gets some points cheers guys cheers it was so nice to get to know the ones that i didn't know and thank all you cheers i'm the only only one with the juice so refreshing i needed this now i'm waiting for the burger did anyone get bastard my burger oh you're so nice they brought the magnets we made yay i'm gonna put this on my fridge this is supposed to be the dog it looks like a like a like a vampire situation but i tried dying is being really loud next to me but i got mine i got my classic cheeseburger there's a knife in the middle of it so i'm going to try it with you guys before i go enjoy it with everybody i don't want to put the gloves i don't need the cheeseburgers put them on wrong burger wrong sorry i took out your knife it's fine okay okay uh let's try it oh no no no i'm not it's like a pillow of burger okay okay i'm gonna oh i'm gonna go eat there's things coming in see you guys later just oops i pressed play after i started talking uh we ate and now alien is gonna take us to nazu we're gonna get some coffee and something sweet and then i'm gonna go catch the fast train so stay tuned to see how it looks like it's 2500 amd versus 1500 the regular train and it says it's supposed to arrive in two and a half hours like to yeravan and the regular train is three hours so i will see if it's worth it we'll see but i know the chairs are way more comfortable okay the group stopped so i'll go find them what is this place oh oops overexposed uh very cute hotel village is what it's called right next to where we're eating burger we had at the name the place of the name the name of the place is bastogma burger i saw this pub on the way jebby pop i've never been so next time i come to gumry i'll go in and i'll show you apparently it's like tiny but it's mighty like me we have arrived they're going to set up chairs and stuff for us outside because i don't know if it would all fit inside but i want to show you guys the inside as well [Music] okay so we're actually taking all the chairs and tables outside so we can all fit outside very social it's just work work [Music] spinach cake i'm gonna eat this and my train is in 40 minutes so i got a tea to go and then i will there's jam in the middle of this cake [Music] i really like it so aline told me to walk on this street on this sidewalk to get to the train because she said there's a lot of the wooden statues that yumry is famous of you guys have seen one in my last video and i'm going to show you a few more on the way to the metro to the train station [Music] so i got my ticket it looks way different than the other ticket and this is the train i see that the seats have cushions which is really good news the beginning or the front of it [Music] so the price was indeed 2 500. okay i'm gonna get on and i'll show you inside so there's actually assigned seating on this train i didn't know that i actually don't remember that but now that they said it i do remember that last time it was the same so that's kind of cool there's also windows that open up and cushion on the seating so let's see how long it takes uh before i let you guys go and say bye i just want to say um as i was walking i was reflecting one thing i really really really liked about this game is that it had a booklet they're making an announcement okay um it had a booklet that they gave us for the instructions on the game and the challenges in it it was really well organized but also it had historical facts and fun facts about guinea with the challenges so it's not just like you do the game and challenges and you leave but you actually learn stuff as you're doing them which is pretty cool okay i will see you guys in yerevan until then um thank you so much for watching love you guys so much hopefully you get to visit gumry and you get to participate and let's go let's play it's open to anybody to just kind of go and join in their events so check out their instagram page thank you so much again love you guys bye
