In a detailed and elaborate prank, a YouTuber known as Kay orchestrated his own in-game death to get revenge on his best friend, Ian, for not playing the game "Steal a Brainrot" with him. The entire event was designed to make Ian miss him and was captured through Ian's perspective as he was live-streaming at the time.
Setting Up the Ultimate Prank
The creator, Kay, felt his feelings were hurt when his friend Ian repeatedly declined his invitations to play. To get back at him, he devised a prank by creating a custom "Steal a Brainrot" map. The plan involved Ian spawning into a bizarre world with cursed, floating bases.
The centerpiece of the prank was Kay's own Roblox character lying "dead" on the floor, accompanied by a sign that read, "Find out how Kay died." From there, Ian would have to explore the map to uncover a hidden tunnel. This tunnel contained a series of creepy messages designed to build suspense, such as "Keep going to find out what happened to Kay" and "Have fun finding out." The end of the tunnel led to a final, undisclosed challenge, after which Kay planned to reveal the prank.
Ian's Confused and Emotional Reaction
Upon joining the game, Ian was immediately confused, questioning why the world looked so strange and where Kay was. His confusion quickly turned to shock when he discovered the motionless body of "Swag Lord_K." Ian expressed genuine distress, mentioning that he hadn't been able to play with Kay recently.
During his stream, Ian made some surprising statements, telling his chat that he "had a romantic thing" with Kay and "lowkey liked him like that." As he began his search, Ian performed mock CPR on the Roblox character and spoke to the "dead" body, flexing that he makes more money.
The Hunt for Answers Begins
Guided by suggestions from his livestream chat, Ian began to search the unusual map for clues. His viewers suggested he look under the bases, which were tilted and floating in the air. After some misdirection, Ian located a hidden hole in the ground under one of the corner bases.
Dropping down, he found himself in a dark room with a single button, which he compared to one from a Mr. Beast video. After pressing the button, a message appeared stating that a "Secret conveyor belt just opened." This confirmed to Ian that he needed to investigate a nearby tunnel to uncover the truth behind his friend's in-game demise.
Navigating a Treacherous Path
Ian proceeded into the newly opened tunnel, where he was met with the series of intimidating messages left by Kay. As he reached the end, he was suddenly teleported into a dark and challenging obby. Despite his fear and the difficulty of the parkour, Ian pushed forward, motivated by a desire to find out what happened to his friend.
He expressed regret for being "really mean to him earlier" and wished he could say one last thing to Kay. During the obby, part of the course had to be built in real-time by one of Kay's friends, leading Ian to believe the person who "killed" Kay was in the room with him. Though he struggled and even cheated by skipping some parts, Ian eventually made it to the boss room.
The Final Showdown and a Surprising Revelation
At the end of the obby, Ian entered a boss room where he was confronted by a giant Tim Cheese, a character he despises. The boss declared, "I killed K. I've always hated you." Fueled by a desire for revenge, Ian fought and successfully defeated the giant Tim Cheese to serve "justice for K."
Immediately after the fight, Kay called Ian on Discord to reveal the prank. At first, Ian thought Tim Cheese had hacked Kay's account. Kay then appeared in-game, spawning his character behind Ian and confirming he was alive. Ian was overjoyed, expressing relief that his friend was okay, despite the absurdity of believing a Roblox death was real.
The Real Reason Behind the Friendship Fallout
With the prank revealed, Kay explained that he only did it because he was upset that Ian kept refusing to play with him. Ian then confessed the real reason he had been avoiding their gaming sessions: he was tired of Kay constantly making "mom jokes." He admitted that his main goal, had Kay truly been gone, was to say he wanted the jokes to stop. The two friends apologized and reconciled, with Kay promising to stop making the jokes.
