0:00Niko explains the blindfolds, follow-up questions and map scoring: three points for the correct country, one for closest.
1:50Ayuna's Sabahan Malay dialect sends the teams towards different neighbouring countries.
5:07A question about traditional dances leads Benson Wilson to explain siva and distinguish it from haka.
9:15The French-speaking round brings questions about time zones and Disneyland.
17:22The play-along round hides the speaker from viewers; the country reveal comes at 19:44.

Chunkz spots the problem before the guessing begins: "I'm an aesthetics man, I think 80% of it is how they look. That's what I'm good at." NDL's new language challenge takes that advantage away with a blindfold.

Niko Omilana and Chunkz team up against language expert Piwi in "GUESS THE LANGUAGE VS EXPERT (BLINDFOLD EDITION)", which has drawn about 543,000 views since yesterday. Everyone guessing must listen to a native speaker read a prompt, then use a follow-up question to help place them on a world map. Identifying the language is only part of the job: the answer needs to be a country.

The opening round makes that distinction count. Ayuna speaks a Sabahan Malay dialect, sending the teams towards different neighbouring countries. Elsewhere, the questioning becomes an exercise in finding useful shortcuts: traditional dances for a Samoan speaker, a time-zone question for someone speaking French, and drinks and football players for Brazilian Portuguese.

There is room for the guests to explain things, too. Benson Wilson describes the Samoan siva and distinguishes it from the Māori haka, giving the round something beyond a pin on a map.

Several viewers are discussing Chunkz's geographical deductions, while others want the format reversed into an eyes-only edition. NDL already has an established appetite for this game: its Asia edition is among the channel's most-watched regular uploads.

This version eventually removes a clue from the audience as well. In the play-along round, the speaker is hidden from viewers, leaving them to work with the voice and answers just as the blindfolded teams do.
