Secret Life: Don't Tell ANYONE | Episode 1

Welcome to Secret Life! A brand new Minecraft series taking place in the 1.20 update where this time, we only have 3 lives. The catch is that each life has 30 hearts, but there is NO regeneration!
In order to gain lost hearts, one can finish a given secret keeper task, or receive a heart from another player.
Note: 1 heart can be given to another player once per session for free.
Extra note: Apologies Minecraft sounds are a bit loud in comparison with the voices; something I'll fix!
If you're interested in Life series merch, check out the shop below!

Even without being able to regen hearts normally, between the 30 hearts per life, the secret keeper for regaining hearts, and the access to high level enchants, this actually has the potential to be a much longer Life Series than usual. And I am about it!

The missed opportunity of calling themselves Mounding Strides... 😂

[@brandonvonbo9708]

Everyone like this rule, it would make the game much more interesting: When a player thinks he has discovered another players secret, he/she may accuse that player. If the accusing player is correct, he gets rewards/hearts, if incorrect as to what the suspected players secret is, then the accusing player loses hearts and the accused player automatically passes task. This would give players hesitation in accusing players and give players incentive to try and be sneaky, even trying to goad other players into accusing them with a wrong task. This idea would provide another layer of intrigue to the game and could lead to some super funny encounters.

Hey Pearly, you mumbo and bdubs could call yourselves the moundbuilders. Which are a collective group of tribes from 3500 BCE in the Ohio River Valley. The namesake cultural trait of the Mound Builders was the building of mounds and other earthworks. These burial and ceremonial structures were typically flat-topped pyramids or platform mounds, flat-topped or rounded cones, elongated ridges. They were generally built as part of complex villages

[@teacup438]

I must share my theories. btw, this is gonna be a doozy. I just noticed that Pearl has listed Grains channel link in the description under the name 'Xelqua', which in case you don't know, is what people like to call him as a watcher (also it was his old channel name). I did check back on limited life, double life, and last life on pearls channels. Limited life, Grian is listed as 'Grian', but double life has him under Xelqua as well which is interesting. Last life doesn't have any links. EDIT: I just went through the description for all the people participating in secret life, and it wasn't just pearl who had Grian under 'Xelqua', I can't remember exactly who because I didn't write it down, but I think it was Gem, Jimmy (solidarity), maybe cleo, and i'm not sure who the others are. Grian is also the one who made the life series, as well as each season of it (last life, double life, limited life and now secret life. New life was seperate created by Scott not Grian and thus is not apart of the main chain). Lots of this lore comes from Evolution smp, so If you want some information on watchers, how Grian became one, I suggest either watching the series, or finding a recap on the lore. Watchers are essentially god like beings, the limit to their powers hasn't really been specified nor confirmed, so people make assumptions on what their limits are. We can assume they can teleport, create portals/world hopping, time manipulation, and many more abilities but these are just assumptions. The statue, looks like someone in a cloak, something that watchers are usually depicted wearing. Grian himself even basically exposed himself by editing his players face onto the statue for his thumbnail, something so obvious but people may brush it aside as 'Grian being Grian." Further more, the most obvious thing that stood out for me is the symbol on the statues face. It is basically an exact replica to the watchers broken portal symbol, A nether portal with 2 opposing corners separated from the rest. Now its not in the exact positioning, the 2 corners that are separated aren't in the correct position, nor is it the right 2 corners (search up: evo smp watcher symbol, this will show how the watchers symbol should look). This could mean something, maybe its the symbol for watchers that have 'run away', aka Grian, who left the watchers after becoming one (it's assumed, as it hasn't really been confirmed, barely any watcher lore is confirmed, so a lot of fans including myself have to make assumptions for what happened). It could also be that there wasn't enough room for the actual symbol, or they didn't want to make it too obvious to the viewers. Now another thing to be aware of is that watchers like to 'torment' or 'toy with' players, evo smp is clear evidence. Watchers in the evo smp had tests, rewards and punishments for players for doing the right or wrong thing. This 'task' system, Is suddenly feeling very familiar, though not an exact replica of what happened in evo, barely even close, but you can say that these 'tasks' are like 'tests' for players, treating those who completed the task aka good behaviour for obeying, a reward and those that don't finish, or don't obey a punishment to beat them into submission. I could be reading this too deep, but watcher lore in the life series is something that Martyn (inthelittlewood) has been doing, several times, and has fan-made animations on it as well. He was in Evo smp, and has been depicted as a listener, an enemy of the watchers. I do not know how true this is, as i'm not very knowledgeable on Martyns lore. When putting this all together, I can make two assumptions, either, Grian is the 'Secret Keeper' the one handing out tasks, and hiding as a player, but is actually a watcher (which is cannon for Grians character IN evo, I am not entirely sure if it carries over into the life series, but i'm pretty sure it does.). The second assumption is that it is another watcher, toying with the players, and Grian is either aware or not aware. BigB, Martyn, Pearl and Jimmy (solidarity), were also in Evo smp, and are tied to the law of the watchers (defiantly Martyn, but the other 3 and Grian I'm unsure if they are or not). Remember, this is just a theory of mine I needed to write down and process, also I wanted peoples opinions, and if there is anything else they have noticed to further add to this.

I'm so excited for the chaos and shenanigans that will follow this series.

Perhaps you could build a house that is right way up on the outside but upside down on the inside. It sits comfortably above the mound looking all normal but when you enter the roof is the floor with a furnace and crafting table while what should be a flat smooth floor is the interior of a roof. As an Aussie, you've built an upside-down house that everyone else sees as normal and you've set up the inside the right way that everyone else sees as upside-down.

The whole “read their task properly” was definitely because of Scar haha

[@PhilRose14]

Mumbo being annoyed because Pearl's dirt mound looks nicer than his house is the wholesome content I didn't know I needed.

[@Arranian0531]

Pearl please build your house on top your mound diagonal!

[@arulyfe6383]

yes! diagonal house!

[@AshAuntie]

I’m pretty sure Mumbo has yelled “Grian” at 27:21 as an automatic response to stress. Lol

[@Doc_Fartens]

"The Alps, but bad." I love that from Mumbo.

[@KBKEV950]

Idea for Hard Task: Mine out an entire chunk.

[@Extex_]

Curse a player with an incredibly boring episode, probably not a good idea

[@radiokiro4214]

I'm so excited for another life series!! This concept looks interesting, good luck pearl!!

[@patchsoka]

hard task idea: get someone to marry you (on the server, not real life) without them knowing its your task

[@MiddletonManiacs]

That is a good idea

[@ExcaliburPaladin]

Suggestion for a house: also build it on side but rather a back side, different axis than Mumbo. Also If bdubs and Mumbo struggle to get into their houses, just use those for aesthetic and live in mound below?

[@looser2094]

I cannot express how excited I was when I saw this pop up on my notifications! Welcome back life series!! ❤️

[@remyverse.]

Pearl has the roundest mound around.

[@thomasellis7564]

Task idea; Hard difficulty Use a dispenser to equip another player with any armor (new iron to swap for worn iron easily proven, yet might sneak it past the player) Another great series!

[@bloopblabloop9565]

Yo Pearl, you could build a house kind of sticking out of the dirt!! Like the roof is coming out of the mound. Since you're already in the mound, that could match up with what you're doing and with the other mounders' quirky houses!

[@simonpearman1308]

So hype to see a new life series! You were my first this season Pearl.

[@MarieCris09]

I was so sad when I missed out on your 5am Pearl plush, I only found out about it after the preorders were closed, so it's really nice to see 5am Pearl back in another form! Seriously considering picking up this vinyl version. Can't wait to see what sort of chaos you get up to in this series!

[@MarieCris09]

😮😊 You reacting to my post just made my day! ❤

[@_Unlived_]

First killing horses and then announcing himself as an ‘axis’. Bdubs is turning to the dark side.

[@blinkoncebuddiesreveluv6961]

Pearl on the life series is the perfect balance of wholesomeness and chaos I need

[@Qu33nOfN3rds]

Ah yes, another Life series, time to do my routine again of always starting with Soup Group, and cant wait to see if 5am Pearl makes a resurgence. Im EXCITED

[@Werewolf914]

I thought this was coming because Jimmy and I think Tango too mentioned a new series and figured it was a new Life Series and I'm very happy it is love this new idea Also love the name Mailbox I was going to say Pearl had Tilly previously and this time she lives on a mound so a good name would be Hilly 😆

[@shieldplus]

Watching all of these in sequence is so funny. The interaction where Jimmy asks her to make a shield and she's SO quick with it, you can hear the confusion and disappointment in his voice when she hands it to him none the wiser

[@Zach010ROBLOX]

I love the callback to Bdub's cubeworld series and his pet Mailbox xD
