The Christmas Maze Episode 1 - Fus Ro Dairy

Robert S. Pearson lives! The Christmas Maze returns and this year the scheming mastermind has concocted his most devious set of challenges yet.
For the first challenge, the team must identify a selection of Skyrim locations based purely on Robert S Pearson’s holiday photographs, all within a strict time limit. Can they successfully navigate this iconic Christmas location and earn themselves a crystal?

Rob definitely knows his fan base and what we love to see him do. What a wonderful intro 😂

[@mattsmith6190]

A MASSIVE thank you to all the people at access. Not only to our wonderful hosts on screen, but to everyone behind the scenes who make it happen. Thank you all for another great year of content. We love you guys!

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

I love that they make this, and I hope they are still having great fun with it.

[@marhawkman303]

@@AlmightyPolarBear even the guy at 1:14 whose face is pixelated out. O-o'

[@BigBossIncarnate]

I 2nd this so much matt 😮 love this every year

[@iamthejolson]

I will now and forever root for Robert S Pearson over his foolish challengers

[@retrogamerdad9621]

Always have!

[@0202revan]

Always will!!!

[@NormanReaddis]

Enjoyed Access here more than a decade now. I grew up with the team.

[@Zlatano-pc5pd]

I’m so glad this is how other people feel watching these!!

[@AurelianVT]

My favorite yearly tradition! Every chance i get to watch the Christmas Maze it just brings a smile to my face.

[@Shepherd_Tallon]

With Christmas Maze back I'm now perfectly aware that it's Christmas ☺

[@Vargol]

It can't be Xmas I haven't "Driving Home For Christmas" once 🤣

[@kalinrafaes7467]

Yesss Yesssss!!

[@shawnsmith4692]

Christmas doesn't officially exist until Robert S Pearson appears

[@jmace2424]

It’s not Christmas until Robert S. Pearson walks fabulously through the fragrance! 🤗

[@jessicapalomaki]

One of the absolute best parts of Christmas! Never abandon this tradition.

[@sang3tsu]

It truly feels like Christmas now that the Maze is back.

[@Sandmancoast]

This is honestly the highlight of my Christmas every year.

[@Monkeyzforever]

That Lord of the Rings Gandalf intro was absolutely perfect. I'm sure Ash is very flattered to be compared to a Balrog 😂

[@g_usa_ca]

Love the homage to LoTR at the very beginning. So much identity of the team shows through in everything you do. The absolute best team dynamics where people bring the best of themselves on KZbin. And the Christmas maze brings it all together. #vodsquad

[@kevincleary6073]

Rob doing a "Woe is me " Villain Monologue is great way to start the competition

[@PRIDEY999]

Someone give that man an Oscar. That intro had me on the edge of my seat !

[@desmondwhoa8779]

That beginning is one for the ages, thank you so much for all of this year in year out. We are never let down and spoiled. Thanks everyone

[@PDSRoxas]

Dan sighting at 5:02 😊. (And the little sigh he does is hilarious)

[@n3bulav876]

The Christmas maze has become tradition for me. Christmas time doesn’t officially start for me until the Christmas maze returns

[@teza1383]

‘Stay away from the crab’ ‘That’s good life advice’ 😂

[@LargeLimpet]

There are two things that I look forward to the most at Christmas. 1. Putting the Christmas tree up 2. The Christmas Maze Here's to another great series, cheers guys you are amazing ❤

[@vinizzle7000]

Rob is an artist and Robert S Pearson is his masterpiece

[@DDSlawson]

This is legit one of my favourite Christmas traditions. Really feels like Christmas now.

[@AO191]

Just wanted to let you know that your KZbin videos bring so much joy and happiness into my life. Your channel is genuinely one of the best out there! Keep up the fantastic work! And yes, creative fantastic intro 👏

[@conservo3203]

The only bad thing about this series is that it’s not long enough. I look forward to this every year. Really, really fun. Thank you and have great christmas.

[@friedgirl8]

What a way to kick off the Christmas Maze, with a lovely jaunt in Skyrim. Love this series. 🥰

[@DaStarrchild]

Never stop doing this series 👏🏽 🙌🏾 👌🏾

[@Th0rneo]

Thank you so much to Rob and the whole team for putting this together every year! Absolutely adore this series, one of my annual highlights! Can’t wait to see more.

[@runarnjalsson7036]

As A MASSIVE lotr nerd and an access fan this into was absolutely perfect. I found myself cheering out loud. 👌

[@shadowlinkbds]

Is everyone aware of the situation? I hope so because Christmas Maze is back baby!!!! 🎄 🎄 🎄

[@URNoobish]

There's no greater joy than watching Xmas Maze

[@Berry_Best]

Rob in the locations on the pictures is amazing 😂

[@atomicred7766]

Oh I look forward to the Christmas Maze every year. It's not Christmas until I see Robert S. Pearson

[@IQ-Gameplay]

Petition for Dave to travel to Solitude blindfolded during next year's Christmas Maze :D

[@rolandkis1990]

This is incredible! To consistently deliver such quality over the years is AMAZING!

[@jadethegamermc]

Rob making for a great Richard O'Brian. Robert O'Brian. First Christmas maze for me.

[@rus.t]

Can't believe that this is starting to become a Christmas tradition for me... not that I'm complaining

[@Jerler91]

The journey to markath had all the energy of chaotic family road trip, with Ash working on puns and Dave nearly running off cliffs 😂

[@forhelghan]

Ok

[@peace4myheart]

Always looking forward to these every year. It's like a Christmas gift to all of us from the Playstation Access team, the gift of laughter.

[@rjmelville8]

This is literally one of my favorite Christmas traditions now! I know a LOT of work goes into this series every year. I hope everyone knows that it is much anticipated and very much appreciated.

[@jalektor9670]

Loved the LOTR intro. Fantastic! !

[@randomness051]

Rob really outdid himself last year with 'Robopoly' so I wonder how he's gonna top that. Honestly the thought of coming home to the Xmas maze is all that got me through the day today

[@pgray1238]

I'm so excited for The Christmas Maze this year! It's become such a fun tradition to the Christmas season and something I really look forward to every year! Thank you so much for your hard work Access team, you're all amazing!

[@CoryMcPherson]

So freaking happy right now! I've been rewatching the old Christmas Maze episodes wishing for new ones this year and lo and behold, Robert S Pearson and the Access team come through with a Christmas miracle. Thanks so much for doing this! Keep up the good work and all the best in the new year, Access😁🎄

[@antonytaylor8582]

This is probably the best bit of entertainment over the holidays.

[@glaziuz7577]

The nostalgia, the music, Dave's horseback riding into all sorts of chaos in Skyrim, Rosie and Ash just being their lovely selves and Rob our favorite Christmas host who just hates losing 😄. Our year is complete now with our favorite show.

[@paulthorpe1147]

Now it's Christmas . This has become a Christmas tradition for me now ,I look forward to it every year . Thank you to everyone at access for all the content you guys give us all year around.

[@djnuttz635]

Can’t believe Rob has manufactured this challenge to be fed cheese by his colleagues. Next one you’ll have to fan him and feed him grapes

[@CrazeeAdam]

Granted he got 0 cheese fed to him. Lol.

[@RoboKSim]

The Christmas Maze is the highlight of my year! Thank you for all the hard work and the fun and laughs you provide us!

[@andykegs5584]

The Christmas Maze begins! This is now more of a ‘Yes it’s Christmas!’ Moment than even the coke ‘holidays are coming’ advert for me and no better way to start than Skyrim!

[@elven_ninja]

Beyond excited, have so been waiting for this! Go Rob!

[@steveslenderman]

It is never truly Christmas until Robert S Pearson shows up! ❤❤❤

[@kiranm1747]

I genuinely look forward to the Christmas Maze more than any actual new TV show or movie, so good

[@forhelghan]

Ok

[@Jason-oo4cc]

"We all get cheese if you stay to the path" is the best quote of the episode

[@sirprintalot]

YES YES YES thank you Access for yet another Christmas treat.

[@jameshamblin3964]

I'm a newbie to the channel and usually listen to the podcasts whilst grinding out some boring plats. I gotta say everyone one of you are brilliant. One of the best podcasts and loved watching my very first episode of the Christmas maze and can't wait to watch more of this season's and all of the past seasons. Hope you all had fun and wish you all a happy Christmas and a safe new year.

[@alanw9620]

So happy to see this becoming a Christmas staple. Its so good.

[@rebelwithout-a-clue]

21:45 Dan really wanted to see those travellers get mauled by a bear

[@mrchrista469]

Now it’s Christmas! Really appreciate the work that goes into this series. Brilliant!

[@OliverMeredew-is4vi]

Brilliant! I was getting worried that we wouldn't have this festive treat in 2023! 🙌

[@DanRPGMan]

It doesn't feel like Christmas time until I watch Christmas Maze. I have to hold back this year and start later because I'm out of work with a severe illness so I don't want to go through watching them too quickly. Mery Christmas to everyone at PlayStation Access.

[@adamrhodes7920]

I don't watch a lot of KZbin, but I watch the Christmas maze every year

[@TheProjectII]

Love the series every year!

[@CrazeeAdam]

Yes!! Thank you so much. This will make the season all the more better! Lol Ash just enjoying cheese and crackers while the other two struggled is just funny to me

[@GodMcQueen]

*It's been a year already? Let's go!*

[@crystalp2312]

I normally love Christmas time - I'm a "day after Thanksgiving" starter 😂 I haven't felt as festive this year. Just seeing Christmas Maze has lifted my spirits and Robert S. Pearson's villainy has warmed my heart ❤

[@therattis23]

Yesss! Skyrim, cheese, and the Christmas Maze! It's the OFFICIAL START of the holiday season!

[@Dollightful]

Yesssss! Let's goooooooo

[@neelshah3742]

It's back!!! best part of the holidays! Thank you to the whole access team. Can't wait to see the next episode

[@michael49834]

Thank you for continuing to make these specials. I appreciate all the hard work from everyone on and off screen at PlayStation Access.

[@robingjertsen7738]

Leopard print & a tophat has never filled me with so much festive energy 😂 Winter wishes to all you guys ❤

[@jeriendhal]

I'm currently in Beijing on a once in a lifetime trip, and will be here on Christmas Day, but even far from home, the return of The Christmas Maze brings a holiday smile to my face

[@jeriendhal]

Mind you, this is DESPITE the impled image of Naked Robert S. Pearson in beginning...

[@MartynRice1]

Robert? Yes, that's what they used to call me. Robert the Merciful....I am Robert S. Pearson the Merciless

[@mart2077]

After every year following P Access, Xmas Maze always feels like a medal.....nit that we need anything as all der content is amazing. Also the music still gives me goosebumps

[@erikohman2294]

When it comes to yotube entertainment NOTHING beats the christmas maze. On the hype train since oktober. Just yesterday I did the last check before giving up, nut today, its finally here! Even with an omage to dr who! Love it.

[@tsubyx]

I had a really long day at work today. This really helped me relax and unwind. Thank you guys! 😊It’s officially Christmas time 🎉

[@esteban280889]

Christmas maze has become the pinnacle of the year. You've found an amazing Xmas series that will always be different because new games come out

[@billybattery]

The gandalf intro!! god rob you truly are the only thing i look forward to this time of year lol

[@Hirooshii1]

I have been waiting all year for this!!!!!!!

[@jomorgan89]

That LOTR intro was fantastic, made me chuckle 😂 And it's great to see Delsin Rodant again, even if he is just sitting on top of the tree😁

[@gagegrogan4352]

I love the Christmas maze man, I can sit down and forget about all the stress and horror of the world and root for, or against, the great Robert S. Pearson. Thank you guys for another great series and thanks you Rob for coming up with these amazing games year after year, we love you for it! ❤

[@garethwilliams6078]

Been waiting for this !! Literally makes my Christmas !

[@hibernal]

25:33 "or this one with the dragony bridge" The town is literally called Dragon Bridge 😄 Haha love it

[@Zither_Bard]

This is such a creative first challenge! I love cheese so much and finding every wheel was a lot of fun for the team and us watching. :D

[@ajohndoe17]

I’ve waited all year for this series

[@MorphMeep-mw7kb]

Felt like a nice chilled introduction to Maze 23. I hope there will bevsome Alan Wake, Balder's Gate or Resident Evil 4 in the Maze this year.

[@PodcastNow]

2 weeks ago my wife asked me "has the Christmas Maze started yet?" We've been waiting and we're unbelievable excited for our yearly tradition of watching this insanity!!! Thanks as always for the work you all do for these, hope you see we LOVE it!!

[@krsty216]

Even got mince pies for it!

[@carstenwentzel5382]

You know it's Christmas, when the Christmas maze is back 🎉🤗my favourite Christmas tradition here the past few years, great job PS Access for all the fun 😀

[@MovieFanatic4500]

I look forward to the Maze every year. Yall are awesome!

[@charliejones7247]

watching this and immediately knowing the locations and the best route proved to me two things; 1: I have played a lot of Skyrim over the last twelve years 2: The doctor was right! I am definitely autistic

[@andreasjohnsen8236]

Amazing first episode! Love to be back in Skyrim! Loved that you had left actual cheese around in Skyrim 😍

[@midgeman90]

Great Gandalf reference at the beginning there.

[@joyfulgamer10]

I love everything about this THANK YOU TEAM

[@melissaharrison9458]

I’m so happy Christmas maze is back!! Thank you for your awesome content team.

[@n-kap4064]

So glad that this Series has returned - the quality and hard work shines through. Cant wait for another week and bit of Christmas Maze Magic!

[@Wiredexe]

Watching The Christmas Maze and eating Christmas dinner leftover sandwiches is the tradition I didn't know I needed.

[@paulwilliamharrison]

Yesss. Thankyou guys. Have a great Christmas and a happy new year. To everyone ❤

[@SlyRatchet4]

Awesome first episode! Looking forward to the rest of the Christmas Maze, they're always so good! 🥰

[@lesliew8362]

Amazing job all around! I will continue to look forward to these each Christmas

[@BissjeTommy]

So happy The Christmas Maze is back this year. It´s quickly become my favorite holiday series on KZbin. cant wait to see what happens this year

[@Hero1922]

Always a treat to see the christmas maze, you all do wonderful work but this is always a wonderful way to celebrate the season. Best of luck to everyone involved I'm hard pressed on who I want to support this year, Robert S. Pearson always brings a great show but the team of players just fill my heart with hope.

[@killer24361]

You know it’s the best time of year when The Christmas Maze is back. Great work as always guys.
