Getting the Royal Guard to Laugh May Bring You Closer to Them

There’s something inherently funny trying to get somebody to laugh who can’t on pain of death, or at least hurt pride.

This is the inspiration for Royal Guard Cheese, a game where you try to induce a guard to laugh with well-placed props that include a feather, a rubber ducky and a teddy bear. Getting him to laugh like this could win you a free trip to London.

STA, are you paying attention? Just kidding. You know we love you.
