xQc got the fright of his life not once but twice during a recent Roblox livestream. While playing the hit game Grow a Garden, the former Overwatch pro was busy swiping items from other players’ gardens when he became the unsuspecting victim of a developer prank.
Jandel, the main developer of Grow a Garden, quietly joined xQc’s game session and waited for just the right second to pull off his trick. As xQc took off his headphones for a bit and then popped them back on to keep playing, Jandel triggered a jump scare that made the streamer flinch in his seat.
What made the whole thing even funnier was Jandel’s patience. After xQc shook off the first scare, the developer hung around and waited for him to repeat the headphone routine before dropping another well-timed fright.
“It’s an automatic reflex and I can’t stop if I wanted to,” xQc said about his over-the-top headphone-removing move, mentioning that he keeps whacking his hands because he pulls them off so fast.
After the scares, Jandel let xQc know who he was, and the two had a friendly chat. They talked about the game’s features and how successful it’s become, joking about how much money some Roblox games rake in. It all wrapped up on a good note when Jandel gifted xQc some in-game goodies.
Grow a Garden has become one of Roblox’s big hits, especially with younger players. The game is all about laid-back gardening, collecting stuff, and competitive fun—like the thieving xQc was up to when the developer caught him in the act.
Since then, the clip’s been everywhere on social media, with fans saying it’s “the best xQc clip in like three years.” It shows off those off-the-cuff, hilarious moments that happen when game devs and major streamers cross paths in open gaming worlds.
