The Sidemen Silent Library 2 is a humorous and challenging game show where participants must complete tasks silently. The host, Tobi Brown, introduces the participants, who include Simon, Josh, Vik, Harry, and Ethan. The rules are simple: seven cards are laid out, some with skull and crossbones indicating a challenge. Each participant picks a card, and once all have cards, they reveal them. If a card has the skull and crossbones, the participant must complete a silent challenge. If the challenge is not completed silently, the participant fails and a shot is taken for the gang.
The challenges include running on a hamster wheel while being pelted with projectiles, pinging a bra strap off their back, completing a game of hopscotch with Lego, withstanding a TENS machine on the highest level, downing two ice slushy drinks as quickly and quietly as possible, dunking a basketball off a mini trampoline while wearing bear goggles, and getting baptised with bugs in a glass box infested with creepy crawlies.
Despite the rules, there are many instances of participants breaking the silence, leading to the revelation that the game is not as silent as they thought. Despite the challenges, the participants manage to complete some of the tasks, but many challenges are failed, resulting in more shots for the gang. The show ends with a group round of applause for the brave participants and a call for viewers to share their favourite parts and suggestions for future challenges.
