Jayden Tries

Jayden Robinson (born ), better known online as Jayden Tries, is an English YouTuber from Yorkshire.
==Career==
=== Early Days ===
Before Jayden created his current channel, he is known to have had two pre-existing channels, these being Jagrobin and JaydenWorks. Jagrobin was his father's channel, where he uploaded a few stop-motion videos and claw machine content. He later created his own channel, JaydenWorks, where he started making content on the game Minecraft.
After a short-lived attempt to keep JaydenWorks running, Jayden begun posting content to Jayden Tries Minecraft, a new channel which would eventually become Jayden Tries Minion Rush, then Jayden Tries Gaming, and ultimately became the Jayden Tries channel.
=== Retirement ===
In 2024, Jayden announced he was leaving the Jayden Tries channel as he no longer had any desire nor enjoyment toward being a YouTuber. He is, however, still active on his Jayden Tries Productions channel, where he posts his film projects, university coursework and indie projects.
==Minion Rush==
Jayden is primarily known as one of the world's best players of the mobile game Minion Rush. He made his first Minion Rush video in 2015, and wouldn't stop until almost a decade later in 2023.
=== History ===
The highlight of his Minion Rush career kickstarted in November 2015 when one of his videos was noticed by the team who created a game, and from that point on his videos began to skyrocket in views. Jayden reached out to Gameloft for a potential collaboration with the company to create content for them, which they agreed to. They promised to send Jayden the contractual obligations regarding the partnership, but these were never sent.
=== World Record ===
On the 9th of January 2021, Jayden streamed himself getting the world record time for reaching the maximum high score on the game, without the help of modifications - this being 2,147,483,647 points in 5 hours, 57 minutes and 50 seconds. A few of the world’s best players have matched Jayden’s score, including Shady Nefarius, a close friend in the community of his, but none have recorded evidence of this. Over the following 3 years, Jayden was beaten by both FTV Funtime Videos and Jacob Santiago. On the 29th of July 2024, he beat their times coming in at 1 hour, 17 minutes and 49 seconds. As of the current day, Jayden Tries remains the Minion Rush world record holder.
=== Additional Info ===
Jayden also appears to have his own costume in Minion Rush, as shown off in his videos. However, this costume is not yet obtainable in the game, and Gameloft have not made a statement on the Costume's release date nor it's legitimacy.
In late 2023, Jayden announced he would no longer be covering Minion Rush content as he had no passion for the game left and still held a degree of resentment toward Gameloft for offering him a partnership in the early days of his channel, only to never send him the contract. He returned over a year later after a huge announcement was made regarding a complete revamp of the game, which Jayden beta tested and said he was interested in the future of.
== Movie Franchise ==
=== Origins ===
In 2016, Jayden and his friends Alex and Cole worked together to create Jayden Tries Minion Rush: The Movie. The film follows Jayden as he evades a variety of video game characters as they attempt to kill him, leading to the discovery of Scott "Animdude" Cawthon, who was behind the attacks. Upon it's upload, it struck viewers as one of Jayden's funniest videos so far, due to his utter lack of awareness that what he had made was so awful.
Despite him embracing the laughs and taking them as a compliment to his comedic style, Jayden wouldn't attempt to make another movie until 4 years later with Jayden Tries 2: Save the World Again. He also released a retconned version of the first film, renamed to Jayden Tries: The First Movie. The new story (of what was now called the Jayden Tries Cinematic Universe) follows Evil Jayden as he tries to get revenge on the younger variant of himself for supposedly killing his variant of Alex.
It was after this second film that Jayden perfected the formula of what he wanted his movies to be. He wrote out a long-term plan for the JTCU, and released an additional three entries in 2021 - Jayden Tries: The Battle for Zero, The Revenge of Wii Play and Tries'in to Save Christmas. These films clarified that the younger alternate Jayden did not kill Evil Jayden's Alex, so he goes on a redemption arc to redeem himself. They also introduced the deuteragonist Evil Alexia. It is during this journey that they discover the real culprit for their friend's death - Daniel Chapman.
=== Cinema Release ===
The JTCU had no new content for over half a year until August 2022, when Jayden Tries: The Fight 4 All Reality released. It was Jayden's first feature length movie, and was extremely well-received by both his YouTube audience and his friends. The movie turned Evil Jayden into the titular Jayden Tries - who put an end to Daniel Chapman's madness - and set up a future for more movies with Jayden Tries and Alexia Doesn't Try as the lead characters.
=== Phase Two Reveal ===
Not even 3 months on, Jayden released Better Call Tries, a Better Call Saul parody. He then partnered with his friend Harry to canonise his Otamatone Project series to the JTCU, and had Jayden Tries show up to save the day in the end-credits of The Otamatone Project 2: Rise of the Kraken. This lead to Alex and Ethan's Multiversal Misadventures, which quickly became the most beloved of Jayden's films among fans. Tales of the Otamatone Bard followed, and set up The Revenge of Wii Play 2: World War Wii, which released during April of 2024. 
=== Rebrand + Phase Three ===
In late 2023, the franchise was rebranded to the Triesverse, to allow for a more expansive range of content and media genres to be explored. The Revenge of Wii Play 2: World War Wii allowed for this rebrand to be introduced naturally, with Sydney Siratt joining Jayden as the new main lead of the franchise (both play variants of the Tries character), and giving leeway for solo stories for other characters to be set up.
The Triesverse is available to be streamed on the Jayden Tries Productions channel, alongside all of Jayden's other film-related works.

==Personal Life==
Jayden is 20 years old and is from Yorkshire, England. He was born on the 9th of February 2004. 
He was raised among divorced parents, but this did not cause any known problems to his upbringing. As a child, Jayden was eccentric and outgoing, and was especially keen on writing short stories and fiction novels. He excelled in school throughout the Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form stages and is now a full-time University student.
Growing up, Jayden's best friend was Alex Williamson. Since creating his channel in 2014, Alex would show up frequently in Jayden's varied videos - from Minecraft Lets-Plays to dare videos. Alex remains one of Jayden's best friends to this day.
Jayden's love for acting was born from a performance he took part in during his first year of secondary school, where he played Jack Scott in High School Musical Jr., getting tremendous laughs from the audience. When he was 12 years old, Jayden joined the Pauline Quirke school of Performing Arts with his friend Leo. It was via the school that he would land gigs on the London West End and assorted commercials. It was at this school that he would meet Alfie, Daniel, Millie, Abbie and Alexia, all of whom would later secure major roles in Jayden's film franchise.
Jayden's friendship with Alex led him to become good friends with Ethan Stringer. Ethan is often referred to as Sleepy Joe, due to his lack of an ability to stay awake.
Jayden would go on to gain his GCSEs and later his A-Levels, where he secured high-end grades in English, Drama and Politics. He then moved away from home and began studying journalism at University, whilst working at a local bowling establishment. His love for filmmaking continued, and he still frequently makes indie movies with his friends.
