Go to the comment section to know how this ends.

I mostly made this for myself since I've seen people make keychains and pins so I hope this is ok. I am pretty proud of how it turned out even though the sizing could be better. Outfits are loosely based on Australia (season 10).

I had zero intention of finding his spot. I just wanted to see a cool water fall and then cool rocks. Sadly the water falls had no water. FYI Izu-Kogen rocks and a really cool place to see nature. I also went to the old volcano that had archery in the middle of it.

Just started watching over the past few months, and this was mostly inspired by wanting to draw Adam's coin-flipping anguish! But I also had to get in some Drunk Ben and Sam getting an idea for a plan (that will backfire or go awry or otherwise never come to fruition).

No reasonable explanation for the magical jetlag themed portal they're walking through though...

I was rewatching Tag Eur It (All Stars) and at the end of episode two Ben & Brian have the plane to take an early flight to Switzerland. Is it possible for them to go through security before the end of the game day and restart their gameday airside? What are the rules around this? Having listened to the layover and how the dissect all possibilities it seems they would've considered this so does anyone know if they've ever publicly discussed it?

​

And I started listening to the podcasts. I never realised how much Sam says “y’all”.

I wonder if Wendover Sam or HAI Sam are also cowboys.

Going to rewatch previous seasons and listen to the podcasts. See y’all later.

Hey guys,

I live in Wrocław and I'm looking for some people willing to play Hide & Seek. Mainly in Wrocław, but maybe in other polish cities.

Tbh if you live in Poland and looking for people to play, then comment or send me a dm and I hope we'll come up with something. I have time and I'm willing to create some discord or group chat, if there will group to play.

I have my copy of the game and I played it of in Wrocław once, so I kinda know how to manage this. I played in whole tram + bus system and it worked quite well. Of course certain rules would be decided later, but I'm sure its possible to have some fun here (or in other cities).

I had a dream recently where in the stateside scramble finale instead of drawing the people mover wildcard on day 5 Adam and Ben drew the Russia Wild Card and flew to Moscow to claim it. In the AU Sam and Amy actually claimed all 3 new England states but still lost because Ben and Adam claimed the one nation larger than Canada to get a larger total area. Obviously that makes no sense because Russia isn’t connected to any state they claimed but it’s dream logic so yeah…

I’d like to believe this is metaphor for how Sam feels when he plays against Ben and Adam

Basically the title!

Where do you want to see the boys go, and what would you want a season there to look like? These can be any sized games: from city wide to multiple countries.

Just wanna hear ideas from this subreddit, and see if something similar comes to fruition in the future!

You guys would have 40+ hours of footage each season to ingest, and markup. I’m currently in a similar boat, editing a non-jet lag related adventure game show I shot last year, with around 30 hours of footage.

Is there anyone here who works on Jet lag’s edit? Or if Ben is around?

The Q’s are: I’m a solo creator, it’ll take me two weeks min to ingest, log, markup the footage. Have you guys found a workflow that allows gets you through it quicker?

Is there a better workflow for multicam-ing? It’s all quite tedious when iPhones don’t have a time code.

How much are you doing in pre-pro to make this easier?

How much are you relying on the boys during production to produce themselves effectively, and to make your jobs easier? (I ask this one specifically as I did not produce myself effectively, so I’m worried I don’t have an edit)

Just watching the third episode of Hide and Seek Japan, the one where Sam is in Narita airport, and the guys immediately ask "is your nearest international airport the same as ours?" The answer is yes, but that only splits the map in half. This confused me, what criteria are they following for "international" airport, because there are dozens in Japan, and I can't see what rationale there would be for that question to split the map in that way.

I mean they have the same initials 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
Pls tell me I’m not crazy

Tom was absolutely right, theres worse sweat out there.

In episode 4, when they roll the steal, you can see two unused tickets in the flop. The first one appears to be a 600 or 800 mile train for raving in a cave, where you get glowsticks and dance to music in a cave for 5 minutes.

The other one is a 600 mile flight to/from a regional airport for eating a regional food.

Does anyone else know some unused flop tickets that were never pulled?

With Episode 1 of Japanoroma now having amassed over a million views on YouTube and having more views than S18 E1 and almost as many as S17 E1, it’s clear that this season is already proving incredibly popular. Obviously, it’s early days but the game design seems well thought through with already many memorable moments in episode 1 alone. Ben did say that this was their best season yet but it will difficult to rival the popularity of season 3. Do we think it can surpass it?
(Obviously there’s no way of properly predicting but I thought it was interesting to speculate)

I know in the past he's said he's got clothes from thrift ​shops and Uniqlo. Any help would be appreciated!

An update of a bit popular British railway-based game in Roblox brought pigeons to a King's cross-based station because of Jet Lag: Hide and seek UK

Hey Jetlag Hiders and Seekers,

Me and a couple friends are currently planning to plan hide and seek (the home game) for the first time and due to the area we live in and the fact we are 4 young women, we're trying to take all the precautions we can to make sure we do it safely. E.g. Pre-selecting stations we know aren't too dangerous, going in pairs, etc. However, we aren't too sure how to do the endgame safely and was wondering if anyone had any advice.

The idea of sitting in a not main street for something like 45 minutes doesn't feel incredibly safe. So any adjustments or changes anyone's made when playing the game that they can suggest would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!

Yesterday we played the Home Game across London. The boundary was Greater London, with any station on the tube map being a valid hiding station. We had two teams of two playing. We strictly set a time limit of 4 hours for each run, which was ambitious but necessary to allow for travelling back home, and for having a little break in between runs to have a chat.

We tossed a coin to see who would go first. My girlfriend and I lost the toss and our opponents chose to hide first.

As Kings Cross was the starting point, we added a handicap that the the first team to hide only had 50mins to hide, and also that our first question was free.

Run 1: Using matching airport, walking a 1/2 mile thermometer, and then the 10 mile radius being a miss, we got the map down to a very small area very quickly. Notwithstanding a brief detour from the Mediocre Travel Agent who sent us off to the SOAS Gallery in Russell Square, we had our first difficult decision to make - the map was split in two, a chunk in Northernmost London, and a chunk around Romford, in far East London. Our gut, (and a bit of mapwork) told us they went east but we had to be sure.

For our game, we introduced 'London Sub-Region' as one of the Administrative Tiers. This essentially divides the city into North, South, East, West and Central and functions the same way as the Borough question for New York. So we decided to take the Piccadilly Line up to Manor House, walk into Finsbury Park (the southernmost point of 'North London' and ask if our sub-region matched. It didn't.

We headed off to East London, and from the map it looked like they were on one of 4 stations on the District line, or one of 2 stations on the Elizabeth line. We boarded a District Line train at Aldgate East and asked if our train would stop at their station. It would not. At Whitechapel we boarded an Elizabeth Line station and asked the same question (for double!). Our service once again would not stop at their station.

At this point we felt pretty confused and low on energy so we divided into a Burger King outside or Stratford Station. We mygot hit with Curse of the Ransom Note and also the Unguided Tourist in quick succession but as these coincided with a tactical break from travelling we didn't lose too much time. My girlfriend suggested I reset the map and put in everything again. It was worth a go, I guess? Strangely enough this time, the town of Fairlop on the Central line was in play. We sent a custom radar which just included Fairlop and it was a hit. We then asked for a Place of Worship photo as we knew there wasn't one in their area and it returned a null answer. On arriving at the station we matched station platform and tallest building photos we saw earlier. We were on to them! But

...there was only 20minutes left and they hit us with Lemon Phalactery. We went to the one grocery store within walking distance of the station. Did they sell lemons? They did not. At this point we conceded we wouldn't find them and met up in the local Spoons. They had 27mins of time bonuses meaning 4hr 27m was the time to beat.

Run 2: We didn't know where we wanted to hide, thankfully we made it to Fairlop station just as a train was pulling into the platform. We looked at a few options and decided on changing at Stratford and riding the Mildmay (Overground) line as far enough as we wanted to. Slightly because it's unintuitive but secondly because our hiding station would probably be in a nice bit of North-Central London with lots of cafes and pubs. We settled on Caledonian Road & Barnsby. We were quite happy with our choice, although I was concerned about the Station Platform question as I think it was very obvious we were outside, and more likely than not, on the Overground.

Our friends strangely decided not to set off straightaway but ask their first few questions from the comfort of the pub. They confirmed we were no longer in the East London sub-region, after which we drew Curse of the Drained Brain! Unfortunately they hit us with the 10mile radar before we could ban it but we banned the 1/4 mile radar, 1/2 mile thermometer and photo of the station platform without having to discard anything! The 10 mile was a hit, by the barest of margins and with hindsight we wondered if we should have stayed on for one more station...on the plus side, we drew a 18min time bonus (equivalent of 30min in the long game). As good a start as you can get for the hiders!

The seekers got caught up in delays to the Central line which forced them to alight at Leytonstone and walk to the Leytonstone Overground station. Suddenly our happiness at the delays turned into a slight concern. They made a bee-line for South Tottenham to confirm we weren't in the Northern Sub-Region. They then hit us with a 3 mile radar. It was a miss by a matter of yards! We both agreed if they'd asked a 5 mile radar they would have smelt blood. After a brief Unguided Tourist stint where they found a basketball court pretty quickly, they took the Victoria Line down to King's Cross and narrowed us down with both a 2 and a 1 mile radar. By this point we'd picked up some more time bonuses, including a duplicate we planned to use on the 18min. They were so close but had to try and waste their time. The Medicore Travel Guide sent them to Camden Town Hall, at which point they fell into the trap of using Tentacles - when only 1 mile away why not? The problem is this gave us now 1hr 3min of time bonuses. 3hr 25min into their run we declared we had won but said we could carry on if they wanted to. They asked if we were in the endgame and when I confirmed we weren't, we all agreed to end the run and head to the Wetherspoons in St Pancras.

Some thoughts!

- The game really needs a proper mapping app. The https://taibeled.github.io/JetLagHideAndSeek/ one worked really well for most things but it's still clunky and hard to add/takeaway things like local authority areas.

- I do feel measuring from where you are at any moment compared with the station location is unfair. I know our opponents eliminated our station because it was in the 3 mile radar but we weren't at the time.

- It's exhausting but in the absolute best way. We only allowed ourselves 10hours for the only game out of practical necessity but if we play again next time I'll try to see if we can allow for 12 hours.

- Finally, would recommend!

Sorry, I'm sure there have been countless variations on this, but I hope the Manchester angle makes this specific enough to be legitimate.

I'm planning my first H&S home game in Manchester in 2 weeks, and would appreciate input from anyone who's played this on a similar network, or has general advice.

The setup:

• 7 players, proposing 3 teams (3, 2, 2)
• 3 rounds, so every team gets a turn hiding
• 2 seeking teams working independently
• Award for longest hiding time, and quickest seeking time
• 12-hour game day maximum - 8am to 8pm
• Half of the Greater Manchester boroughs: Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Tameside, Stockport
• 141 stations valid as hiding-zone centres (77 tram, 64 train)
• 45 minutes hiding time per round

Questions:

1. Has anyone played around Greater Manchester, or a similarly sized/dense UK transit network? What did you learn?
2. Will 45-minute hiding rounds let us fit 3 full rounds into a 12-hour day considering hiding time, transition, and seeking times?
3. And is 45 minutes actually enough for the hider to get properly clear of the start point on this kind of network?
4. Any tips for running two independent seeker teams chasing the same hider at once, rather than one combined seeker group?
5. Most of the players haven't seen the show or aren't familiar with the format - any advice or experience for helping it flow nicely with them?
6. What physical gear do you actually end up needing on the day - paper maps, pencils, a compass, anything else that turned out essential?
7. How do you narrow down the search once you're down to the hiding zone? A printed map of the whole region won't have the resolution for that. Do you switch to a phone/zoomed digital map at that point, print detailed insets for the denser zones in advance, or just work off memory?

Any general advice or ideas very welcome. Very anxious and keen to get it right.
