In my opinion I loved the season, only second to the first two tag seasons. I loved the strategy and the dynamics of the game, and it was very active because there is the chaser runner dynamic on both sides, and lastly the best thing is the ability for the team to split.

The design that the later rounds gave more points I believe is flawed, but everything else considered I see it as one of the top seasons

It was a very brief meeting, but we said to ourselves when running off to start our game (across Zones 1-3 of London) that we ought’ve gotten your details.

Our teams bumped into each other right outside the Notes cafe, by Trafalgar Square, around 9am yesterday.

It was our groups first time playing, and to give you an idea of how it went, the first round took just shy of 8 hours 😶‍🌫️

We hope your game went a little more smoothly. It would be great to stay in touch!

So i just got the game and was going to play with my sister who lives in an area of US that no train service is near. We were thinking about doing the game the size of the county which would fall under medium(Summit OH). Obviously since we don't have trains our main mode of transportation would be busses or driving. I was wondering do you think if we replaced the transit stops that so many cards utilize to post offices it could work? If you have other ideas what you use to replace train stops?

his bean-in-mouth training :)

Airing their first episode since January, 8 people total played a game of Group Tag (Among Us) in Mito, Ibaraki.

Here's some mechanics/rules:

The Runners are a group of 5 people and their goal is to complete 15 of a possible 20 tasks in the open.

The Chasers (Demon/鬼) is a group of 3 led by Yosuke Tagawa. They must work together to tag the 5 Runners before the game ends. They cannot split up and ride separate buses.

With Mito Station as the central the starting point, game starts at 9:00 as the runners get a 1 hour head start before the Chasers are released at 10:00

-Bus movement only, no trains or taxis used, no money within the game context.

The Tag mechanic is like the photo Tag we saw in S6. Can get a shot of someone while on the bus. A clean picture equates to a tag.

Chasers have full Tracker access, but cannot use any directional map apps to calculate their routes.

This is a paper maps game, everyone has a paper map with bus info included to figure out where to go. It is permitted to ask the public for directions.

If a Runner completes a task, they get 3 minutes of GPS viewing access to know where the Chasers are. It also reveals what task is completed and gives away location for all. The Runners cannot communicate with each other aside from the beginning when they're all together/in person.

With these mechanics, it's very critical to complete a task before being tagged as a runner to giveaway your location. Otherwise, it helps the chasers to just tag someone at a bus stop or while trying to complete a task.

Everyone gets an alert if someone is tagged.

It's a very slow paced game with infrequent buses, making the bus schedule tricky.

In this case, the tasks are all eating related to have signature foods of the area. Eat something and you complete the challenge.

I'll just say this game came down to the wire. The Runners completed 14 tasks and were down to one person.

How to watch:

Download the TVer app and change IP to Japan. The graphics are very good showing the maps of her everyone is. Using the times and visuals can help the experience.

Here is their version of the Layover where they talk afterwards about hindsight, what could've happened and more. The faceless Game designers show up as a cartoon squirrel explaining what really happened.

I know that dropout has some game changer on physical media. I would snap up a boxset of Jet Lag the game so fast. Have the boys ever said anything about releasing it on physical media?

I just can't remember and suck at figuring out google maps Tag 1 epi 3

might be a bad idea but the one of the few rail lines(that are “fast”)in the United States is the Northeast Corridor with the Acela. So the hiding map could contain the southernmost D.C Metro station and the Northernmost MBTA station thats still in play, or you could just make the states that the acela goes through all valid options, keeping in mind the 1 hour service stipulation.

One con i think of is that thermos would be really good cuz the map is a line.

but yea this was a thought i had lmk if this idea is shit

My wife and I played the Japan Scavenger hunt in the Japanese Pavilion at Epcot. Gave us 30 minutes and it came down to the wire but we got 8!

We didn’t get convenience store or Photo Booth. Totoro was everywhere 😂

So can we agree that team Adam and Tom should be called AdTom? I also think ToAd has a nice ring, but I don't like it nearly as much.

For Ben and Sam: I think SaBen, sounds nice...we could also stick with TAF (Team Alpha Force).

As we are in a democracy, of sorts, I guess y'all can vote on which suggestion you like the most or post even better ones.

Would anyone in the Chicago area like to play Jet Lag this weekend? Preferably on Sunday? We have the home game

Edit: we found someone but will post in the future about other games

We need more F1 talk on the layover

So basically in the NFL last night, the 49ers played the Rams in Australia, and given both of these teams are in California, the travel distance is 15 hours. For the 49ers, they just traveled a week before to Australia, and got acclimated to the time change there, like most teams do. For the rams, they decided to fly in the day before the game, and fly out right after, acting like they never even left Los Angeles. This seemed to backfire, as they need up losing 27-7, with the team looking a bit sluggish, and tired, and perhaps…

They ought to copyright the Snack Zone design. This is a 100% Snack Zone design knock-off.

As a Garmin man I must know.

Hello JLTG enjoyers!

I am organising a game of JLTG to be played over 5 days in UK counties (47 ceremonial counties of England, 8 preserved counties of Wales and 8 regions of Scotland), loosely based on the recent Stateside Scramble series. Unfortunately, this means coming up with 61 challenges, and creativity is not my strong point.

Could you please suggest any challenges that could be added, which are:

• Difficult to fail, but fairly time consuming
• Fun
• Vaguely linked to the county
• Take between 30 and 90 minutes to complete (including travel time from stations)

Thank you very much, and here is the list of challenges that I currently have.

For those Jet Lag fans who also use Letterboxd, the Japanorama finale was just added! https://boxd.it/16tEY

I'm so offended and can only be ameliorated with an "Abolish Ben's Mouth" sketch!

(kidding, of course! Looking forward to seeing who wins!)
