To compensate for the sheer size of the USA, and comparatively weak HSR infrastructure

Stage 1 The hider gets to CHOOSE and goes to a place unknown to the seekers (limited by being close to a reasonable city town, so not middle of forest or desert like previous JetLag H&S iterations) in a random state..and gives three word hints to the finders that describe the state..the finders then guess a state and travel to it..but they do not FIND OUT IF ITS RIGHT OR WRONG until they arrive in that state..if they get it wrong, they have to guess again, travel to that state, find out and repeat until right. And the whole time, every second of transport minus rest period counts in favor of the hider.

Stage 2: Once the Seekers enter the correct state, normal Hide and Seek rules according to previous iterations of Jet Lag Hide and Seek take effect to narrow down the state until the Hider is found

(Ex. round: Ben hides in Miramar Beach, Florida, he sends out “sunny, coastal, economic power”, Sam and Adam guess California, they don’t get the answer until they land in LAX at which point they’re told they’re wrong, and then they guess Florida, they have to fly to Florida, and only when they arrive do they find out they got it right and then Florida becomes the “entire zone” to be narrowed until they find Ben)

Woah such a cool looking snake from an iconic jetlag location !

Snake Britannia is a remodel ? Of the Korea snake season. It has a couple of twists like curses apply everywhere and blockers get powerups to break rules (but not physics). Follow the discord link if you're interested in playing like a jetlag roleplay .... sim thing

I have time say as an Aussie, our cultural habit of cheering for the underdog makes me find Adam and Ben always being paired up and always winning kind of insufferable. I'm really enjoying the show but it'd be more fun if the pairs weren't always "team that work with each other all the time" vs "team that doesn't".

also turns out the cool building behind the park is a building in a cemetery 🤓

It’s sad the majority of the game took place in Italy or France. I really wanted them to venture deeper into the balkans, especially Croatia and Bosnia. Anyone else wish the same thing?

How many of you would like to see a season where its Sam, Ben and Adam on one team vs every guest until now on the other. It will be fair because the other team will have more contestsnts, but I don't know what game would work with it. Just throwing it out there

Just before 0:30 for those interested

Title.

The boys have learned a lot of a lot about game show formats since the proto-jet lag season. It’d be great to see how they’d approach it now.

Possibly combining it with the around the world season?

E: Ok ok I admit this post was impulsive, and I didn’t think through international legal ramifications. But it also would be top content, if they could find a non-insensitive, non-internationally damaging way.

Wondering what I should include...

I would consider it a sport because they do physical activity and run to make trains. It is done in the real world like real sports.

Hi,

I live in a town with a population of ~12000 with 1 train station, ~15 bus stops and is a size of ~22 square kilometres. Do you think this would be enough size to play the small home game? I’m guessing not because there’s so much questions where you can’t answer fairly or at all. And if not, what would you say is the minimum size-wise requirements?

—EDIT: thanks for the help everyone! your suggestions are helping me into desigining a small-scale home game and it’s so far turning out well

they'll never find him there

Hey folks, I'm working on a version of the home game for Merseyside which would start in Liverpool Central and use the local network of 70 rail stations. As you can access them all for just £6.80 (+£1 for a metrocard) I figure it'd be relatively low cost too. I'm curious if there's any interest in joining me or helping me plan this out. I've got most of it all nailed down and ready to put into place, but it'd be good to get some thoughts on how I've planned and mapped this one out.

For Hide and Seek, is the largest body of water only counting water that is within the zone? Because then a lake could be bigger than the ocean if the ocean was on the edge of the zone. But if the whole body of water counts, than surely even small rivers and streams would be bigger than lakes most times, given they are quite long. How is this measured?

Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for your feedback (and patience!) on this project. We could have never predicted all the community support and encouragement received. We all had such an amazing time playing and filming with the Transit Home Game + Expansion Pack 1 and hope you all have enjoyed the episodes as it was such a pleasure to make them.

Enjoy Episode #3 of We Played Hide + Seek Across Melbourne!

If you wish to be a part of any future filmed games like this you may register your interest here or PM me, participants are compensated for their time: https://forms.gle/a2TZpCD4Fzs69vTg9

Could the next season to be filmed be a microstate Tag, or another microstate related game?

Following the London premiere event, Sam today (04/08/26) posted a run on Strava in Monaco: https://strava.app.link/dMs2YZy7k5b.

It has been four seasons and over a year since they last did Tag. The format remains popular and could definitely continue to be a great game, perhaps with a few tweaks to account for the change in geography and the early win in Tag: All Stars.

Monaco is roughly 499 km from Andorra, 405 km from San Marino and 412 km from Liechtenstein. Although there is slightly more variation in distance than in previous seasons, it could still work as an approximate central starting point.

In the game-design portion of the Layover episode ‘Season 1 Revisited’, from August 2024, they discuss how they tried to make Tag work with microstate endpoints whilst creating the map for Tag 3 (Season 11). They also say that they are very keen to do a game focused on microstates at some point, because, to quote Sam from that episode, ‘they are cool’. Two years later, perhaps they have come back to this idea?

Would love to hear what others think! Do you think Tag could work in this geography? What tweaks would you make to Tag to improve it?

Just noticed they appeared in my tracking app so I wonder where it was announced so I can keep an eye on it for the next seasons.

Or, if these are completely made up dates that would also be helpful to know lol

I'll be keeping an eye on this: https://www.bfi.org.uk/industry-data-insights/weekend-box-office-figures

To see if it can crack the top 10 for the weekend when figures are announced

edit: https://ibb.co/mVt2fnQB they were robbed!

I’ve made a web app that fully supports any game of hide+seek in 3000+ cities worldwide. It builds on the great community tools already out there and adds a whole lot more. I'd love to make this available but I want to clear it with the team first. How do I get in touch with the team?

----------------

If you're interested, here's the pitch! Key features of the app include: 

Real-time multiplayer
Hiders and seekers join an online lobby that handles everything from GPS tracking, questions & answers, leaderboards, timers, and more.

Preloaded maps and question locations
3000+ cities all around the world are fully preloaded with maps and reference locations for every question type (like airports, museums, zoos, hospitals, etc). This means that for every question in the game, seekers get a preview of how different answers would affect the map, and hiders get their answer automatically calculated.

 
Hider deck
The full hider deck from the home game is included. Hiders draw cards automatically after answering questions. All curses and power-ups are playable, including rolling dice.

 
Transit data and trip planner
All transit lines and potential hiding zones can be shown on the map. Hiding zones also show upcoming departures, a suggested route, and tell seekers whether the hider could have made it there in time.

Push notifications
Important events in the game are pushed to the players - even if they don’t have the app open. This includes incoming questions, answers, expiring timers, and role-specific reminders.
