    For future iterations of this game I think that:

    - Curses should be bought like questions and not be decided by dice.

    This is my favorite Jet Lag season. It has a perfect balance of luck and skill. I didn't know who would win until the very last episode, which made the entire season intense and suspenseful. Also, Switzerland is beautiful. If anyone from jet lag is reading this, please consider doing this season again like the tag one! I would suggest making the game longer though, this way it's more episodes (5 was to short) and that way everyone gets an equal amount of runs. Maybe even make the game end when everyone gets two runs rather than after a certain amount of time.

      Fully agree. Some tweaks to the scoring and curses system may be needed, but overall this feels like one of the strongest concepts. Though it does rely heavily on a dense train/transport network with tight timings, so aside from Switzerland, not many countries or regions might be suited for this format. It could possibly be scaled down and adapted to a size playable in a major city or metropolitan area.

      1) It’s not possible to get a work visa and filming permit for a country without knowing beforehand how long you intend to be there. Having a vague idea isn’t good enough. You need a time limit on the game.
      2) Giving each player the same number of runs gives too much of an advantage to the player going last. They would have learned optimal strategies for their runs based on watching the first two, and at no downside.
      3) As per The Layover, the order was chosen randomly. So any advantage or disadvantage given to any given position is purely up to chance.

    I enjoyed this season and think hide and seek has the potential to be the best game that they've played. However, IMO the format needs some tweaks. Ultimately there were only four turns, two of the players only got one attempt, and a lot of time was spent just aimlessly wandering around. I think either the entire game should be made longer or each turn is sped up by having more powerful questions (perhaps better ones unlocking after certain time points?). I would also make it so that the winner is whoever has the most cumulative time rather than the best single run (combined with the above allowing for more turns) so that everyone is more strategic. For example, whether to spend coins or save them for later.

      I agree that they should try to make it a bit more fair, but i’d guess that it‘s hard to schedule it like this. They likely have fixed schedules to produce N number of games each year. With each of them having multiple rounds with unlimited time it could be more than a week to film and booking expenses for spontaneous flights etc. are higher aswell. it‘s doable, but with higher costs and much more time.

  • @thesunwillneverset
    @thesunwillneverset Месяц назад +231

    I think Adam's victory is a brilliant demonstration of what I like to call the Tube Map Effect! Essentially, via train maps, two points in space can be made to appear much further apart than they actually are.
    If the time taken to *walk* between the two points (slower form of transport on paper) is *less* than the time taken to get between them by *train* (faster mode of transport on paper), due to a non-direct train line, then the difference in perceived minimum travel time (on the assumption that one should always opt for the faster mode of transport) can cause significant issues.
    I call it the Tube Map Effect, because it's also a problem in London created by the abstract distance scale of the map of the London Underground (aka the 'Tube'). Two stations appear further apart than they actually are, leading to crowded trains when walking would be faster. It's why walking routes between close stations were *added* to the Tube Map. For more on this, I'd recommend Jay Foreman's YT series 'Unfinished London' :)

    Absolutely loved this season. Signed up to Nebula last week because I couldn't wait to see the finale. Absolutely my favourite so far! If I could make one small criticism ***SPOILERS FOLLOW*** it's that the ending felt like a bit of an anti-climax. The fact the game ended with a tick of the clock and not with Adam /actually/ being found just felt a little... unsatisfying. And with all those unspent coins Adam had saved up. Just wish you could have carried on to see what Adam's final time would have been and all your reactions to finally tracking him down. Other than that though, a fantastic season!

      The problem with waiting until they find him is that they basically had given up and I don't think they would have found him for a day.
      In my opinion it would have been a good idea for Sam and Ben to come to Adam in the end so they can speculate how he got there on their way to him and they actually meet in his hiding spot like in the other cases (where the hider was caught). I would have made for a "natural" meeting instead of having to lampshade it at the airport.

You could say 'ok since you won any curse work excluding moving to a new location' and we can see him roll and maybe it would be 'oh he would have moved, that's crazy' etc
      He should have used the curses when they were on the way east to the 'final line' because they weren't going the right way and that would have made them think they were, don't stop playing because you won! Play as if this was day one.
      And again - allow 2 runs each no matter the time, would have been so much more exciting to see that.

    I liked the general idea for this season. It meant that it was not about catching trains or planes the whole time, but actually look at what's around you to either find a hiding spot OR to find where the person has hidden themselves. However, for future iterations I would propose the following changes:
    1) Instead of someone hiding, just make the goal a specific location that has to be found out. This way, the hider doesn't need to wait for hours. To make this work, a photo has to be taken from a certain spot that the other person must find (more about that later). The advantage is that this way, ALL three of you can search at the same time. For example, Sam looks for Adam's spot, Adam's for Ben's and Ben's for Sam's with the potential of switching in round two. This also means, you don't have to find the perfect hiding spot. You can even ask photo questions, these photos just have to be taken the moment the spot is decided.
    2). Instead of curses, do the normal challenges again. These usually help to show a bit of the surrounding area. This time, since it was the best move to save up for a while, often only one challenge was done during the whole round. With the normal challenges, you can earn coins to buy the information and you can balance it in a way that several challenges have to be done.
    So how would the new version work? Like before, everyone starts at a certain location and has a set time limit to find a specific spot. After that spot is found, all the photos for the questions are made together with a "revealing photo" that makes it clear where you are (so no hiding somewhere in the woods). You all meet again at the next day at the same starting spot and everyone has the day to find the hidden spot of the other person. The winner being the one who takes the least amount of time. You can get information by buying them through coins you got from challenges (maybe you can set a limit to how many challenges are allowed in every location so that the start is not everyone just doing challenges for one hour before thinking where even to go). The only hint for the location is the "reveal photo" but in the beginning it's zoomed in. Later, when you think you have the location, you can use coins to zoom out again, which makes these the precision questions.
    I think this way you avoid someone waiting for hours in a location (with curses being the only interactable action) while also keeping it interesting since everyone tries to do it at the same time. Also, if you want to, you can even make this a scavenger hunt like scenario, where you follow a trail through different cities (so the questions first lead you to the next city in the scavenger hunt) because then you had a reason to stop at different places to make challenges as well.

    • @HopUpOutDaBed
      @HopUpOutDaBed Месяц назад +21

      yeah this season was fun but definitely flawed. Not enough challenges, and the hiders were incentivized to be tricky which kind of spoiled the detective aspect of it all. I don't blame Sam for hiding in the woods if that's what he thought was his best shot at winning, but if part of the reason they couldn't pinpoint him is just the fact that google maps doesn't show the road he's closest to without zooming in rather than a flaw in their questioning, then it kind of ruins the point of the questions. Same with adam's final hiding spot.

      @clarkkent7049 Месяц назад +3

      I think the curses are fine the only flaw is they start to get good too high like throughout this game the most you could get if you saved up the entire round was 3-4 dice and the challenges didn’t start getting good until you rolled a 13 or higher meaning you either need a 4 4 and a 5 or a 3 3 3 and 4 to get a decent roll after saving up the entire game so if they start lower or have the questions give the hider more coins meaning more dice it would be better

    Loved this season, I watched it on Nebula + The Layover first then re-watched it with a friend on RUclips.
    I found it interesting that you mentioned you were worried about having less of a challenge focus and I believe you referred to the challenges as a big part of the "content"... But personally I always found the challenges to be in a way the least interesting parts of the different seasons.
    It is not that the challenges you come up with are bad, but to me they are but a distraction set to delay/hinder you from the actual game progression. To me, the most interesting parts and why I love this show are the strategy/planning and then the general interactions and banter between the cast. I do love the way you design these games and the challenges are included in that, but I personally do not see them as a core of what makes Jet Lag so good.
    Either way, I look forward to the next series as always, and hope you can continue to keep doing this for as long as it is fun for you. Even redoing previous games/series would be perfectly fine to me as I am sure you would find ways to make it a different enough adventure to follow.

      The one thing I miss about watching on Nebula is not having comments until the video comes out on RUclips

      @@emmanotsostrong There is a reddit thread under every nebula episode, which is basically a comment section too. It's pretty cool.

    Jet Lagged concept :
    So you have. 3+ teams of 2 that are confined, as usual, to a specific boundary (country, state, idk- up to yall). Each team receives the same list of tasks that need to be completed to win. Teams may complete these in any order and sabatouge other teams.
    I feel like this would be cool to see different strategies unfold and how teams sabotage each other

    So glad to see Ben standing up to Sam whenever Sam gets one of his "I know I'm right no discussion" moments

    We need another one in Switzerland. Maybe like everyone has 3 tries to get the longest time. This was by far my favorite Jetlag season.❤

    It's sad this has come to an end, but smile because it happened, don't be sad because it's over. Adam actually won the series! Amazing 🥳

    What a fantastic example of editing keeping it exiting. With the Utzenstorf twist.
    I love this show so much :)
