    For almost the entire first half hour, I was CONVINCED that Adam was indeed south from the game start location on the end of the peninsula, and honestly if he was, with this sequence of questions it would have been so good for him

    • @NeunEinser
      @NeunEinser 13 дней назад +122

      Don't think so, the photo of tallest mountain question would have basically told them that the mountain situation look suspiciously similar to where they just started the day, and they would have asked different questions from that point onwards.

    • @Behamotezz
      @Behamotezz 13 дней назад +36

      He was in some serious mountains, so it could not have been that peninsula tip, also he was clearly very much inland and not anywhere near the ocean.

    • @K_D_S88
      @K_D_S88 13 дней назад +39

      It’s more so that right at the beginning they showed the clip of Sam saying something like “it would be incredibly unlikely that he went south from the start” which felt a perfect clip to include to flashback to when we learn he is indeed south, and then every question they asked ruled out more and more of the map and each time IT STILL could have been there, I wad like “no way, absolutely no way Adam did that”

    • @nattygo42
      @nattygo42 13 дней назад +32

      That was a mistake on his part, in my opinion. He SHOULD have gone south. He needed a HUGE gamble to get anywhere near the winning tune. If he had gone south, sure, there would have been a big risk of them figuring that out right away, and being able to pinpoint and get to him quickly on a small sliver of the map. But the reward if they didn't figure it out right away would have been them heading in the wrong direction and looking in the wrong area for several hours at least. And it turns out that's exactly what they did do. They were headed north before they even started asking him questions, and their initial questions would not have revealed the trick. I think Adam is too risk adverse as a player to have considered something like that, but even if he hadn't pulled it off, it would've been great content.

    • @thany3
      @thany3 12 дней назад +4

      That would be an collosal mistake, as there's only a single train going farther south and terminates in a dead end. A better option would be to head to the middle of the peninsula, for example to Shuzenji, but that too leaves no room for the seekers to overshoot the station, or take the wrong line.

      I agree that the cost may be too low. But it's still a clever mechanic in that jt is generally not useful until the hiding region has been narrowed down a lot (as others have said) + the fact that if you choose a denser area that's easier to hit with a radar you can probably choose a route with 90° turns only. I think hiding in a tiny featureless village would be OP if that tool was missing.

      @@Dead_Anteater I feel like the tentacles were added more to deal with Tokyo and other super dense cities. If someone picked that as their hiding zone narrowing them down is going to be a nightmare. The tentacles help narrow that down since they're for things you'd find in urban areas.
      So they've been less useless because no one has hid in a dense urban area.

      I always had that exact same thought. Others suggested just giving everyone 2 runs without a fixed time limit, but I always felt that would just be less exciting. Just making the last run extend beyond the games end time would ensure that the seekers have a motivation to find the hider until the very end and also give the runner after that the hope of maybe pulling of a winning run. I legit had this thought since Tag Season 1 and was surprised to never see anyone bring this idea up, but here it finally is ^^

      To be more precise: Japan’s first-level administration divisions are the 47 prefecture-level jurisdictions because the following are not named in “県” in Japanese kanji:
      1) Tokyo (東京都)
      2) Hokkaido (北海道)
      3) Kyoto (京都府) and Osaka (大阪府) Prefectures
      That’s why Japan has a specific term called “都道府県” to refer all the 47 prefecture-level jurisdictions.

      I feel like a good strategy for the seekers would be to ask a photo question like 'photo of the tallest building from the station' while you're about 10-15 minutes away from the end game station, assuming you already know it from Strava map or something, just to force them out of their hiding spot and potentially drag them closer to the station.

    This is the best version of curses / questions systems so far and Hide-and-Seek has definitely been the most enjoyable genre for me. That being said, there are some necessary changes imo:
    1. Allow runners to change strava map rotation, so it's not just scanning maps but is still useful
    2. Increase distance from the road, so that the hider can actually hide
    3. less time bonuses, more curses. I feel like either changing the time bonus system or reducing the amount would be great, as they aren't really fun to watch and are pretty much completely luck based.

      reason why they so many-time bonuses is because they were initially considering putting in blank cards because they didn’t want questions to be very expensive but they still wanted some random chance and they didn’t want a coin system or a dice systems
      So the compromise was the cards are currency so they had to include some “blank cards”

Additionally, the fact that it can confirm the exact location from anywhere where other photos in the category will generally only confirm the location when you are there sets it apart from its category which should be the least powerful category.

    Adam having a rough time with card pulls and then silently seething is such a highlight of my day today; thank you

    Best content hands down. They choose the best places and the game is always so well designed. Can't wait to see where they go next!

      Every one divisible by 2 +1 is either hide and seek or tag across europe (except seasons 5 and 1)

    Adam was so freakishly unhinged this episode.
    I think he is finally getting "jet lag"

    Out of all the times they've said "this is not scripted", Sam pulling the overpowered move card is the first time I have actual doubts about a move being scripted in jetlag.

      Fun fact; on their podcast, they Sam even mentioned that as soon as he drew the move, as the first card of the last run, he knew people would accuse them of scripting the show xD
