"the problem is that if we whiffed massively this will all probably be edited down massively cause it's gonna be really boring" "since this next part is really boring" ben and adam's editing is on point
@@mariapizzaa this is the kind of winterwear that is certainly made from an outdoor designed fabric that is easily wipeable and is stain proof. Also good European soap is surprisingly effective at dirt removal.
@@atesemireltutar6661 A shame he didn't get to spend them, would've loved seeing a high level curse just for fun. I mean, Adam still could have rolled a curse at the 9-hour mark or so when they reasonably wouldn't get to him anyway.
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.
I'm sure they're planning on doing it again. They know it's been extremely well received. They've talked about it on the podcast. They'd be stupid not to revisit, and they're not stupid.
@@sweetsalt201 Yes, but it's ok. They knew that going in. There's no way to make it perfectly balanced. The first hider is always going to have less experience than the last hider, even if they did 2 runs, and they're not going to play Hide and Seek 6-7 days in a row. That's too taxing on them.
Ben winning Tag 2 through a combination of dumb luck and wacky hijinks felt perfect for him, and now Adam winning Hide and Seek thanks to his incredible speed feels perfect for him too. Now we just need Sam to win a solo game through an incredibly convoluted high-risk plan to complete the trifecta.
I did not imagine that Adam would get anywhere close to Ben's hiding time. The seekers had cut down so much of area but still couldn't figure out where he was hiding. Adam strategized it so well he deserved the victory!🙌🏻
@@TheBreakaway88that’s a dumb argument though because although his first attempt had no experience his 2nd had the most out of any attempt so he got the best attempt and the most attempts
@@FerdinandKeppelit’s based on the amount of days not rounds. if they would’ve found him they could’ve gotten another run. that’s just the game buddy 🤷♀️
@@TheBreakaway88But that first run also had the advantage of starting at a central location and controlling where the next player would start from, giving him a lot of possibilities and allowing him to restrict the next person’s options which balances the disadvantage of less experience. (And to be fair the seekers for that round also had less experience too)
For future iterations of this game I think that: - Everyone deserves 2 tries as the hider - Curses should be bought like questions and not be decided by dice.
I would also love if one of the curses you could buy would be for an extortionate amount of money you can buy the ability to lie or avoid any question. Imagine the mind games if once you got to a specific amount of coins the seekers had to question every question you answer.
I would agree had Adam not so thoroughly stumped them here. No curses, no chance. I honestly don't think they would have found him that day if they still had another run in them.
the randomness is one of the feature that makes it a bit more balanced. the problem is that sam got horrendous luck and that early bonus sucks for late game. Something like "dice class" with like early game bonus middle game bonus and late games one.
1. Yeah, two tries for each would be a bit more fair. 2. Curses still have dice option, or they can select specific curses, but they have to pay A LOT more for them.
I really like the redemption arc. During his first try, Adam seemed to do the basic stuff, no twists, no trying to send them the other way, and now he just made the most misleading move of the whole season and won.
In future season, I think everyone should get the same number of rounds, as it will make things more fun for the viewer, and also more fair for those that go last (Sam in this case).
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 think we all wanted this season to be longer, but I actually think that the seekers could affect how much time they had to later hide by employing the right strategy to find the hider quicker.
Ben and Sam all but surrendering and deciding to just spam the most annoying curses in the deck was the most unexpectedly hilarious thing of this season.
@@raineob4996 yeah often they play hyperstrategically to minimize giving advantages to their opponent and maximize their own chances to win. It's logical of course but their channel is also there for our entertainment, and sometimes what makes for the most entertaining moments is to use the mechanics of the game to their full potential
My favorite season so far. It just feels like there are still endless possibilities of how it could go. We barely got to see any of the curses and definitely not all strategies with the questions and hiding spots. So I would love to just see more of this.
yep, the only reason I didn't root for Sam is because then it shortens the game, basically, since he'd only have to hold out another couple of hours after that to deny Adam a 2nd run and win on the spot. But yeah, otherwise I'd have rooted for him too, despite usually being adamantly team Adam/Ben instead. It was very entertaining to see all the different strategies. Hopefully we get another version in a different location and more refined and balanced rules
I can't believe that Adam won because Ben and Sam didn't consider that he's a madlad who would run to a different municipality when trains couldn't get him there, Marshall Eriksen style.
Aw, man. UA-cam really didn’t design their comment section on mobile very well. This was literally the first comment that popped up when I clicked the video. Instant spoiler. Unavoidable on mobile.
@@StellaTZHmy main problem with the comments preview was always "if the top comment is a spoiler you can't avoid it" but now it can be "any comment can be a spoiler you can't avoid" and also even on non spoilery things it's like "oh that's an interesting comment I have to find to actually read"
Yeah, this was the second comment that popped up for me 🥲 I’m more okay with spoilers, but I can totally see why this can be pretty upsetting since the video was just released
I am from Switzerland and I simply cannot believe that you actually went to my hometown, Solothurn, of all the places in Switzerland! This is great :D insane to imagine that The Jet Lag Crew was a couple of (hundred) meters away from you at some point. At your hometown XD
Let’s go, finally an Australian season! I always thought my home country would be a great place for jet lag with all the different climates and the size of Australia! Looking forward to the season :)
I think its going to be a race to cycle Australia since the transport is concentrated around coastline. So they probably begin in sydney and have to race to Sydney back again.
@@MutantMonke Maybe, although Uluṟu was included in the teaser if I’m not mistaken and that’s like smack dab in the middle of Australia. Could be a NZ style game with challenges in each area though Edit; never mind no Uluṟu but still very Central Australia looking areas. Not sure though lol
I feel like all teams should have had an ability to hide twice. Adam got a HUGE advantage of going twice ontop of the fact on his second run he had the most experience out of everyone.
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.
Yeah, I really like the way they have to strategically use resources to narrow down the area. The only "issue" this time around was the curses. At no point did we see any curse that had a meaningful impact on the game. It was just sort of a looming threat where the seekers wanted to avoid.
Adam having the castle in the background when explaining his strategy, a couple of minutes before Sam and Ben got on (and then off) the train to Thun, was pretty hilarious when you have the ability to pause and google Swiss castles.
Thank you so much for putting in the effort to make/get proper subtitles for these videos! Although I am not hard of hearing, I like being able to use subtitles a lot!
I feel like it’s a tough balance bc if you go last, you have the advantage of seeing two rounds from a seeker perspective first and that might help in your run (whereas Adam just went in blind the first time). So I can understand why they just made it a time limit
@@ShivNC I can see your point but it felt so unfair for Ben and Sam that Adam got to go twice. And I'd say after one round each, everyone will have collected enough experience for a second round to be fair. Hopefully next time they'll make it 2 rounds for everyone Bonus points for us cause more episodes :D
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.
I’m looking to forward to seeing the next season in Australia, my home country. It’ll be interesting to see what they do considering how massive the place is. Loved this season btw, keep it up.
@@MTP311 As someone from Perth, I fear you're probably right. They won't come here. And as someone who just spent a year in western Switzerland, they didn't go there either. So close, and yet so far.
Most of the people live in a couple cities on the east and south coast, with very few on the west coast. The rest of the country is basically too sparsely populated, there are stretches of road where you don't see anyone for hundreds of kilometres
Y'all should really make Jet Lag a physical board game to sell to us fans or at Target. Imagine drawing "event cards" where you get a flight delay, or a cooperative check in clerk to let you board flights early and all that stuff. And the challenges could be something that you can do in your own home. That would be super cool and you guys have absolutely killer graphic designers so you can definitely make it happen.
No way. and I already thought Ben did an awsome move in his run, but Adam is the master of bending the rules without breaking them. capeau. that was the most terrific season you ever made. plz come back tu europe, soon
Nah too much Europe. Try Southeast Asia or something. They've got good public metros and much more diversity across the countries. Unique + definitely can switch up the modes of transportation. If they had the budget for round the world, Southeast Asia is literally cheaper than Eurail lol.
I wonder how long that discussion between Sam and Ben about what the “half-Lyme-disease-tick-bite-arm-fell-off” shape of the remaining map looked like went on after that cut 😂😂😂😂
I don't understand how this show is so underrated when the amount of effort, planning, production and incredible content goes into it!! You guys are all so talented, I would never get tired of rewatching all episodes ❤️
The editing of these videos are always amazing, weither its just hilarious cuts or just genuine animation(like the map and stuff for example), its always good
Structurally, this wasn't my favorite season, of only because it felt more passive (especially for the hider, who ends up potentially just having to wait)-but this last episode absolutely clutched it up for me. Adam's big brain is a menace and a pleasure to watch play out.
I think this was the least 'fun' for them lol. I think they had an off-screen agreement not to hide in a big city too. But yea, this one was just a trek without much attachment to the actual towns. They could genuinely be named XYZ or something (well, aside for the rhyming game). I had hoped for some thematic play about the languages of the cantons, or some region-specific games (no the whichever political party switched isn't it).
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!
But adam would have waited for at least a couple of hours more, just to already know that he has won the game. Realistically sam and ben had no chance to find him on the same day
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. But I guess they didn't have time to do that
I agree... guys you seem to be forgetting this isn't the amazing race, it doesn't matter that he already won there's no prize - for content sake keep going, and be aggressive with coin spend! you messed up? bomb with radars, bomb with longitude! 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.
nah for me it felt like a great climax because it was completely unexpected to the viewer as well. Like we couldn't know that he was completely elsewhere in an area they ruled out. It would have been fun if they did eventually find him but yeah, you'd definitely need longer time limits for that. They didn't even get to the end game, honestly think it couldve taken them over half of the next day too, they were clueless
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' :)
this also exists in singapore just slightly differently, with rochor and jalan besar stations being 9 stops apart, but only a 5 minute walk between them.
This hide and seek game has been my first exposure to your videos, and I'm enthralled. The plays and outplays in this format were incredible and I can't wait to see more!
Loved this season (even though it was quite short)!! The way they just kept upping their game was fantastic. Congrats Adam! Suuuper keen for Australia as an Aussie myself!! 😍😍
Really enjoyed this one, thank you! I particularly appreciated that since the hider has to stay in his location for a while, we get to actually see a little bit of the place! If I have had an objection to some previous seasons - like the NZ one - it was that the focus on zooming onwards came at the expense of actually seeing all the interesting things NZ has to offer.
I think this has been my favorite season of Jetlag. Like no other season, has each following runner come up with even more new and inventive and difficult to track down strategies. Seeing the game become more advanced as it went on was super fun! I hope they do another season of hide and seek in the future like they did with tag, maybe somewhere like Ireland, Portugal, or the Nile Delta!
By complete coincidence, this is the third season in a row where I’ve been at their exact locations at the exact same time. 🤯 Maybe next time I’ll see them.
Honestly, I’d watch a screen recording video of their phones while they’re doing their research hahahahha i wanna see how their brain works with this!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!
Loved this season, I watched it on Nebula + The Layover first then re-watched it with a friend on UA-cam. 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 jet lag guys should come to the UK. Put them through the pain of the UK train system. It would make for a great watch! (try it on a strike day, would be fun entertainment)
Congrats Adam!! Rahhh I'm so torn because this is SUCH a deserved win with such a good strategy, but at the same time i enjoyed ben's run so thoroughly that i was genuinely hoping he'd win. But it's okay, Ben gets to be the winner,,, in my heart
@@ramoncuellar9891 No he didn't 'spoil' it for you, in the same way that going to Wikipedia on an already released movie and seeing the plot makes you 'hate' the writers.

this season has been so incredible, all the suspense, the strats, the design - everything was incredible and i had such a great time watching it. can't believe next season is the 10th season already, jet lag is genuinely one of the only youtube series i watch religiously and i wouldnnt change it for the world. thank u sm to ben, adam and sam for continously giving us such amazing content, we love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
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.
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.
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
This is such a good idea! They could call it a treasure hunt. Each of them sets the location and they race for who finds one first. They could even do a free-for-all where each seeker can go for both the treasures the other two set up. I'm sure the boys will do something like that in future seasons!
@@HopUpOutDaBedYes but sam always tries to bend the game rules just enough to do some wanky move every season. That is also part of the game. - finding loopholes to exploit. Still your point is right since the loopholes are in the rules they designed.
@@TarunoNafs Why are you in the comments if you haven't finished? You will most definitely get spoiled. Every second comment is a spoiler. If you're stupid enough to be down here, that's on you bud.
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
Is that true? The walking distance between the two train stations is 2,6 km or 1,6 miles. Half of it has to be covered, which is more than a walk, but also no high running speed.
@@raineob4996no, he just has to get within range of the train station and into his hiding zone. He can get to his hiding spot after the hiding time has finished as long as its within the zone
I had no idea this channel existed, and that's despite being subscribed to everything Sam does already other than this. Ludwig watched one episode of this and immediately I fell in love, subscribed, and have binge watched every video this week.
I watched tou series a couple of days ago. I was like funny, intresting but i treated it as entertainment mostly. I was watching something else abot Switzerland today and the guys was talking about Zurich, Basile and other towns. I was like "wait a minute i know exactly where they are in the Switzerland". I was never good with geography but you made me learn and have fun. Thank you guys!
Yea. Also the fact that the seekers thought about two towns covered by the hiding zone theory. If that was what actually happened that would be an insane misdirect.
I am very happy and a bit proud that Adam finally win and endling the Game in Steffisburg my Hometown to funny, but i am exited for the next Season. 🎉❤😂 Good Job
THank you guys for some amazing weeks. This turned out to be the best thing I seen this year. I appreciate the hide and seek. Hope to see more hide and seek like this in the future. Very entertaining and very fun. And you got a subscriber. So thank you so much for entertaining me every Friday now for the past few weeks.
13:27 i think they really messed up here. What they should have done in my opinion is continue the strategy that Ben and Adam used to find sam, i.e the Eliminate half of all options every question sort of strategy. Cuz really instead of hedging bets on individual towns, you really just NEED to eliminate with 100% surety rhe possible hiding area. For instance if they had bought the latitude question as well, this would have led them to Adam MUCH quicker than they did here. In which they ended up sidetracking all over the place chasing tenuous leads, when frankly they just needed to eliminate the search area. I just think the Strategy of Narrowing down the search area difinitevely is the way go in these games, until you are left with only 2-3 possible towns. It seems to me thats the best most efficient strategy. And hey it clearly worked really well when Ben and Adam used it to find Sam.
Easily the best season yet imo. I actually loved that it didnt involve challenges, which I think can feel a bit same-y and generally get in the way of the interesting parts (strategy + mind-games). Need to do a season 2, perhaps with some tweaks (hiding in the woods seems so unfair hahaha)
I looked down at my phone and looked up right at the shot of the Brisbane sign and GASPED. JET LAG WAS HERE?? IN MY STATE???? AAHH I'm very excited AND congrats to Adam of course lol
This was a very good season, that managed to keep me very interested the whole time! Adam did a great job! Congratulations, that was so smart of you!!!! You definitely need to do another one in this format! Also you should make a season in which you go to Poland! We also have lots of trains and I would love to see you doing Jet Lag in my country!
Adam going to a castle in both his runs is a perfect representation of his personality

didnt see it either lol?
@@denzy3929 20:30 is probably what he's talking about

Sprinting to another train station is so genius. They were even on the right track with the whole double train station zone theory.
This might be the most galaxy brain play ever on this show.
right Idea... just didn't think, what if we missed other stops because of this? (at least didn't show it)

@@atesemireltutar6661 A shame he didn't get to spend them, would've loved seeing a high level curse just for fun. I mean, Adam still could have rolled a curse at the 9-hour mark or so when they reasonably wouldn't get to him anyway.
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.
Exactly. I tought there was no way anyone would top Ben, then Sam got way closer than expected last episode. I've been in suspense ever since
I'm sure they're planning on doing it again. They know it's been extremely well received. They've talked about it on the podcast. They'd be stupid not to revisit, and they're not stupid.
It’s probably not my favorite season overall (Japan and NZ were pretty great), but it may be my favorite ending.
But it was not balanced at all. Getting two runs vs one run was what made the winner. His first run was such a fail
@@sweetsalt201 Yes, but it's ok. They knew that going in. There's no way to make it perfectly balanced. The first hider is always going to have less experience than the last hider, even if they did 2 runs, and they're not going to play Hide and Seek 6-7 days in a row. That's too taxing on them.

@@TheBreakaway88that’s a dumb argument though because although his first attempt had no experience his 2nd had the most out of any attempt so he got the best attempt and the most attempts
@@FerdinandKeppelit’s based on the amount of days not rounds. if they would’ve found him they could’ve gotten another run. that’s just the game buddy 🤷♀️
@@TheBreakaway88But that first run also had the advantage of starting at a central location and controlling where the next player would start from, giving him a lot of possibilities and allowing him to restrict the next person’s options which balances the disadvantage of less experience. (And to be fair the seekers for that round also had less experience too)
This season was way too short, we want more!
Next time we went at least 7 episodes.
Yeah this was so fun!
30 days hide and seek across the world 💀🔥🗣🗣🗣
I think it was because they cut out a lot of the stretches where they were going back and forth in the short game.
@@theyaresosigma That would be completely insane. That´s why I love your idea!
Adam running like a madman is easily the biggest sign of strength and strategy I have seen him do. He's literally a master strategist at this rate.
From Season 1 with the disguises haha. Love the dude lol. Also that kinda parent-child dynamic with Ben.
For future iterations of this game I think that:
- Everyone deserves 2 tries as the hider
- Curses should be bought like questions and not be decided by dice.
I would also love if one of the curses you could buy would be for an extortionate amount of money you can buy the ability to lie or avoid any question. Imagine the mind games if once you got to a specific amount of coins the seekers had to question every question you answer.
I would agree had Adam not so thoroughly stumped them here. No curses, no chance. I honestly don't think they would have found him that day if they still had another run in them.
First one yes, second one no imo
the randomness is one of the feature that makes it a bit more balanced. the problem is that sam got horrendous luck and that early bonus sucks for late game. Something like "dice class" with like early game bonus middle game bonus and late games one.
1. Yeah, two tries for each would be a bit more fair.
2. Curses still have dice option, or they can select specific curses, but they have to pay A LOT more for them.
I really like the redemption arc. During his first try, Adam seemed to do the basic stuff, no twists, no trying to send them the other way, and now he just made the most misleading move of the whole season and won.
In future season, I think everyone should get the same number of rounds, as it will make things more fun for the viewer, and also more fair for those that go last (Sam in this case).
Yes I agree. The show is already great though
I think they originally intended to.
They did think the hiding runs would be shorter, for sure.
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 think we all wanted this season to be longer, but I actually think that the seekers could affect how much time they had to later hide by employing the right strategy to find the hider quicker.
29:59 "yeah fuck it make him run" that is the funniest shit i have heard in a long timd
reminded me of: "wanna make Scoty run sideways?"
Most memorable line of all Jetlag seasons. The exceded deadpan tone made it
Ben and Sam all but surrendering and deciding to just spam the most annoying curses in the deck was the most unexpectedly hilarious thing of this season.
@@raineob4996 yeah often they play hyperstrategically to minimize giving advantages to their opponent and maximize their own chances to win. It's logical of course but their channel is also there for our entertainment, and sometimes what makes for the most entertaining moments is to use the mechanics of the game to their full potential
Shame he didn't curse them with all his coins just out of spite, and even making them think he's close
Shoutout to 16:30's montage. That Switzerland flag color inversion into the red X was smooooooooth
I agree, also the sound effect and cuts of the seekers researching make it even better!
The flag to X, just amazing design and animation choice. Good job to the Jet lag team!🎉
wtf seeing your name in here took me back. it's the spot the hacker guy.
did not expect to see you here LOL what a small world
Usually I'm focused on the gameplay, but the icing on the cake is this kind of attention to the motion graphics.
My favorite season so far. It just feels like there are still endless possibilities of how it could go. We barely got to see any of the curses and definitely not all strategies with the questions and hiding spots. So I would love to just see more of this.
This season was so fun because I found myself always rooting for the person hiding. I just want to see their big brain plays pay off
I had the same thing... Although for some reason, I root less for Sam 😂
@@jojoknight same!!! I don't know why
It was interesting that the person hiding actually got a good break for all except Adam's first run.
@@jojoknight @NetheriteBunny He's a bit smug and a bit of a know-it-all lol. But hey it's his company.
yep, the only reason I didn't root for Sam is because then it shortens the game, basically, since he'd only have to hold out another couple of hours after that to deny Adam a 2nd run and win on the spot. But yeah, otherwise I'd have rooted for him too, despite usually being adamantly team Adam/Ben instead. It was very entertaining to see all the different strategies. Hopefully we get another version in a different location and more refined and balanced rules
I can't believe that Adam won because Ben and Sam didn't consider that he's a madlad who would run to a different municipality when trains couldn't get him there, Marshall Eriksen style.
Adam vs the machines 😂

@@carkawalakhatulistiwa6:30ish mile pace while carrying a (presumably) heavy backpack is impressively fast
30:56 Best ' *what* ' reaction by Sam ever - the pitch and intonation just makes this hilarious
Let’s go, finally an Australian season! I always thought my home country would be a great place for jet lag with all the different climates and the size of Australia! Looking forward to the season :)
I just going to speend spefic segement looking for stuff in my hometown including myself, can't wait.
with just two trains a day between Sydney and Melbourne it would probably be quite a boring game...
I think its going to be a race to cycle Australia since the transport is concentrated around coastline. So they probably begin in sydney and have to race to Sydney back again.
@@MutantMonke Maybe, although Uluṟu was included in the teaser if I’m not mistaken and that’s like smack dab in the middle of Australia. Could be a NZ style game with challenges in each area though
Edit; never mind no Uluṟu but still very Central Australia looking areas. Not sure though lol
I feel like all teams should have had an ability to hide twice. Adam got a HUGE advantage of going twice ontop of the fact on his second run he had the most experience out of everyone.
I REALLY HOPE this concept gets used again soon. This is one of the best game concepts imo and love the strategy for the seekers
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.
Yeah, I really like the way they have to strategically use resources to narrow down the area. The only "issue" this time around was the curses. At no point did we see any curse that had a meaningful impact on the game. It was just sort of a looming threat where the seekers wanted to avoid.
Yes but they should give each person 2 tries instead of how many total days they're playing for
Switzerland is absolutely perfect for more seasons. This one was pretty short. It would be really cool to have you do a tag across Switzerland show.
I love the way that we also don't know where the hider is, I can kinda play along and make my own guesses
It makes it a lot more engaging too, because it's not obvious when they're going the wrong way
I knew he was in Steffisburg because i searched up a shop
Adam having the castle in the background when explaining his strategy, a couple of minutes before Sam and Ben got on (and then off) the train to Thun, was pretty hilarious when you have the ability to pause and google Swiss castles.
As a swiss, I loved that. I knew Hospenthal right at the beginning, and Steffisburg kind of, I knew, it was around Thun becauae of an ad.
Who would win?
- Strategic thinking
- Precise planning
- Mindgames
- *LE FAST*
Le speed!!!
Thank you so much for putting in the effort to make/get proper subtitles for these videos! Although I am not hard of hearing, I like being able to use subtitles a lot!
Man, Adam can RUN. I mean we knew that from Season 8.....but gosh dang. That is one fast man.
Season 2 as well.
What an absolute master stroke by Adam, wow
I'd be curious to see a season 2, now that they are all wiser to the game
absolutely loved this series - but I really wish each player would get two rounds, no matter what - it feels like Sam never stood a chance!
I feel like it’s a tough balance bc if you go last, you have the advantage of seeing two rounds from a seeker perspective first and that might help in your run (whereas Adam just went in blind the first time). So I can understand why they just made it a time limit
Because 9½ hours is a bad run...
@@ShivNC I can see your point but it felt so unfair for Ben and Sam that Adam got to go twice. And I'd say after one round each, everyone will have collected enough experience for a second round to be fair. Hopefully next time they'll make it 2 rounds for everyone
Bonus points for us cause more episodes :D
@@ShivNCAdam also got to see two rounds from the seeker perspective and got to get two runs.
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.
I’m looking to forward to seeing the next season in Australia, my home country. It’ll be interesting to see what they do considering how massive the place is.
Loved this season btw, keep it up.
There is so much space that is unusable for Jet Lag in Australia because of the vastness. It’ll be narrowed down to the east coast if I were to guess.
@@MTP311 As someone from Perth, I fear you're probably right. They won't come here.
And as someone who just spent a year in western Switzerland, they didn't go there either. So close, and yet so far.
Most of the people live in a couple cities on the east and south coast, with very few on the west coast. The rest of the country is basically too sparsely populated, there are stretches of road where you don't see anyone for hundreds of kilometres
Y'all should really make Jet Lag a physical board game to sell to us fans or at Target. Imagine drawing "event cards" where you get a flight delay, or a cooperative check in clerk to let you board flights early and all that stuff. And the challenges could be something that you can do in your own home. That would be super cool and you guys have absolutely killer graphic designers so you can definitely make it happen.
No way. and I already thought Ben did an awsome move in his run, but Adam is the master of bending the rules without breaking them. capeau. that was the most terrific season you ever made. plz come back tu europe, soon
Nah too much Europe. Try Southeast Asia or something. They've got good public metros and much more diversity across the countries. Unique + definitely can switch up the modes of transportation.
If they had the budget for round the world, Southeast Asia is literally cheaper than Eurail lol.
35:33 "He could't have gotten to Steffisburg" lol
16:37 is where they make the key error.
@@livethefuture2492 Still at 35:33 they "reveal it", i did not listen to that part so yeah...
Let's be honest here, if Sam was the one that made that blunder, no one else would be as catty about it as he was to Ben.
I wonder how long that discussion between Sam and Ben about what the “half-Lyme-disease-tick-bite-arm-fell-off” shape of the remaining map looked like went on after that cut 😂😂😂😂
I don't understand how this show is so underrated when the amount of effort, planning, production and incredible content goes into it!! You guys are all so talented, I would never get tired of rewatching all episodes ❤️
The editing of these videos are always amazing, weither its just hilarious cuts or just genuine animation(like the map and stuff for example), its always good
It's a polished product indeed
I am so glad that Adam's plan worked. It was a genius idea.
Well Done, Adam.
Structurally, this wasn't my favorite season, of only because it felt more passive (especially for the hider, who ends up potentially just having to wait)-but this last episode absolutely clutched it up for me. Adam's big brain is a menace and a pleasure to watch play out.
I think this was the least 'fun' for them lol. I think they had an off-screen agreement not to hide in a big city too.
But yea, this one was just a trek without much attachment to the actual towns. They could genuinely be named XYZ or something (well, aside for the rhyming game).
I had hoped for some thematic play about the languages of the cantons, or some region-specific games (no the whichever political party switched isn't it).
I am so sad that this series is over, but i am hyped for the next series
Well done Adam. This was awesome to watch. Thanks a lot! Also, this is kind of a good showcase of the Swiss public transport system.
One of the best creators on youtube and one of the best if not the best youtube series I have ever watched.
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!
But adam would have waited for at least a couple of hours more, just to already know that he has won the game. Realistically sam and ben had no chance to find him on the same day
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.
But I guess they didn't have time to do that
Yup. Adam should have spent those coins to make them do curses just as they made him run and work.
I agree... guys you seem to be forgetting this isn't the amazing race, it doesn't matter that he already won there's no prize - for content sake keep going, and be aggressive with coin spend! you messed up? bomb with radars, bomb with longitude! 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.
nah for me it felt like a great climax because it was completely unexpected to the viewer as well. Like we couldn't know that he was completely elsewhere in an area they ruled out. It would have been fun if they did eventually find him but yeah, you'd definitely need longer time limits for that. They didn't even get to the end game, honestly think it couldve taken them over half of the next day too, they were clueless
the reveal that he was actually in new york the entire time was gold!
Incredible how fast those legs can run!
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' :)
You literally just tried to take credit for something and rename it then edit to get away with it....
@@FrostytheWicked At least they contributed to the comment section! :D
Also Tom Scott's old video explained the misdirection in the tube by tfl
this also exists in singapore just slightly differently, with rochor and jalan besar stations being 9 stops apart, but only a 5 minute walk between them.
Wow! That's interesting!
But not so much. I think it's just Half as Interesting as I first thought.
This hide and seek game has been my first exposure to your videos, and I'm enthralled. The plays and outplays in this format were incredible and I can't wait to see more!
Loved this season (even though it was quite short)!! The way they just kept upping their game was fantastic. Congrats Adam!
Suuuper keen for Australia as an Aussie myself!! 😍😍
I like how the general quality of play has improved over the seasons!
This was the best Jet Lag season, hands down. And Adam's strategy was absolutely amazing. Well deserved win. Thanks for making this.
Adam going to a castle in both runs is hilarious
Adam winning in the most Adam way possible
Really enjoyed this one, thank you! I particularly appreciated that since the hider has to stay in his location for a while, we get to actually see a little bit of the place! If I have had an objection to some previous seasons - like the NZ one - it was that the focus on zooming onwards came at the expense of actually seeing all the interesting things NZ has to offer.
I think this has been my favorite season of Jetlag. Like no other season, has each following runner come up with even more new and inventive and difficult to track down strategies. Seeing the game become more advanced as it went on was super fun! I hope they do another season of hide and seek in the future like they did with tag, maybe somewhere like Ireland, Portugal, or the Nile Delta!
I love how they actually realized what he did but didn't apply it to the correct region lol
twice even! first with batterkinden/utzenstorf but that one was just plain stupid because neither even came close to rhyming with any of the words
Real lol. I thought they got it. But hey, I suppose overwhelming through the insane amount of towns is a strategy.
I love how Ben goes on like a five minute rant on being bit by a tick
Oooh, Jet Lag 10 is in Australia? Can't wait! (Also nice touch with throwing a shrimp on the Barbie at the end.)
By complete coincidence, this is the third season in a row where I’ve been at their exact locations at the exact same time. 🤯 Maybe next time I’ll see them.
Honestly, I’d watch a screen recording video of their phones while they’re doing their research hahahahha i wanna see how their brain works with this!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!
Loved this season, I watched it on Nebula + The Layover first then re-watched it with a friend on UA-cam.
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 jet lag guys should come to the UK.
Put them through the pain of the UK train system. It would make for a great watch! (try it on a strike day, would be fun entertainment)
get them on the 93 it wont come
They already had to suffer the inconsistency of the Deutschbahn... twice... so it might just be more of the same.

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.
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.
The curses were the most underwhelming since pretty much all were low rolls and Adam didn’t even need to roll.
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
This is such a good idea!
They could call it a treasure hunt. Each of them sets the location and they race for who finds one first. They could even do a free-for-all where each seeker can go for both the treasures the other two set up.
I'm sure the boys will do something like that in future seasons!
@@HopUpOutDaBedYes but sam always tries to bend the game rules just enough to do some wanky move every season. That is also part of the game. - finding loopholes to exploit.
Still your point is right since the loopholes are in the rules they designed.

Is this your first season? Because how could you not finish the other series???
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
The editing for the research montage (16:40) with the Swiss flag becoming an X to cross off certain regions is EXCELLENT editing. *chef's kiss
Adam had to run roughly 12 miles per hour for 11 minutes to pull that off. That’s why he’s my favorite
Is that true? The walking distance between the two train stations is 2,6 km or 1,6 miles. Half of it has to be covered, which is more than a walk, but also no high running speed.
@@boonsterboom3470he also had to get away from the station in case they figured it out?
@@raineob4996no, he just has to get within range of the train station and into his hiding zone. He can get to his hiding spot after the hiding time has finished as long as its within the zone

As long as the station is in his zone it didn’t matter how close he was to it

I had no idea this channel existed, and that's despite being subscribed to everything Sam does already other than this. Ludwig watched one episode of this and immediately I fell in love, subscribed, and have binge watched every video this week.
I watched tou series a couple of days ago. I was like funny, intresting but i treated it as entertainment mostly. I was watching something else abot Switzerland today and the guys was talking about Zurich, Basile and other towns. I was like "wait a minute i know exactly where they are in the Switzerland". I was never good with geography but you made me learn and have fun. Thank you guys!
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.❤
They need to do Hide And Seek Across EUROPE !!
They already played Tag across Europe
Yes, but week/month long.
way too big, they can't afford to play for weeks or months they also have hai and wendover
LITERALLY
they already did that
Adam's strategy was disgusting. That is pure genius.
Yea. Also the fact that the seekers thought about two towns covered by the hiding zone theory. If that was what actually happened that would be an insane misdirect.
lesson learned: never let adam get 2 attempts
Adam Adapts and Overcomes
This is the best ever, can you guys do this in a crazy big country and make it a week😊😊😊 like Canada would be crazy because it’s huge and the woods
Already watched on Nebula, but just wanted to say great season guys! Keep it up!
The one thing I miss about watching on Nebula is not having comments until the video comes out on UA-cam
@@emmanotsostrong There is a reddit thread under every nebula episode, which is basically a comment section too. It's pretty cool.
I am very happy and a bit proud that Adam finally win and endling the Game in Steffisburg my Hometown to funny, but i am exited for the next Season. 🎉❤😂 Good Job
THank you guys for some amazing weeks. This turned out to be the best thing I seen this year. I appreciate the hide and seek. Hope to see more hide and seek like this in the future. Very entertaining and very fun. And you got a subscriber. So thank you so much for entertaining me every Friday now for the past few weeks.
13:27 i think they really messed up here.
What they should have done in my opinion is continue the strategy that Ben and Adam used to find sam, i.e the Eliminate half of all options every question sort of strategy.
Cuz really instead of hedging bets on individual towns, you really just NEED to eliminate with 100% surety rhe possible hiding area.
For instance if they had bought the latitude question as well, this would have led them to Adam MUCH quicker than they did here. In which they ended up sidetracking all over the place chasing tenuous leads, when frankly they just needed to eliminate the search area.
I just think the Strategy of Narrowing down the search area difinitevely is the way go in these games, until you are left with only 2-3 possible towns.
It seems to me thats the best most efficient strategy.
And hey it clearly worked really well when Ben and Adam used it to find Sam.
Good job Adam! I always wanted to visit Switzerland and this made me want to visit it more. Australia here we come.
They did consider your incredible speed, but they just got the wrong town.
This season was INSANE 🔥🔥
Easily the best season yet imo. I actually loved that it didnt involve challenges, which I think can feel a bit same-y and generally get in the way of the interesting parts (strategy + mind-games).
Need to do a season 2, perhaps with some tweaks (hiding in the woods seems so unfair hahaha)
I looked down at my phone and looked up right at the shot of the Brisbane sign and GASPED. JET LAG WAS HERE?? IN MY STATE???? AAHH I'm very excited
AND congrats to Adam of course lol
“The tick has bit you… here” *points with finger* 😂😂😂
Adam really whipped out his galaxy brain for this one
This has been such an unexpectedly enjoyable series
This has been by far my favourite season of jet lag. You HAVE to ply this game again!!!
Adam was absolutely crazy this round. Massive GG, and see you next season!
This was a very good season, that managed to keep me very interested the whole time! Adam did a great job! Congratulations, that was so smart of you!!!! You definitely need to do another one in this format! Also you should make a season in which you go to Poland! We also have lots of trains and I would love to see you doing Jet Lag in my country!
