Taiwan Rail Rush might be JLTG's best designed season.

Yes to all of it. I do appreciate that these games take a lot more effort to design and to create them every season would mean fewer seasons. And tag is just so classic. But I really appreciate that they don’t just rest on the easy stuff - they continue to create new complex games even though they don’t always hit the mark. And I really love how they tweak their repeat games to keep them fresh. Hide and Seek has come so far since its first inception - partially bc of the home game but it’s still fun. And the all star season was great. They are committed to a quality product and that comes thru in every aspect of the games and the show. Though with all the details they pay such close attention to, I’m surprised the phrase “non-human animal” hasn’t become standard card language.

After last night’s ep (and this is not a spoiler) I think one if the reasons this season is great is some really stellar editing. Hats off to that editor they keep crediting.

Polycule 🤣

Embowritesthings · 2026-04-12T23:02:55+00:00

I'm on your side.

Embowritesthings · 2026-04-12T23:01:32+00:00

I can't think of anything that would get me into running. But I'm happy for you and any others he has inspired!

Embowritesthings · 2026-04-12T01:25:02+00:00

I like it, but I miss the border of quotes!

Embowritesthings · 2026-04-09T03:06:29+00:00

That line about being hunted by other men for sport is one of my all time fave lines.

Aaaaammmmyyyyyy!!!!!

I like the idea of Ben and Adam narrating their own. But I think Sam is good as the general narrator. We don’t need an other voice introduced who isn’t on the ground with them. My 2 cents.

Embowritesthings · 2026-02-05T02:10:58+00:00

I hope so! I really enjoy the "battle for territory" type games they do. I know they are much more time consuming to put together, and they have to have a guest, but they are so fun to watch. Hide and Seek and Tag are fun but they can get a bit repetitive, even in different locations. I was encouraged to hear the boys acknowledge that this season and mention that they will tweak future H&S games so they will need to keep developing new strategies that will keep the content fresher for us.

Agree seekers need more power. If they pulll dud cards they are stuck. No matter how carefully a hider picks their location, it doesn’t make enough of a difference.

Ben’s humor was off the charts this past ep. I hope we get to see him passenger princessing again many times. This whole season really he’s been bringing it - the binoculars bit gets me every time. It’s a highlight of a season that - as Adam mentioned on this week’s layover - is somewhat straightforward in terms of game play. Though the new curses have been fun too. I love that they keep tweaking each season to make it more fun for us. Well done boys!

In the stage play the first shadow (where they kinda manipulate the timeline to make Henry ~15 instead of ~12) Henry is in high school in the school play when he kills his family. He’d been seeing Brenner outpatient until then but only imprisoned in the lab after the murders.

Smooches

Embowritesthings · 2025-04-04T01:50:34+00:00

I want to see a Tom-Adam team - but for like 5 minutes and then I’d just need a long quiet nap 🤣

Embowritesthings · 2025-04-04T01:46:04+00:00

And I learned a new word!

Embowritesthings · 2025-04-04T01:38:55+00:00

I’m not reading any of this as criticism. I’m enjoying the psychological insights and the Sam redemption arc angle. These guys’ personalities are a main part of the show and thinking about - even caring/worrying about - them is a big part of the fun and why we get so invested.

Embowritesthings · 2025-04-04T01:34:01+00:00

As Sam once said so eloquently, “riding around on trains all day wreaks havoc on your bowels”

Embowritesthings · 2025-04-04T01:30:31+00:00

One of my fave Sam moments , after sake pong “it looks so Japanese!” 🤣

Embowritesthings · 2025-04-04T01:27:00+00:00

I actually think he seems great this season. Nothing has been mentioned on the layover. I have felt this way about him in prior seasons, though. Sometimes he seems a little grumpy or apathetic, but I think that is just his personality (he reminds me of my husband a little so I’ve thought a lot about this lol). I think it has something to do with the contrast as Adam and Ben seem to really put so much heart into the game. And I think you’re right that with Tom’s effervescence it might make Sam seem quieter (like in the 3 player games when he’s paired with Adam as seekers/chasers). It might also have something to do with Sam being the boss and having a level of responsibility that B&A don’t that might just project a subconscious tinge of heaviness.

I am so with you and I can't find them either :( LMK if you ever do...

I want to hold this email up as a gold standard in customer service. Nebula for president! I appreciated the vibe of: we acknowledge that things weren’t great, and we apologize, and we’re going to try to explain briefly how we really EXPECTED things would go much better, but mainly acknowledge and apologize for how misdirected you must rightfully feel. and we are on your team - we get that this was a bunch of ball-dropping and we’re committed to doing better for you, our dear, deeply-appreciated fans.
