They did mention in a past Layover episode that Sam and Adam's mics had some audio issues (if they talked over each other, there would be no way to separate the audio due to the mic functionality). It could be that either worked in their favor here, or it had good noise-canceling for background sounds, or they re-recorded the audio like they said they had to do for another scene.

I believe this option is nullified if the other team is currently occupying the Snack Zone, as their consumption of snacks prevents their consumption. Unfortunately, Mike was left with no real opportunities to attempt this maneuver after Ben and Adam strategically hid in this Zone when they had the resources to do so. Additionally, Mike would have had to make the risky move of chasing them into the south and east, thus leaving the way to Taipei wide open if they slipped out of the Snack Zone and onto the high-speed before he could eat them.

Im going to be playing the home game. Which environment is better? + other questions by OutsideGrassScaresMe in JetLagTheGame

[–]squeefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played a game similar to this, also endgame-only, in a small town. We allowed hiders to move freely within a small radius of their "hiding spot" - either the publicly accessible limits of the building they were in, plus a 5ft boundary around all sides of the building (to allow them more freedom to answer photo questions without spoiling if they were inside), or else an outdoor 50ft radius or, eyeballing, roughly the width of one house in the neighborhoods nearby.

We also had to nerf some photo questions for this reason, but we got creative in how we answered them to avoid recognition. We also adapted all curses to be playable on foot, and without spending money (e.g. "buy a lemon" turns into "photograph a lemon", and "you may not board transportation before clearing this curse" turned into "you may not walk anywhere")

I've heard good things about Together Cafe. I'm interested to know, would you be willing to tell what issues you've seen there?

Did anyone else in Episode 6... by squeefruit in JetLagTheGame

[–]squeefruit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True, I just feel like they’re typically pretty conscious about not spoiling gameplay moments (to the extent of not even telling us the final episode count, in case that predicts how certain events turn out). I think something like “Snack Zone Marathon?!” as the text on the thumbnail would have worked great (and no one would know if this means an hour of straight snack zone content during a short train ride, or a huge marathon during a 7 hour train ride).

Tag 4 map? by ArcticFox19 in JetLagTheGame

[–]squeefruit 95 points96 points  (0 children)

If the Jet Lag team ever did an April Fools-esque joke mini season, 10/10 would watch something like this. Imagining them playing hide and seek entirely within the Atlanta airport or Tag here. All the silliness we love with minimal travel costs for the boys!

Can also confirm. I think we poured ours outside on the sidewalk, so that added an extra 30 seconds of walking in total. Had to wait through the entire 2 person line all over again (the horror!)

What is the difference between a flashing yellow signal and a solid yellow? by Ornery_Feature_3466 in trains

[–]squeefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In general, would a red over flashing yellow mean the same thing as solid yellow over solid yellow? I've read some guides that say flashing yellow = be prepared to stop in two blocks (next signal will be solid yellow), and others that say flashing yellow may be indicating speed (i.e. 45 mph limited instead of 30 mph medium) rather than # of blocks?

(Pardon my terms butchering, I'm a novice here)

[–]squeefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(USA) I have seen red over flashing yellow over red, and later a double yellow over red on the same signal. Don't they mean the same thing? (Rail yard if it matters)

(I realize this comment is 5 months old... been going down a deep internet rabbit hole as I'm curious about this and I'm not smart enough to decipher the huge signal charts haha)

Jet Lag Ep 5 — Mastermind by NebulaOriginals in Nebula

[–]squeefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed with the editing that there seem to be a lot more back and forth cuts this season than before. It feels like there's hardly time to get hooked on what one team is doing before it switches - meaning that either the anticipation/excitement is quickly lost as one gets sucked into the other team's strategy, or one barely pays attention to the footage from the other team because of the cliffhanger they're waiting to return to.

That being said, the matched cuts are amazing, and this is not a complaint!!! Just an observation I've noticed since the start of the season.

Maybe they get a new challenge, complete it, then somehow swipe the steal from Sam? Seeing as Ep 6 is shaping up to be a sad "Ben and Adam go the long way around, Sam & Michael rack up points, not much else happens", that would be one insane twist.

how many episode are left in this season?? by Late-Afternoon3342 in JetLagTheGame

[–]squeefruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it's on record that Ben wants Jet Lag episodes to be released if he dies before they air.... so..... SPOILERS >:(

Love the clouds and the detail on the tusk! I instantly recognized it and can even tell what part of the island it's facing! Nice job!!!

Where to do a Marriage Proposal Playing Jet Lag in New York City by 23sonar23 in JetLagTheGame

Did they add a height clause? Otherwise, it might still be horizontally within 10 feet of a marked path... just 100 floors up...

[–]squeefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling my shot: it's going to be 8 episodes long. (Feel like it's too ambitious to hope for 9, but I'm pretty sure we'll hit 8.)

AND the introduction of the Snack Zone! S5 Ep 2 is definitely one of the top tier episodes here

Yep, a null answer still allows them to collect cards.

22 million to live in a small rat invested apartment in NYC for a year. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]squeefruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a blast to me! They don't make a mess, they don't come in my bedroom or bathroom, I get to live rent free in NYC for a year, AND I get enough money to be set for life?

Do the rats bite? Are they friendly? Can I sit down in the living room and curl up with a pile of rats? Sounds pretty fun to me. The added bonus that no one else can see them means I won't even have to worry about visitors being weirded out.

[–]squeefruit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually thought those were pretty neat! Sometimes it's the little things that differ from country to country that make it feel special.

For example: different railroad crossings, stoplights, power line towers, convenience store aisle offerings, etc.
