How Jet Lag Works

Love to see how Ben and Adam from not being famous have become Ben and Adam from Jet Lag.

That being said, I want another "Tag Across ..." - it was my favorite season.

It was KILLING me how familiar Ben looked during the first couple Jet Lag seasons...turns out we were both at Brown at the same time!

I love the Adam/Ben partnership. Their ability to play off each other really makes a big part of Jet Lag. I hope they don’t try to switch it around!

As far as switching up teams...the game is what brought me here, but the on screen chemistry between Ben & Adam is what brings me back.

I think Toby was the best guest so far, she really leant into the competition but was also fun and interesting. Brian is good for the comedy as he can drop the comedy bombs when needed. Even though I watched the round the world one with Joseph, I found him completely bland. But I’ve loved every season so far and can’t wait for the next season.

I did a version with my friends in December and we're planning one for May, too. The first was tag in our city and now we're going to do connect 5 of our city's districts. It's totally doable, when scaled down.

I don't know HOW you will do it, but i hope Toby comes back on future seasons. She was so much fun and so strategically tuned to the show. Just an incredible guest

I’d love to see a Nebula podcast on game design- maybe 5-10 episodes on how the game is designed, considerations you have when you design the game, obstacles you’ve hit, etc. a real behind-the-scenes on the logistics of Jet Lag. Something we the fans could take to make homebrew smaller versions for our friends.

I don't think they should break up Ben and Adam's partnership for the more traditional game styles, if only because traveling is so much less stressful with someone you're close with. Also they created the Snack Zone in NZ and I don't see that kind of thing (or drunk Ben's antics, etc.) continuing if they were to swap partners.

Talking about the possibility that Sam might pull rank never occurred to me. Since Sam stated at one point that Ben and Adam are the ones who come up with the rules, while Sam is busy with Wendover and HAI. I always figured that Ben and Adam were the ones who had final say on any rules disputes.

I think it would be interesting to see a season where BOTH teams have NO idea what the game entails. Get a third party to plan the game, and have ALL FOUR of the competitors along for the ride. That would be a true equaliser and allow for pure raw strategy on the fly to shine through. Love all the seasons of this game though!

I think New Zealand with Toby was perfect. She knew how to strategize, she was fun, and it was one of the only instances that sam and the mystery person won.

Ben & Adam is such a wholesome duo. I need more

I found that pretty interesting. Finished it in one sitting and didn't realise it was 52 mins long. Looks like Sam only found it half as interesting though.

I loved when they switched up the groups on tag across Europe, my favorite moment was when Adam was solo and went undercover 😂

If people want a version of jet lag they can play, they just need to scale it down to the city level and base gameplay and challenges around that. Even the Tag across Europe could get kindof expensive. Train travel is inexpensive but it isn't cheap either but most cities you can get transit day passes for a much more reasonable amount of money.

Ben and Adam are great in front of the camera.

36:30 I believe at this point, my greatest reason for watching Jet Lag in general is my wish to have the chance to experience the games in the same way as you guys do. I totally would get as competitive as Sam, and love the seriousness vs laid back attitudes of Ben / Adam. Realistically, you have created something that a lot of Geography 'geeks' would love to do, given the opportunity at some point in their lives, and you are able to share it in an interesting way. In the UK, we have had gameshows such as Treasure Hunt and Interceptor in the 90's which inspired using the earth and known local areas as a 'gameboard' to more recently the series called 'Hunted' in the past few years, which allow folks to experience 'non threatening' simulated experiences of travel under pressurised situations which the viewer can then compare with their own experiences and agree / disagree with the decisions made at the time by the 'contestant'. It is a winning formula for folks who have that 'global' interest for what is around them, and there are even opportunities to introduce new places, just like this most recent series, where I've never been to New Zealand, but had some limited knowledge, so found the places visited around the country very interesting and often found myself googling these locations to find out more about them. If you haven't guessed, I really appreciate the work that you are all putting into the series / channel, and long may it continue, as you will have a Nebula subscriber for as long as you do! Many thanks!

I wonder if Sam/Ben/Adam ever watch UK panelshows / gameshows like Taskmaster. They have a very similar dynamic of "this is a competition but also entertainment" which you don't really see much in the US
