[@meghanm6282]

Hide and Seek is by far the best format. Theres no real difference in which order you go in and unlike Tag theres a reason to go hard right off the bat and no pointless first runs. Also keeps us in suspense because the outcome isnt already pretty much a given by the last episode.

[@byFoxi]

I still like Tag more, because you never know what happens. In hide and seek you know at one point they will be found. In Tag even when you think it is the end of a run magic happens, like when Ben hide in the photo booth or Adam did the train switch in Italy. And it is strategy from both sides all the time, while in hide and seek the seeker has the strategic planning only in the beginning. But I still love hide and seek and it is my 2nd favorite format

[@ca-ke9493]

I love how hide and seek really shows off the beautiful places they are visiting, because the seeker basically has a good amount of time to walk around the location. Switzerland Hide and Seek is one of my favourite seasons. Also much better balancing with the curses to get the seeker more involved in the gameplay. Excited!

[@CalmCritical]

I understand reasons to like both! About the 1st run in tag it is pretty important since the player going first builds up coins (and annoys the 2nd runner) for their next run.

[@Kairos457]

@@ca-ke9493you mean the hider, not the seeker. otherwise great points! 😊

[@drcgaming4195]

this tag season is much better. i felt like the powerups were lacking a little bit on the hiders side, like we dont really get to see many of them (and on average they would have to get 300 coins for a roll in the 20s, which didnt happen in the show at all). seekers could just fire off questions with relatively low stakes. this season has already had wayy more tension in it with the new cards system. i thought the hour and 10 minute episode was way too long, but after watching it the time felt like it disappeared

[@adamplace1414]

The first season of Hide and Seek was my favorite of Jet Lag to watch - beautiful, changing scenery, and each episode stood on its own really well - but the curses didn't come in to play a lot, and a lot of the same questions got asked. I'm ten minutes in and already I LOVE the changes (especially that the game is six days long!)

Cards are a _lot_ better than dice, because rolling multiple dice forms a discrete T-distribution (similar to a normal distribution) that makes middling outcomes a lot more probable than good ones, but you always have equal probability of drawing any card in a deck (and if you design the game, you can load the deck such that the probabilities of bad, good, and middling outcomes are tailored for gameplay).

The reasons why I think tag and hide + seek work really well is because the dynamic is different. It's not 2 vs 2 were often one team was way ahead and often could't get ahead properly because of game design (New Zealand and Alaska/Florida for that reason sucked game design wise). It's the 3 of them fighting it out with each other with the help of each other. It just works really well.

Hey, I just want to say that I really love the level of detail you go into with the subtitles. I watch this by myself but also with my family and having clear subs that show who is talking can be so helpful with the music going on. It doesnt go unnoticed :)

[@signebrummerstedt9205]

No but Ben ignoring signs about killer monkeys is one of the most American AND hilarious things he could do 10/10

[@katiek.6333]

We love a season that starts with a nice chunky first episode

[@mafi8781]

Hide and seek IS the BEST Game in this Channel, i LOVE It, please never stop doing them

[@Nooticus]

Phenomal video. Perfection. I'm hard to please especially when it comes to Jet Lag but this was PERFECTION. From the Imperial Japan flag jumpsuit (thats literally what it was), to the Blue Danube numbers edit, this made me laugh throughout, and the game design is actually perfect this time around. Congrats guys.

[@ddoshortsNG]

This is the Best show series in youtube.I have watched every episode..Keep up the good work,guys

[@tiduszk]

I enjoyed the last season of hide and seek, but it was clear the rules needed a bit more designing. The shakeups you did here are perfect.

[@janieceng2153]

I LOVE the new changes and the balancing. Can't wait to see how this season goes (and can't wait to get those hide + seek cards to play with friends)

[@Captain_Subpar]

You know you love Jet Lag when you watched the episode last week on Nebula but still came to the KZbin video the following week just to check out the Nebula ad read since it's new material...

[@kaylac7320]

The production that went into this is GREAT. Keep it up, specially with the subtitles

[@Shirolicious]

Alright guys, you got me hooked. I randomly came across this and I am enjoying your game. Subbed for more :)

[@lightcrowd42040]

Best series on KZbin!

[@kenmurphy951]

💯

[@NathanielStoll]

Correction best channel on youtube

[@Alexj22]

I would buy Nebula instantly if all the episodes were there for me to binge. One in a week of this gem is just not enough.

[@emilyhendrix8723]

The podcast is really great and gives you more details and behind the scenes stuff.

[@oreoslush]

Definitely worth it, especially since I got it $30 for the year with some half off thing. The podcasts are great and go into the detail of the game, and gives you content during the off season. There is also their new show the getaway on Nebula where it’s like those find the mole shows but everyone is the mole and no one knows everyone is the mole. Really worth it

[@ChristofferETJ]

They do tend to release the first episode before the last episode has been finished.

[@ttotl]

Agree!! I might subscribe and add their code just to support the channel. Maybe I do it when the last episode launch on nebula.

[@marika1727]

Such a delight to see the preview and clicking with childish excitement. Amazingly fun as always and so cool to see Japan. Thank you boys, looking forward for the next episode!!

[@lob_ter]

28:39 cool detail how the camera shake syncs perfectly to the music kudos to whoever did that

[@Ilikedronesssss]

"It's been" ‐ Adam "ONE WEEK SINCE YOU LOOKED AT ME" - me when Sam did not know that song

[@nicodeblauwe598]

Finally a new Jet Lag season. This is always one of the main series I enjoy watching on youtube, and am always sad when it stops!

[@OuterSpaceandTimelapses4]

Hearing Adam’s “Whee!” On the swings was hilarious XD Edit: And when he was rolling the dice with the music :p

[@ANoBaka]

The most optimal hiding space in the whole of Japan would be some random place inside of Shinjuku station

[@peachy-tay]

a photobooth, perhaps

[@ANoBaka]

@@peachy-tay Oh god, yes!

[@aidengallego839]

"I got my curses, I got my tracker, I got my snake. h my god, it moved." I bursted into laughter for a quick sec

[@spaghettiwarriors7811]

Imagine being a Japanese kid going to play at the park but then you see 2 grown men swinging on the swings

[@FranciscoSilva-is6px]

Guys, next time make sure to give us more information in snack zone, my girlfriend needs to know what you’re eating 😂

[@Mistwolfss]

I need to know what he was eating!!! Tho it might be wasabi ice cream?

[@FranciscoSilva-is6px]

@ ben said something about it being melon

[@RusNad]

Yeah it was melon flavored and then the other thing he ate was some kind of grilled mochi

[@wandererkent]

Melon-flavored shaved ice and “dango”, which is are rice mochi grilled on a stick with thick, miso-based paste put on it

[@Enviro1]

Sam and Adam getting trapped by the dice was incredibly unlucky

[@Danish_AviEditor]

Bro chill out with the comments

[@Enviro1]

@@Danish_AviEditoreh

[@aprophetofrng9821]

Well, they only rolled 3 times and missed twice. It was like a 42% chance they'd miss with the roll. Which, ya missing that twice is unlucky, but not crazy unlucky. Ben chose a really good time to play the curse.

[@zack4527]

I guess I don’t need to study for my final that’s in 3 hours

[@shayna386]

how was the final...

[@aweenzi]

Thinking you’re probably taking it right now… sending good luck!

[@shreychaudhary4477]

this is so real I have 2 essays due tonight and a final next tuesday and then they posted jet lag...

[@ventreal4292]

No you only need to study 2 hours for it

[@columbus8myhw]

Don't forget about Fatou's lemma

[@toaster_2815]

I'm so glad this show is back :) Also it's hilarious to see the texts on cards get longer and longer over the seasons because they always find a way to bend the rules :D

[@vathek5958]

And yet the ‘curse of the jamming doors’ didn’t specify what kind of dice! I was sure Sam was about to pull out 2 d20s

[@KHein29]

Sam is the biggest rule bender

[@Corvin_Ito]

droppin in a comment to say i really apreciate the subtitles, i like that theyre color coded and also sometimes move to where they will obstruct the least ammount of important visuals without being overly distracting

[@fennfruners]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for covering those holes in the stones. I really appreciate it.

[@Hyperhe4rt]

Oh my god we are so back!! I’m so so excited to see where this goes!! I absolutely ADORED the last game of hide and seek, I’m so excited to see who comes out on top in this one!

[@afatcatfromsweden]

Ben is utterly hilarious this episode!

[@skylarsa]

Adams outfit and whole look as the seeker was giving "dad on a mission" (with the green cargo shorts tugged in, the map, the ipad..) meanwhile Sam was giving the teenager who just wanted to go explore lol

[@peacefulcat3578]

52:33 the sign: DANGER! don't go in because it's dangerous! Ben: I am going to hide in here. :)

[@jmonsted]

Well, you were right, the second door curse roll _was_ funny.

[@gfrewqpoiu]

Oh wow, the intro with the rocks has been modified? The rocks in the background of Ben's hiding spot in the intro originally have a bunch of holes. But I guess it triggered off some trypophobia in some people. Interesting choice.

[@Claps_at_Cats]

I had to check and you’re correct. The holes are still there in the nebula version. Really curious about the reasoning behind editing them out.

[@gfrewqpoiu]

@@Claps_at_Cats Ben has confirmed it on the subreddit. My reason was correct.

[@evaantoniaa570]

the pattern in the rocks is called tafoni and it‘s actually a really cool forming of rock weathering! Kinda sad it got edited out :(

[@merlith4650]

There is literally a phobia for everything. How much are they are they going to start editing out now for "sensitivity" reasons? I don't see them editing out the shots of rivers and water for people with aquaphobia. Why would trypophobia get a special privilege, but other phobias are not "worth" their attention? Going down the rabbit hole of enforcing irrational censorships to pander to fringe irrational fears, which 90% of the time are terminally online people convincing themselves they have phobias they don't actually have is certainly a.. interesting choice EDIT: also, what they (and most of the internet) fail to realize: typhophobia does NOT just affect patterns of "holes".. its a phobia describing a fear of any repeating patterns, like the stripes on Ben's outfit. Those stripes could be a massive typhophobia trigger

[@jimbob4004]

@merlith4650 I truly can't comprehend why you view it as a problem to remove something people might find upsetting. Like yeah it's extra work but if they're willing to do it it's exclusively a good thing right?

[@entity22]

the previous hide & seek is how I discovered Jet Lag so I was very excited for this, loving it!

[@m_dcb]

Can't wait to receive my copy of Jet Lag: The Game: The Game

[@Einveldi]

I need to gather two friends, the new deck, and play Hide and Seek Luxembourg where the public transport is all free.
