    You can play a small version of this in cities with good public transportation. Played it in Munich with friends, the friends only had to update their location every 12 or 13 minutes or so. It worked out well because there are bus lines, that take you as far as subway lines, as well as tram lines, that have more stops but take you around the neighborhood and low speed rail, that can take you to outskirts. Also, all of that is connected through one app on your phone in Munich.
    A lot of fun! And as a newcomer (new student) in the city, you get to know where you’re going real fast.

      There is this TV show in the Netherlands called jachtseizoen (hunting season).
      Basically the premise is you have four hours to escape, your location is shared every 10 minutes, and you cant use any form of transport for more than 20 minutes. Also you cant start with anything. It was pretty great.

    @mfogs1767 Před rokem +276

    My thoughts on strategy:
    Head to Germany ASAP. Germany has public bike sharing (Call a Bike) across ~40 cities. It's unclear whether you can pick up a bike in one city and drop it off in another. If you can, great, that makes things easier-but if not, simply bike out into the countryside and start racking up challenges in obscure locations (this part would work in any city that has public bike sharing, not just DE). Start by biking along a major train route for 45 min so it looks like you're on the train (choose a low speed one so your speed looks conceivable; they may sniff this out). Choose a stop as far away that has no bike share and you can get there before they do on the next public transit. Stay there until the next public transit from the starting point departs. Then take off in a direction that has no public transit with your bike. Start racking up challenges, bouncing from place to place that doesn't have easy public transit opportunities in a randomized manner.
    You'll get a TON of points this way. Then - they know you'll have to return to the same city to return your bike. But rather than choosing the main train station or something, find an alternate departure point (e.g. intra-city bus stop, smaller train station, etc.). Get there max 5 min before your departure, fly off into the sunset. Granted, you could still be caught, BUT you have so many more options incl flights for later on based on how many pts you racked up.
    I don't have access to the full rules, but this seems possible based on what's been stated so far (but who knows they're pretty good about rules so it may not be possible). You would obviously have to be a very strong biker as well (I've done ~50 miles on a citi bike and it was a nightmare lol).

    I just discovered this channel via recommendations and this is so fun! Looks like a blast and straight up a TV show. You know the type, those travel-races, but... better!
