The Amazing Race: Comments

1, How to start an Amazing Race:
Teams stand at the starting line and when the host says “Go”; teams get their clues and backpacks and get into one of the marked cars. Fun is coming when you have to beat the other teams. At each leg the clues tell that you must fly to another country. But you don’t worry about money problems, because that the start of each leg, the host will give you some money. The clues lead you to another clue box and get the next clue. Your clue sometimes will show a Detour, a Road Block, or a Fast Forward. Some clue boxes have Yield signs or Intersection signs. When you get to the Pit Stop, the host will tell you what place you are, and the host will take a person to the Pit Stop. The first team to arrive will get something special. The last team to arrive, I’m sorry, you will be eliminated from the race, or you will have bad news (just like no money on the next leg or no clothes, except you are wearing) but you are not eliminated. After teams get to the pit stop, they will have 12 hours of rest. Race continues until only three teams left, and the first team to arrive to the finish line, the team wins the race and gets
$1000000 dollars!

2, How to start a Amazing Race (myself)
I would do that but I need to use a Monopoly set. Before I start, I need to take out the checkers. I will also make a chart to keep track what place the checkers are. The race starts when the checkers go one by one. The target is to go around one lap on the board, and to beat the other checkers. There can’t possibly be any Detour or Road Blocks, even there aren’t any Yield and Intersection and, there even aren’t any clue boxes! The last checker arrives the go sign on the board will be eliminated or not eliminated from the race. Race continues until only three checkers left, and the first checker to arrive to the finish line, the checker wins the race! This race probably will take 10 days to finish the race.

3, Questions about the Amazing Race

What’s a Detour?
A detour is 2 tasks that teams will to decide which task the teams do.
The team will do what the task says and when the team had done your task, the team will receive the next clue.

What’s a Road Block?
A Road Block is a task but only one person per team could do. The player needs to do exactly the same as the task says and get the next clue.

What’s a Fast Forward?
A Fast Forward could only occur twice in an Amazing Race game. The first team to get the Fast Forward clue will get to challenge. The team will do some dangerous things. And when they succeed, the team will skip all tasks and go to the pit stop!

What’s a Yield?
A Yield is players decide if they want or not want to yield. If they want to yield, they need to choose a team’s picture. The team that arrives and the picture is the same, they have to stop 1 hour.

What’s an Intersection?
An Intersection is to work with another team. The teams work until a clue says separate.

4, other things
1. If you didn’t do a Detour or a Road Block correctly, you will have a penalty (30 minutes). If you didn’t get a clue, the host will let you take the clue, then check in the pit stop. You will get a 4-hour penalty if you failed to do a Road Block!
2. The number of teams on every season is different. Just like Seasons 3&4 has 12 teams on the race, and season 8 has 10 teams. The other seasons have 11 teams.
3. Penalties when you come last on the non-elimination were different. Some seasons are no money and no clothes (except you are wearing). Others are like if the next pit stop you didn’t get in first; you will have a penalty (30 minutes).
