The Amazing Race Part 4 (NB Game)

Based on the real show The [name_m]Amazing[/name_m] [name_m]Race[/name_m], teams of two will travel around the world to try and win 1,000,000! In the show, the teams get clues and do tasks in various countries, trying not to be the last team to arrive. In the majority of these legs (parts of the [name_m]Race[/name_m]), there will be an elimination for the last team to arrive, unless spared by a Non-Elimination Leg.

[name_f]Remember[/name_f] to do Part 1 or the game would not make sense. Use the remaining teams from Part 3 and start with the country the teams visited in that part. Choose a new continent if you haven’t already done so in Part 3. If you have already chosen a new continent in Part 3, stay within that continent but just pick a different country. For this leg, all the teams are equalised on the same flight.


DETOUR (where teams must do one of two tasks): Teams must paint their faces and design a costume piece for a local performing arts studio or deliver 5 national dishes to hungry customers. You may choose which teams complete which Detour.

ROADBLOCK (where only one member on the team does the task): One team member must solve a puzzle pertaining to the history of the country they’re in. You choose everyone who does this Roadblock.

[name_m]Roll[/name_m] D6 once for extras to add in. You may choose which team this is for.

1: The team member not performing the Roadblock is getting a bad feeling they should have done the task instead.
2: The team member doing the Roadblock is worried about how they’ve done in Roadblocks compared to how their partner has done in Roadblocks.
3: The team member doing the Roadblock silently focuses a lot on any tricks the Roadblock may have.

Part 4 takes place in Spanish Town, [name_f]Jamaica[/name_f]. (still [name_m]North[/name_m] America).

For this leg of the race, everyone went on the same flight.

Detour:
Each team must choose to either paint their faces and design a costume for a local performing arts studio, or deliver five Jamaican dishes to hungry customers.

The costume challenge was chosen by:
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Julia[/name_f]

The food challenge was chosen by:
[name_m]Mateo[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
[name_m]Evan[/name_m] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_f]Stacy[/name_f] and [name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] had a hard time with the food challenge but used their closeness to get it done faster.
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Julia[/name_f] were really excited about the materials they were using for their costume.

Roadblock:
Each team had to have one member solve a puzzle related to the history of [name_f]Jamaica[/name_f].
The players participating in this roadblock were:

[name_m]Mateo[/name_m]
[name_m]Evan[/name_m]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f]
[name_m]Mark[/name_m]
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f]
[name_m]Henry[/name_m]

[name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] was super impressed by Lauren’s performance and hugged her when she finished.
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] had a bad feeling that maybe she should have done the roadblock instead…

After the roadblock, everyone took taxi cabs to the pit stop.
[name_m]Evan[/name_m] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] took the taxi that [name_f]Stacy[/name_f] and [name_m]Mark[/name_m] wanted to take, but [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] got lucky with the best taxi driver.

Pit stop:
The placements for the [name_f]Jamaica[/name_f] challenges were:

1st Place: [name_m]Mateo[/name_m] and [name_m]Peter[/name_m]
2nd Place: [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f]
3rd Place: [name_m]Maxwell[/name_m] and [name_f]Lauren[/name_f]
4th Place: [name_m]Henry[/name_m] and [name_f]Johanna[/name_f]
5th Place: [name_m]Evan[/name_m] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
6th Place: [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] and [name_f]Julia[/name_f]
7th Place: [name_f]Stacy[/name_f] and [name_m]Mark[/name_m]

…but [name_f]Stacy[/name_f] and [name_m]Mark[/name_m] did not get eliminated, because this was a Non-Elimination Leg. But next leg they’re getting the Speed Bump, a special challenge only they have to complete.

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] worries about how she’s done in Roadblocks, compared to [name_f]Annette[/name_f]. [name_m]The[/name_m] times [name_f]Annette[/name_f] has done the Roadblocks, they’ve either won the leg or gotten in the top groups. Meanwhile, the last time [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] did the Roadblock, they almost went home.

[name_f][/name_f]

Meanwhile, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] reminisces on how her and [name_m]Preston[/name_m] could spend the money if they win the show. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] (35), Nora’s eldest daughter and Preston’s oldest sister, recently got into some serious legal trouble and lost custody of her kids, [name_m]Franklin[/name_m] (10), [name_f]Melody[/name_f] (8), [name_f]Trinity[/name_f] (5), and [name_f]Joy[/name_f] (1). Therefore, [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and her husband, [name_m]Paul[/name_m], have taken the kids in and are raising all of them, with the help of [name_m]Preston[/name_m] and their other three kids, [name_f]Regina[/name_f] (33), [name_m]Jason[/name_m] (31), and [name_f]Britta[/name_f] (23). This money will go a long[name_f][/name_f] way to help this family.

On the way to the Pit Stop, the cab driver gets completely lost, taking some time away from Ye-jun and [name_f]Sana[/name_f]. However, they aren’t the only ones who have issues – [name_m]Ross[/name_m] and [name_m]David[/name_m] take a bus to the Pit Stop rather than a taxi, getting a 30-minute penalty for not following correctly.

Hanoi to [name_m]Cape[/name_m] Town

All teams are on the same flight

Detour: Perform or Provide

Perform: Teams must paint their faces in a traditional inspired style and assemble a headpiece

Provide: Teams must deliver 5 dishes of bobotie to the correct customers

Perform

[name_f]Lena[/name_f] & [name_f]Tasha[/name_f]

[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f] & [name_m]Marcus[/name_m]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] & [name_m]Jordan[/name_m]

[name_f]Mari[/name_f] & [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]

Provide

[name_m]Noah[/name_m] & [name_m]Andre[/name_m]

[name_f]Kayla[/name_f] & [name_f]Bri[/name_f]

[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] & [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]

They chose Perform, which immediately exposes them:

  • [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] is overthinking every detail

  • [name_f]Mari[/name_f] is rushing and getting sloppy

  • [name_m]The[/name_m] face paint starts looking… questionable

[name_m]Not[/name_m] terrible. [name_m]Just[/name_m] not good enough.

  • [name_m]Judge[/name_m] shakes their head

  • They get sent back to fix details

[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] sighs, clearly frustrated
[name_f]Mari[/name_f] starts to get defensive

[name_f]Mari[/name_f] pauses.

“Hey… we’re good. We just need to slow down.”

  1. [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] explains what needs fixing calmly
  2. [name_f]Mari[/name_f] actually listens instead of rushing ahead
  3. They divide tasks instead of stepping on each other

[name_f]Kayla[/name_f] & [name_f]Bri[/name_f] chose Provide… and immediately regret trusting vibes as a navigation system.

  • Wrong turn

  • Missed street

  • Delivered to the wrong area

  • Now fully, undeniably lost

[name_m]Even[/name_m] Bri’s confidence starts to crack.

Enter [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] & [name_f]Sofia[/name_f].

Also not thriving… but at least slightly less lost.

Quick eye contact. Mutual understanding:

“We’re struggling.”

  1. [name_f]Sofia[/name_f] takes charge of movement and pace
  2. [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] and [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] double-check directions
  3. [name_f]Bri[/name_f] handles talking to locals and getting quick info

[name_f]Bri[/name_f], half-laughing:

“We were absolutely going the wrong way.”

[name_m]Ethan[/name_m], deadpan:

“Yeah… we figured.”

[name_f]Lena[/name_f]

[name_f]Aaliyah[/name_f]

[name_f]Kayla[/name_f]

[name_m]Noah[/name_m]

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]

[name_f]Hannah[/name_f]

[name_m]Ethan[/name_m]

  • [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] studies each piece carefully

  • Re-checks before placing anything

  • Fixes a small error without panicking

Meanwhile, [name_m]Jordan[/name_m] is watching like:

“Oh… she’s really got this.”

[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] places the final piece.

[name_m]Judge[/name_m] nods.

Approved.

[name_f]She[/name_f] exhales, finally letting the pressure drop.

[name_m]Jordan[/name_m] walks up, smiling:

“That was really good.”

[name_m]Noah[/name_m] spots a bus route heading in the right direction.

And this is where things go wrong.

  • “It’s faster with traffic.”

  • “It’s cheaper.”

  • “It’s efficient.”

[name_m]Andre[/name_m], for once, doesn’t argue.

They hop on the bus.

They arrive near the Pit Stop, feeling good.

Then it hits.

[name_m]Andre[/name_m]:

“Wait… did it say taxi?”

[name_m]Noah[/name_m] pauses.

Pit Stop
