TL;DR – We chart all of Jet Lag the Game as they galivant across the globe or hide in small English towns.

Mapping Jet Lag the Game Introduction –

If you have seen any part of this site, you know I love maps, like really love maps, like I probably should talk to someone about it, love maps. There are very few people out there who get maps on the same wave level as me. But outside of two proper English gentlemen, one of the best places you can find it comes from a little YouTube/Nebula series called Jet Lag the Game. Which is where a team of three Americas, and guests, galivant across the world playing games like Tag, Snake, and Connect Four, but using countries as their gameboard. Back in 2023, we took a first look at mapping Jet Lag, but there have been many games since then, so, before they race around Taiwan, I thought I would take a look at where in the world they have been.

Where it all began was in North America, and we have had more entries since then. A lot of the games are very wide, but I like how tall we get in Season 8 racing from the top of the USA to the bottom of the continent. If nothing else, we have the start of Dunes, Dunes, Dunes, Dunes, Dunes.

The Pacific

Back in my part of the world, we have had two seasons in the Pacific, or Oceania, or probably not Australasia. During their time in Australia, I got the wild moment of watching the gang try to flip a bottle on a path I have walked down many times.

Then we get to Europe, which is without a doubt the most populated part of the map by a country mile, and that was already the case last time. I need to apologise to the communities around the north of France because, at some point, one has to give up being accurate as to where you are just to fit everything in. Maybe they will do something in Spain next time to help spread the love around, looking at you, Charleville-Mézières.

Full Map

And here we have the full map where all the lines cutting across the globe make a touch more sense. Over the years, they have moved away from the more globe-trotting episodes to more country focused, which does remove some of the big travel moments. But then we would not have had the joy of watching Adam flip a coin 649 times, so I can’t complain.

Summary

In summary, look, I can’t recommend Jet Lag The Game enough because if I didn’t love it, I would not have mapped it [please don’t bring up my Sony Spider-Man Universe Map at this point]. But the effort the team goes through to make those maps shine brings joy to my heart, and I look forward to racing around Taiwan later this year. If you have a map that you would like us to do next?
