FINAL TASK?!!!
« on: April 24, 2016, 06:10:41 AM »
Have anyone been started to discuss about this or it's just me that missed it? What are you guys think about the final task? I have no idea actually...  ???

There's been a couple of #hashtags in the clues. Could this be it?
Example from Leg 3: "Search the #catacombs for your next clue."

Edited to include an example!

There's been a couple of #hashtags in the clues, starting from the first leg. Could this be it?
*runs off to find examples*
I also think that it would be around the social-media-thingy  :hoot:

In Ep 2 it was #WalledCity.

Ep 4 looks like it might be #jetstream. It's interesting that all of them mention geographic things without referring to a specific spot.
And in Ep 6, Blair says "hashtag cascade."

I'm convinced with the idea of hashtags as the final task. :colors

It's a shame they haven't really put much emphasis into explicitly showing this is the final task (unlike Hello/Goodbye)

I waited until Ep 11 aired to search for more hashtags, but production has been stingy the past several seasons about showing us clue cards.
So far we have (personal guesses in parentheses):
Leg 1  ?
Leg 2  #WalledCity
Leg 3  #catacombs
Leg 4  #jetstream
Leg 5  ?
Leg 6  #cascade
Leg 7  ?
Leg 8  ?
Leg 9  ? (#gateway)
Leg 10 ? (#stairway)
Leg 11  ? (#Silicon Valley)

Teams were instructed: "Fly to Shenzhen, the Silicon Valley of China." Shenzhen and Chengdu both try to claim that title, but Zhongguancun probably has the better of them.
Just my guess, anyway; sometimes when they read a clue you can hear a very small pause before certain words.

Aww :( I'm hoping those would be used in a creatively difficult way.

I'm really hungry for a final memory task that's very puzzly and difficult like Season 12's Itemized List and Season 21's Hello/Goodbye. Those were the best ones for me.

maybe it's like the flags in the clues of S9 or the country outlines in S19, they're just a reminder or clues for the teams and the task will be something more visual
The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move

I don't think it's the hashtags. Otherwise they would've showed more

It's something about hashtag.You can see Korey take a barrel top on his left hand which had hashtag #Mon...# on it.


I think this task should be that spell the city match hashtags.

Ooh, you're right! #MonteBlanc! And it looks like Korey is spelling Chamonix as well.

Nice catch! <3
