Bookworm:
Starting Line: Hobie Island Beach Park, Miami, Florida. Situated along the Rickenbacker Causeway and close to the Miami Marine Stadium.
Show content

1. Miami, Florida to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Roadblock involving searching the Miami Marine Stadium for one six-foot-long domino to complete a game set of similarly-sized tiles (based on the number of dots on either side of the gap) before flying to Rio; samba float/routine Detour and a task requiring teams to put together a recipe for feijoada (inspired by a task in HMLM in São Paulo) while Bossa nova music blares. Pit Stop at Museu do Amanhã.
2. Rio to Paraty, Brazil: A colonial town seen on Rush, teams make sawdust carpets and face a churrasco Roadblock where members must place cuts of meat served on a rodizio onto a cow diagram, else they must eat it.
3. Paraty to Juatinga Ecological Reserve, Brazil: Three legs in the same state? Thanks, budget! Teams take part in Brazil’s gold trail and load (fake) gold bars into a Saveiro boat, sailing to a remote island to find a chest and bury their loot. Other tasks include learning capoeira and regional cachaça.
4. Brazil to Rome, Italy (& Vatican City): Roman catacombs and a Detour in Vatican City where teams must choose between matching murals and Vatican stamps.
5. Rome to Potenza, Italy: Hobbit hole wine cellars, a face-first zipline between two mountain towns, and self-driving are enough to make a leg in the Basilicata mountains.
6. Italy to Zanzibar, Tanzania: Sorting recyclables, collecting seaweed, and rowing to a Pit Stop on Changuu Island, where the Pit Stop mat is surrounded by giant tortoises.
7. Zanzibar to Khasab, Oman: A fitting jump, as Oman colonized Zanzibar. Teams repair dhows before using them to explore the fjords and climb cliffs. NEL.
8. Khasab to Nizwa, Oman: Teams take a ferry to the mainland before driving to the mountains, where they spend the night in beehive-shaped tombs. Teams then choose between an Omani saber dance and running errands in Misfat al Abriyyin (collecting dates, honey, and resin for frankincense). These mountain canyons would also be a good fit for a canyoning RB a la TAR33 in Corsica.
9. Nizwa to Tbilisi, Georgia: My 2022 game saw it first: Old Town Tbilisi before a Pit Stop in the rock-hewn town of Uplistsikhe.
10. Tbilisi to Hanoi, Vietnam: Incense, water puppets, and a Tower of Hanoi puzzle before the Pit Stop at the Imperial Citadel. Potential Fast Forward relating to snake wine in Le Mat.
11. Hanoi to Da Nang, Vietnam: Teams start the leg with a more difficult version of the coins and kings Roadblock from TAR Asia 3 at the Hue tombs, explore the caves of the Marble Mountains, and finish at the Cham ruins of My Son.
12. Da Nang to Colorado Springs, Colorado: Connecting through Tokyo, teams arrive in Denver and then drive to Colorado Springs. Tasks involve the fruitcake toss in Manitou Springs, where they use a slingshot to launch old fruitcakes through increasingly-narrow hoops and something to get teams winded hiking up the impossibly-steep Manitou Incline. Perhaps a task relating to medals or solving a code using Olympic Games' years at the US Olympic & Paralympic Training Center before a final memory challenge in Garden of the Gods. Finish Line, with permit pending, at the Cadet Chapel of the US Air Force Academy.

Bookworm:
13 teams, 12 legs, 7 countries, ~22,000 miles of air travel, and two crossings of the Pacific Ocean.

Starting Line: Alaska 360’s Dredge Town, Skagway, Alaska, United States
At the Starting Line, teams receive clues based on either the fur color, leash color, facial markings, or names of huskies and have to identify a husky in the kennel that was part of an (imaginary?) Iditarod team (task inspo from BB Reindeer Games Ep 4 Naughty/Nice Challenge)



1.  Skagway, Alaska to Carcross, Yukon: Based on the order of finishing the Starting Line Task, teams are assigned different cars on the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway to Carcross. Once in Carcross, teams play beach volleyball in the Carcross Desert, row to floating clues on Bennett Lake (including an optional plunge into the cold water to swim to an Express Pass), and match English and Coastal Tagish names. KOR & NEL.
2. Carcross, Yukon to Skagway, Alaska: At the Caribou Crossing Trading Post, teams pack Conestoga wagons according to an example, face a Roadblock at Skydive Yukon, and begin the drive back to Skagway, stopping at the Yukon Suspension Bridge in British Columbia. Teams’ final task in Skagway, finishing off this Wild West/Gold Rush pair of legs, is a Detour between gold panning and burlesque dancing. Ideally, Leg 1 starts at dawn and producers can take advantage of the summertime midnight sun to get two legs shot in a single day.
3. Skagway to Seoul, South Korea: Because Korea is criminally under visited. Building Korean swings, taekwondo, and a K-POP routine a la TAR30 in Zimbabwe before subjecting teams to hell on the N Seoul Tower love locks.
4. Seoul to Gyeongju, South Korea: Seokguram Grotto; a game of tuho deciding which side of a Chuseok Detour teams complete; and a riddle leading teams to the Pit Stop at Cheomseongdae.
5. Gyeongju to Sado Island, Japan: Teams travel by ferry to Fukuoka, and train to Niigata, and ferry (again) to Sado Island; 1 flight in 5 (soon to be 6) legs to make up for added costs due to two trans-Pacific flights. Detour relating to taiko drumming or rowing Tarai Bune tub boats, sake tasting Roadblock, and an ARI relating to Niigata prefecture’s Wara rice straw sculptures.
6. Sado Island, Japan: Teams Face-Off in drama stacking, match Noi theatre masks, hang carp streamers, and enter the Sado Gold Mine to collect Tokugawa-era Japanese coins. Pit Stop at the Futatsugame Beach tombolo.
7. Sado Island to Papeete, Tahiti, France: Teams fly from Narita. Rather than focusing on the beach elements of French Polynesia, I’d like to use this leg to explore the Heiva Festival. Teams learn a dance or make intricate costumes for another. The Roadblock sees one team member compete in three coconut-related sports: climbing a coconut tree, throwing a javelin at a suspended coconut, and copra harvesting, in which teams use a stone axe to cut open a pile of coconuts to extract its fiber. Pit Stop in Tahiti’s mountains.
8. Papeete to Rapa Nui, Chile: In a world where the Papeete-Easter Island-Santiago transoceanic flight is back and this season is built around taking advantage of it. Teams build an Umu earth oven and have Tu’u haino ino tattoos applied to their backs, serving as a map to direct them around the Rano Raraku crater. KOR but elimination since the only NEL was in Leg 1.
9. Rapa Nui to Santiago, Chile: A logistical necessity. The KOR last leg was strictly to allow for filming and teams to get on the next day’s Rapa Nui-Santiago flight. Hopefully this is better than past Santiago legs (and I don’t have high hopes for TAR36’s visit). Teams earn money as Chinchineros, memorize Pablo Neruda poems, and face a seafood market Detour where they either stack prickly sea urchins or fold seaweed into Cochayuyo cubes.
10. Santiago to Bogotá, Colombia: Another attempt to make up for past visits that didn’t do the country justice. Teams start the leg by playing Tejo against each other, aiming their discs at targets with the other teams’ faces. Teams then depart based on the cumulative scores against them. Tasks pay homage to Bogota’s nickname, the “Athens of South America,” the gold Muisca Tunjo zoomorph sculptures (with a larger-than-life puzzle), and Colombian gastronomy.
11. Bogotá to Medellín & Guatapé, Colombia: I have a soft spot for these cities (and, like Santiago, am wary of the upcoming visits). Teams go on a walking graffiti tour in Comuna Trece, choose between making and selling arepas or decorating for the Medellín flowers festival, and climb up the Piedra del Peñol to spot the Pit Stop before rappelling down and kayaking across the Guatapé reservoir to reach it.
12. Medellín to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma: Teams calculate the value of beef at the largest cattle market on earth, tune banjos at the American Banjo Museum, navigate the Oklahoma City Underground, and honor to the 39 tribes of Oklahoma at the First Americans Museum before finishing on the grounds of the Vien Giac Buddhist Temple in Northeast Oklahoma City (not too much in terms of parks or landmarks that offer private-like spaces).
