The Amazing Online Race

A Review of The Race

Season 3 is done and another new season is going to be on soon. In any of the seasons of The Amazing Online race, season 3 is the most frustrating for me to host. Almost all the players are having computer problems right from the start. Anyway, Team Hippo or Rob took the first place from leg 1 to the finish line. He won the race for season 3. You can see his final chat transcripts and how he won in the chat transcripts section.

The race began at 9pm EST and lasted until 12:45am EST. The race was very hard in the part of the players. they faced computer problems and the challenges. They found all of these thing hard and still strived to rush through the finish line. At about 11:30pm, Team Star checked in for leg 3.

When the teams applied for the race, I was reading their applications. It said that they won't quit the race. It's not an option. But they did. Why? Computer Problems! Too bad they can't continue the race because of that. The Season was a great Success after all. Teams were supposed to get their clues in a chat room but they were unable to access it. Only 3 teams have gone in the chartroom. The teams in the chat room have advantage because they were given the first clue first before the other teams. Teams not in the chat room received their clue a minute after the players in the chat room. From here, they went into an amazing online race competing for the win. As the race goes on, frustration sets in. Teams now begin to quit one by one as they get confused by the game. Certain teams did not but most did.

Team Hippo maintained his position as first placer throughout the whole race. He had a lot of difficulty but still maintained his position and won The 3rd season of The Amazing Online Race. Due to certain mistakes by the staff of the game, Team Star, 2nd to arrive was eliminated from the race in leg 3. Because of this, she was awarded second place. After this, teams were very slow and were all staving to finish this race it's at this moment when the teams began to quit one by one. Team Chica, had so many difficulties in the race but still did not quit. Team Chica was not able to cross the finish line however because he passed the3 hour playing mark. Team Chica was playing the race too long. All of the other players were also Stopped because they were playing the race too long already. They were making a 2 hour race in 4 hours. They were namely Team USA, who came very slow but played well, Team Eutopia who quitted the race, and Tim Swift too. Team Indy, Winters and Ditz missed the race. They were placed accordingly to the time they tried to play the race. First, just after team Hippo crossed the finish line, Team Indy read the first clue. It was too late so Team Indy was unable to continue. Then Team Winters tried to play. But was too late too. And lastly, Team Ditz tried to play also, but missed the race.

A couple of weeks from now, 11 more brave souls will embark on a journey through the internet. All people have different personalities. Some quit, some do not, some become confused, some just go along, some loose the race and some are winners.

Will the new 11 players play the 4th season of The Amazing Online Race without a single player having to quit? Will they also encounter the same problems as these persons have encountered? Or will only one person cross the finish line again, leaving everyone behind. Join the race for season 4. Maybe you can do what others cant.

Making The Race

Making this race is no joke. It takes serious preparation and a lot of planning. The staff do plan on the challenges for it not to be dull challenges like question and answer challenges which is very boring to us. We strive to make each Detour, Road Block, Fast Forward and Route info a clue worth reading just like in the real Amazing Race.

Crossing the Finish Line

Team Hippo Crossed the finish line first leaving a huge gap between him and all of the other players. You can read his chat transcripts when he crossed the finish line in the chat transcripts section. When Team Chica was about to cross the finish line, staff prepare for this team's arrival but sadly, computer problems blocks Team Chica from crossing the Finish line. And so did other teams.
