The Amazing Online Race

A Review of The Race

Once again, teams arrive in a chat room. They leave all at the same time with the first clue in their hands. The first leg sets in. They are directed to Disney.com and asked to find about the occupation of Lumiere, the candle, in the movie Beauty and the Beast. They all did the first task with no sweat. But then, the never dying confusion sets in again. Players encounter their first Detour. 2 classic video games they must play. Pac-man and Hexagon. Some teams find this hard and some teams do not. But still, teams one by one, begin to get lost. They do not know where to go. Majority have passed the first pit stop and continued leg 2. This is where all of them get lost and one by one decided to quit.

Players get mad at each other and even at the host. many quit leg 2 and only a few continued. More than half were out and half were playing. Teams form alliances between them at the pit stops but one team just keeps on going. Team World Challenge. As team World Challenge reaches leg 3, a twist (which the other players will find unfair) sets in. What the players do not know is that the first person who reaches the third pit stop will be given the clue to leg 5 at once. This team will bypass all the tasks which were in leg 4. Team World Challenge was the first in pit stop number 3 causing him a great lead with the players.

Teams fight for the lead as pit stops empty with players and leads the players trapped within legs 3-4. Nobody can move. They all find the tasks so hard and confusing. They start again to give up. One by one, teams quit the race. 3 tams quit leaving only a few teams eligible for the win.

They were too late. team World Challenge was already in leg 5. He made it through the finish line and he was the first one to arrive there. Team World Challenge, Taylor, a 15 year old student from USA wins the title of The Amazing Online Race.

Crossing the Finish Line

Suddenly, crossing the finish line became an issue as Team World Challenge crossed it a second just before the 3 hour mark. This "3 hour mark" is when the players are taking too long to play the race. at exactly 10pm EST, the race will stop weather there is a winner or there is no winner. Team World Challenge amazingly crossed the finish line at 11:00:54pm. If he could have gone later for a few seconds, he would have lost and there would be no winner.

What is the 3 hour mark? As I said, it is a 2 hour game. If a player exceeds playing the game more than 2 hours, then they have exceeded the 3 hour mark.
