 Only given a word puzzle, teams had to figured out their next location, once doing so they could go to the airport to book tickets to Baku,Azerbaijan. Upon arrival to Baku, teams needed to make their way to Fountains Square.

**Choice A:** *Crumbs*
Team had to travel by foot to Passage 145. Once there, teams needed to sample various desserts made by the pastry chef of Passage 145, eating as much as possible as quickly as possible. If teams ate the required number of deserts within the given time period, they would receive their next clue.

Aidan D, Kongo W, and Nolan K were the only ones to complete this Detour.

**Choice B:** *Cuts*
Teams had to travel by foot to Coffee Moffie. Once there, teams needed to assist the bakers in rolling and cutting dough to produce cookies for the café while being timed and scored for accuracy. Once teams created an acceptable number of cookies, they would receive their next clue.

Charlie R, Daniel T, Ethan H, Issy J, Michael D, Sarah G, and Sean C completed this Detour. Back in Fountains Square was the U-Turn, due to the U-Turn Vote, Issy J and Kongo W were U-Turned. Both Issy and Kongo used their Express Passes to bypass the U-Turn.

 Teams had to travel by foot into Baku's Old City and find Maiden Tower to receive their next clue.

 Due to safety issues, the Roadblock was shut down by the Azerbaijani Police. As a result, teams were automatically given their next clue.

 Teams had to travel by foot to Baku Boulevard and search the plaza for a set of puzzle stations. Once they correctly assembled a puzzle of the flag of Azerbaijan, they would be allowed to check in.
