Tag Across Europe (2)

***Tag EUR It 2*** is the seventh season of Jet Lag: The Game. The season is a rematch of season 3, Tag EUR It, and it uses the same set of rules, although there are different challenges, opposite rotations, and rotated end locations. It first premiered in Los Angeles on August 25th, 2023, and its last episode aired on October 11th, 2023.

## About the game

The season began filming on July 8, 2023, and concluded around July 10. The first two episodes premiered at the Harmony Gold Theater in Los Angeles, California, on August 25. Sam, Adam, and Ben recorded an episode of The Layover at the premier [titled "The Layover — Live from the Jet Lag Season 7 Premiere", released on August 30], where they talked to some people and recorded their Q&A.

Tag EUR It 2 is a game of tag across Western Europe, where the runner will attempt to reach their goal while avoiding being tagged by the two Chasers. When the Runner is tagged, positions rotate. The runner becomes a chaser, and the next Chaser becomes a Runner, and the new Runner will now have to try and reach *their* end location by the end of the 72 hours, starting from where they are. If nobody's goal has been reached after 72 hours (3 days), whoever's win area the Runner is in wins. For example, in Tag EUR It (1): Ben was the Runner at the end of the 72 hours, but he was in Adam's win area (just by 3 miles) at the end. So, Adam won.

The chasers have unlimited budget while chasing, while the Runner must spend coins to travel; all runners start with 2,000 coins and gain 300 coins at the beginning of each run.

The starting runner was Ben, while Sam and Adam were the starting chasers. The starting location was Charleville-Mezieres, France. Ben's goal is to reach Zermatt, Switzerland, Sam's goal was to reach Jersey, UK, and Adam's goal was to reach Borkum, Germany.

## Shop

This season differs from previous seasons as players use **coins** that can be spent on The Shop. Coins can be earned by challenges. Each runner starts with 2,000 coins and gains 300 coins when they become the runner. Runners must spend coins to travel, which is measured by time instead of distance, except for walking. Runners may also spend coins on various powerups.
