Massachusetts Challenge Idea
Slight Spoilers for season 18, episode 3 of Jet Lag: The Game.
Hello my fellow fans of Nebula and Youtuve series Jet lag: The Game. In The Layover for episode 3, Adam and Ben voiced how neither loved the Massachusetts challenge and just kinda accepted that the challenge was going to be easy as well as having multiple different challenge drafts. So as a person born in the greatest state in these United States, Massachusetts, I took it upon myself to make 10 possible drafts for said challenge which I think are funny and in the spirit of the game. This is all in fun and was done to be a fun writing/thought experiment for myself. Let me know your thoughts. If you all enjoy, I could try with other states and see y’all’s thoughts. I have ordered them from my least favorite concept to my favorite.

Celebrate Thanksgiving at Plymouth Rock:
