From this, he deduces that Adam opened Twitter for the first time in a while, and so must have just sat down and opened Twitter after boarding a train with nothing to do but wait. With the time stamp on the Tweet, he works out the exact train Adam (and Sam) just boarded and from what station. A caption appears stating "Ben is exactly right".

[[spoiler:Ben realizes that he can change to an infrequent train in order to get Adam stranded away from his territory if the chasers catch up, but only discovers this as his train is pulling into the station he needs to change at, completely forgetting that he doesn't have enough coins to take the new train. He draws a challenge, and it's basically one of the best he could get: a curse that instantly gives him 1500 free coins but triples his challenge veto period for the remainder of his run. Those coins are enough to get him to his new destination so far out of the way that he's won by the time Sam and Adam actually catch up to him.]]

** One gambit was present in Season 9 Episode 6. [[spoiler:After having ran to Steffisburg from Thun to hide, Adam's strategy relied on Sam and Ben asking the "five words, one rhyming with your town" question early on the run, this question also having been asked early in the previous two runs. This question allowed Adam to send hints that are detrimental to the seekers, who discarded Thun due to it not rhyming with any of the words he sent and Steffisburg because he couldn't have arrived in its station on time.]]

* AwesomeButImpractical: In the European tag game, the rules technically allowed for a player to board an airplane, which would likely make them impossible to catch. However, affording it would have required so many challenges that the player would almost certainly be caught.

** Spending coins on dice to roll for curses in ''Hide + Seek'' seems like it'd add intrigue and risk, especially since it's the deterrent to the Seekers asking too many questions, but in the final game the randomness far outweighs the dramatic benefit. It doesn't help that the very low valued curses are practically useless, and since it's always possible to roll 1's on every die it becomes incredibly hard to actually get one that will help. Comes to a head in the finale, where [[spoiler:Adam]] manages to win the entire game without spending a single coin on curses.

** Episodes four and five do the reveals on the graphic map for different reasons. For Sam in episode four, [[spoiler:it's because the chasers went almost directly to the location he was hiding in and was just one stop down the line, and Sam starts panicking and accidentally gives away that he thinks they're already in the endgame.]] For Adam in episode five, [[spoiler:it's after his victory, revealing that the last place that Sam and Ben thought he could be located was ''nearly 30 miles away'' from where he was actually hiding.]]

** In Season 9, [[spoiler:much attention is drawn during Sam's run to Ben and Adam not wanting to let Sam get over 250 coins as it drastically increases his chances of pulling one of the best curses in the game, that being the one that allows him to move his hiding spot. Their aggressive playstyle leaves Sam with 205 coins and nowhere near pinning down his location, but he panics when Ben and Adam get into his area and rolls the dice early. The curse that Sam gets is to fill in the holes in Swiss cheese, which is one of the worst he could possibly get for that value (rolling a 9 on 4 dice) - not only is it an incredibly easy challenge to do, but Ben and Adam were across the street from a cheese shop at the time - meaning that Sam wastes all his coins for nothing.]]
