One of my favorite TV shows is The Amazing Race, so when I saw The Race on Big Fish Games, I knew I wanted to give it a try.

The Race is a hidden object game where you travel the globe in search of everything from butterflies to frying pans to golf clubs. Leave no stone unturned as you race against other teams to find the list of objects and advance in the game.

As far as hidden objects games go, there might be better ones out there but The Race does have something to offer causal gamers especially those who are fans of reality TV. You can track you opponent’s progress and there is even a tool that will set back the closest team.

The Race is fun but it is strictly hidden object boards. There doesn’t seem to be any mini-games, which kind of make me sad as the whole race theme could lend itself to some fun ideas.
