Road Blocks of "The Amazing Race 28" Quiz

Answer: A cave

Teams started their second day of the race early in the morning at the caves in San Juan Teotihuacán. There, one member of each team needed to descend into the caves and perform an archaeological dig, searching for coloured fragments in a sandbox before using them to build a traditional face mask. If they could get the correct thirteen pieces placed on their example piece, they could trade it for their next clue and head to the Pit Stop. Kurt, Matt, Erin, Sheri, Tyler, Zach, Scott, Marty, Darius, Jessica, and Burnie were selected to finish this task.

Answer: Emeralds

Teams flew to Cartagena, Colombia in Leg 2, bringing themselves out to the city's outskirts to find the mud volcano known as El Totumo whereupon one member of each pairing had to strip down to their bathingsuits and dive into the warm mud therein. Once submerged, participants could feel around in the mud for a satchel containing a large gemstone and, if it happened to be a green emerald, they could bring it to the women at the nearby lake and then swim out to collect their next clue.

This task was done by Brodie, Dana, Ashley, Korey, Rachel, Blair, Joslyn, Cole, Brittany, Hagan, and Cameron.

Answer: Ten

Reaching the Palace of Nations on the grounds of the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, one member of each team needed to get acquainted with the flags of the world by using a provided map and locating those belonging to the ten founding members of the United Nations-- Belarus, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, India, Liberia, The Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Turkey, and Uruguay-- and providing copies of those flags to the judge. Korey, Kurt, Burnie, Cole, Matt, Rachel, Blair, and Jessica were selected for this challenge.

Answer: A yeti

Ascending Aiguilles Rouges in Chamonix, France, team members went paragliding over the French Alps in Leg 5, taking off after a running leap from Planpraz. In addition to needing to get enough momentum to take off in the deep snow, team members needed to keep their eyes peeled for a yeti waving a French flag at the bottom of their take-off point and communicate this information to the attendant waiting with their partners at the end of the flight.

After this, they could head to the next Pit Stop.

Answer: Sheri

Heading out into the Armenian countryside on a highway near Mount Ararat, the seven racing teams needed to choose one racer per grouping to select a Lada and bring it up onto a mechanic's ramp for servicing. With provided instructions and tools, they needed to drain the car's oil, replace the oil filter, and replenish the vehicle with new oil to get their next clue and direct their handiwork to the next Pit Stop at the Temple of Garni.

Sheri notably completed this task, but her struggle with the oil filter dropped herself and Cole from the front of the pack to last place.

Answer: One

Although Zach, Ashley, Kurt, Sheri, Dana, Korey, and Scott all completed this task, it was Dana, a trained dancer, who took it down in one attempt, pulling herself and Matt out of a near-bottom position and allowing them to check into the Pit Stop in fourth place for this leg. Ashley managed to get it done on her second try. Ending off a lengthy two leg streak of tasks with no formal Pit Stop, this tough dance challenge involved visiting the Rustaveli National Theater to complete a dance to the approval of the institution's choreographer.

Answer: True

Because they won Leg 6, Brodie and Kurt came into possession of the coveted Express Pass and were able to use it to skip the Road Block encountered at Atlantis The Palm in Leg 8. For this task, team members descended into a shark tank in the Aquaventure Water Park in Palm Jumeirah.

There, participants collected a cylindrical puzzle that they could bring to the surface and solve to get their next clue. Brodie, who elected to complete this Road Block, used the Express Pass to stay ahead of the other teams.

They ended up winning the leg as a result.

Answer: True

Flying to the island of Bali in Leg 9, the six remaining teams hit the beaches, finding one physically demanding Road Block task pertaining to the salt industry and then traveling further along the route to find a surprise second Road Block task. As is typical in legs featuring two Road Blocks, the team member who did not complete the first Road Block was required to complete the second, meaning that while Kurt, Burnie, Korey, Rachel, Cole, and Matt did the first, Ashley, Korey, Brodie, Sheri, Dana, and Zach had to do the second.

Answer: The Berlin Wall

Visiting a theme park dedicated to more than ten dozen unique international landmarks, the final four teams chose one member to go on a world tour, bringing a fake passport around and solving riddles to fill the pages with stamps. If they could identify the Pyramids of Egypt, the Colosseum, the Taj Mahal, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the merlions of Singapore, and St. Peter's Square they would find the stamps they needed and, if placed correctly in their passport book, they could trade it in for their next clue. Tyler, Dana, Burnie, and Sheri were elected to take this trip in order to even out the Road Block totals for each pairing.

Answer: Winery

While teams started Leg 12 with a Road Block that involved jumping off the side of a building, the last task of the game forced the remaining teammates (who didn't complete the leap) to complete the typical memory challenge for the race. In this final challenge, team members were given numerous wine barrel lids with letters written on them and told to provide the correct order of cities visited on the race based on hashtags provided in their clues from the previous eleven legs. If they could get them all correct, they could run to the finish line.
