Ultimate Tag

Ultimate Tag is an American sports entertainment obstacle course competition television series that aired on Fox from May 20 to July 29, 2020.

The format is based on the game of tag and involves contestants running through various indoor obstacle courses while professional taggers attempt to catch them.

It has similarities to parkour championship World Chase Tag and the game show American Gladiators.

In episode 8, some of the new taggers in the men's match are released from the second floor of the course on the opposite end to stop contestants hiding in the far corner, thus increasing the difficulty of lasting the round.

Dome Tag takes place on a two-tiered, dome-shaped jungle gym that hangs 30 feet (approximately nine meters) above the ground.

Instead of participants wearing harnesses, there is a giant air cushion below the dome to catch them when they either intentionally or unintentionally fall.

The contestant must negotiate the course and press a plunger at the top of the "Summit" to stop the clock.

The contestant with the lower score goes first, and at the end of their run, one second is added to their time for every point they were trailing by at the start of this round.

In addition to airing on Fox in the United States, the series is simulcasted by CTV in Canada,[4] and was subsequently picked up by Family Channel.
