The race heads to the historic and magical city of Budapest, Hungary, the birthplace of illusionist Harry Houdini. The city’s legacy of mystery informs the challenges, beginning with a puzzling Fast Forward that will require one team to think like the master escape artist himself to get ahead of the pack.

While one team tackles the Fast Forward, the others find themselves in a frantic race against the clock involving a horse-drawn carriage. In a leg that tests both mental acuity and old-world navigation, the pressure mounts with every passing minute. Which team will pull off the greatest escape and avoid elimination?
