I'm happy going first with Icey barring any firm preferences. Should me and Tiger (Pearl and Wendi) go fifth then? Or does anyone have any better ideas?

Which leaves us with Benjamin & Melinda and Hannes & Meredith. If anyone would like to make a change it's allowed to throw it in.

Min Hee: "You have decided on a playing order."
Odessa: "About the Challenge itself: you will try to go and travel a full lap around the world in 80 countries!"
Min Hee: "You will start off in Ghana, which lies in Africa, slightly north on the point where the Prime Meridian and the Equator meet."
Odessa: "You will, in the order that you just decided on, take turns in moving to an adjacent country to travel to, with no second visits allowed. After that the next duo will travel in the same fashion, et cetera."
Min Hee: "To overcome the oceans and seas, we have defined a definition of 'adjacent' for a couple of situations."
Odessa: "Countries sharing a border directly, such as China-India, are considered adjacent."
Min Hee: "Travelling overseas within a continent, like Japan-South Korea, is only allowed when: 1) there is no possible route by not going overseas (South Korea-China can go through North-Korea), and 2) the distance between the countries is less than 500 km."
Odessa: "Travelling overseas between different continents is only allowed within a horizontally or vertically adjacent 'square'; (made by circles or latitude and meridians)."
Min Hee: "Before we start off; I've got 8 envelopes here. One per duo."
Odessa: "Each envelope has 2 country names in them, one worth §10.000 and the other worth §20.000."
Min Hee: "The route you take has to go through these countries in order to add the money to your pile."
Odessa: "However: only one of these can earn you money, if you first travel through the §10.000, the §20.000 will be worthless, and vice versa."
Min Hee: "To finish this Challenge, you have to end the route back in Ghana and make it a circle. If you finish in 75-85 countries, all the money you picked up will go to the Jetsetters."
Odessa: "Per country under 75 or over 85 however, §10.000 will be taken and put in the Assassin's stockpile instead."
Min Hee: "There are also ways to earn Clues this Challenge. The first way is to finish in exactly 80 countries for a Clue for the entire group."
Odessa: "The other way, which earns you a private Clue, is to make a move which makes finishing the route impossible.
Min Hee: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask them so we can clear them up."
Odessa: "Good luck and lots of wisdom."

Question: Does this mean we can't go from the contiguous USA to Canada to Alaska? But we can also skip Canada and move from the USA to any country adjacent to Hawaii and Alaska?

It does. In the top left corner Russia connects to Canada and the USA.
So can my group travel form Denmark to Canada via Greenland Or is it considered an independent 'country' in this challenge?
They're different colours. So I'd consider them different countries.
Edit: Greenland has it's own capital as well. So they're different countries for sure.
Some people noted me in the PM that they didn't fully understand the Challenge yet. So look and behold, an example.
In this example we start off in Kiev, Ukraine, friends. First playing are Oliver-Iris. Their first move could be to go to Russia. After that move, it's the turn of Eugene-Wendell, they travel to Georgia. Then Freya-Jayda play, they go to Azerbaijan. Ethan-Kiki then move to Armenia.
Pearl-Wendi then go to Iran. Euphelia-Lucas move to Turkmenistan, Hannes-Meredith go to Kazakhstan and Benjamin-Melinda go to Kyrgyzstan from there. From there on Oliver-Iris play again, then Eugene-Wendell, and so forth.
Welp this is one route I suggest. Considering that we can only visit each country once. Is there a way for us to go to Latin America without crossing the US twice?
