Game summary[edit | edit source]

Challenge games[edit | edit source]

  • Suit and Untie: Played in two teams of 16 players, each team participates in a multi-stage race. The teams are then split up into three teams — two of four players and one of eight players. The team of eight must race through a ropes course maneuvering themselves through a series of ropes to the end, where they will pass off a shovel to one of the four player teams, who must dig up four bags of puzzle pieces. The final four player team must solve the puzzle. The team that solves their puzzle first wins.
    • Winners: Team Red (Caleb, Cece, Chloe, Chris, Dean, Dustin, Erika, Gia, Hope, Jaylen, Julie, Justin, Liam, Mason, Shareen, & Wade)
  • Speedwagon: Played in five teams of 6 players, teams must race up a large hill to a giant family bicycle. Players must jump into the bicycle and pedal it down the hill to a series of obstacles. Using the spin-steering system, teams must maneuver around the series of obstacles to the finish line. The team that finishes the course in the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Team Julie (Caleb, Dustin, Julie, Lacey, Lenny, & Marco)
  • Hanging in the Balance: Played in seven teams of 4 players, each team has to advance from one platform to the other by using several platforms. Players on each side must work with their partners to balance and advance forward on the bars. The team that advances all of their players from one platform to the other in the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Team Justin (Brian, Chantal, Chloe, & Justin)
  • We Have a Weiner: Played in male/female pairs, players must jump onto a giant hot dog suspended above the water. Players must attempt to hold onto the hot dog to get further down the course. They must then swim around a flag and touch a buoy to stop their time. The team with the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Caleb & Erika
  • Rooftop Race: Played in three teams of 8 players, players must advance from one end of a platform to another that is suspended high above water. Each player has to jump onto a series of roofs on top of houses. As the players advance, the roofs get smaller and smaller, making it harder to fit each player. The team that advance the most players to the finish platform in the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Team Sarah (Bianca, Brian, Caleb, Dean, Jaylen, Julie, Loren, & Sarah)
  • Bounce Ball: Played in two teams of 11 players, players must work as a team to advance an oversized beach ball down a football field into their team goal. Once a team scores a goal, they will score a point and a new set of players from their team will compete. The first team to score three points wins.
    • Winners: Team Orange (Chloe, Chris, Dustin, Erika, Jaylen, Julie, Liam, Mason, Patrick, Sarah, & Wade)
  • Maze the Bar: Played in two teams of 10 players, players must work as a team to find five bags of puzzle pieces in a giant maze. To make things difficult, teams must be chained together at all times. Once a team finds all five bags, they must race to the top of the tower where they must solve the puzzle. The first team to solve the puzzle wins.
    • Winners: Team Red (Asiah, Bianca, Brian, Chloe, Dustin, Jaylen, Justin, Lacey, Lenny, & Liam)
  • Stop, Pop, & Roll: Played as individuals, players are asked a series of trivia questions by host Tyson Kidd, which includes spelling, sports, geography, pop culture, U.S. history, and even past challenges. Players are suspended above the water by three balloons. If they correctly answer a question, they will stay in the game, but if they answer incorrectly, one balloon will be popped. After three incorrect answers, their balloons will be popped, dropped into the water, and eliminated. The last player standing wins.
    • Winners: Justin & Chantal
  • Swing and a Prayer: Played as individuals, players are strapped into a giant swing. When the horn sounds, players must swing back and forth to get enough momentum to knock 20 balls off of a shelf. Once a player knocks them all off, they must unhook and collect the colored balls, which they then must shoot into a basket. The first player to shoot all six balls into their basket wins.
    • Winners: Mason & Dustin
  • Head and Shoulders: Played in two teams of 7 players, players must assemble two poles then use them to transfer one male and one female teammate from one platform to another. Once both players have crossed, the entire team must work together to climb up to a small platform and fit onto the tower with their feet above the highest deck. The first team to get their entire team on or above the top deck wins.
    • Winners: Team Pink (Bianca, Caleb, Chloe, Lacey, Lenny, & Sarah)
  • Water War: Played in same-gender pairs, players are tied to their teammate and must work together to push their opponents off of a platform. The last team standing on the platform scores a point. If two different teams win the first two rounds, they will face off one-one-one in the final round. The first team to score two points wins.
    • Winners: Caleb & Wade and Chantal & Lacey
  • Recallers: Played in male/female pairs, players must swim across a pond to a giant board full of symbols. Players must memorize as many symbols as possible before swimming back across the pond to recreate the board on the other side. The first team to correctly recreate the board wins.
    • Winners: Brian & Lacey

If a player is either knocked out of or steps out of the ring, or if the ball is knocked out of the ring, a new round begins. Players will alternate between offense and defense in each round. The player who has more baskets than their opponent after five rounds wins.
