Eight Competitors, Seven Challenges, One Sole Survivor!

The Competitors:

 

The Challenges (in order of completion):

Note:  In case of a tie, overall performance will determine the winner.

That's A-Mazing!  Competitors need to work through the twists and turns of a complex maze, in search for the exit. Competitors must pick up four bags of puzzle pieces (designated by color) along the way.  Once out of the maze, Competitors simply solve the puzzle with the pieces collected.  Speed and Intellect are important to complete the challenge. Last to complete the challenge is eliminated from the game.

Beam Me Up!  Competitors better hope they have a good sense of balance as they work through an obstacle course of balance beams, climbing ropes, and rope swings.  While maneuvering the obstacle course, Competitors must collect colored rings along the way.  Competitor must have all five of their rings before heading to the finish line.  Agility, Strength, Speed, and Endurance will all be needed to complete this challenge.   Last to complete the challenge is eliminated from the game.

Oh Knock it off! Competitors mount a 10 foot high pedestal platform, armed with fugal sticks. Through one-on-one matchups, Competitors engage in combat. The goal is to knock the opponent off the pedestal.  Strength and Agility are definitely the keys here for completing the challenge. The Competitor that loses the most matchups is eliminated from the game.

Swim or Sink Competitors swim out to floating stations to collect five bags of coins of varying weights, one at a time. As each bag is collected, it needs to be deposited in the Competitors treasure chest, located on the beach. Strength, Endurance, and Speed will be needed to complete this challenge.  Last to complete the challenge is eliminated from the game.

Concentration Salvation!  A sharp mind will be a competitors best friend as they memorize symbol patterns at five different puzzle stations. Once the pattern is memorized, the competitor needs to recreate each pattern at the finish line. Intellect and Speed are important to complete the challenge.  The last to complete all five patterns will be eliminated from the game.

Slingshot Splat!  Competitors maneuver on rope bridges to get to five different slingshot stations.  From each station, Competitors launch pieces of fruit (apple, oranges, and grapefruits) from a mounted slingshot to break glass targets. Competitors might be battling to get across the same rope bridge in route to the stations.  Competitors can also launch water balloons at opponents to try and knock them off the rope bridges.  Accuracy, Strength, Speed and Intellect are important to complete the challenge.  The last one to break all ten of their targets and cross the finish line will be eliminated.

Ready, Aim, Slime! Competitors need to  aim water guns at their opponents target zone, attempting to fill a five foot tube to the top with water. Did we mention that the Competitors are running on a treadmill?  The faster you run, the better the water pressure!  Speed, Accuracy, Strength, and Endurance are needed to complete this challenge.  Once filled, the losing opponent is slimed by lime jello, and is eliminated from the game. 


Congratulations goes to the Sole Survivor!

Play out the challenges, then using the Competitor's rankings (worst to first = A-H), solve for the final coordinates, and go find the prize!  North 40 3A.BCD West 075 5E.FGH  Good Luck!
