Survivor is not overly physical and suits people of all age sand fitness levels.
Each of the Survivor challenges are based on team challenges that include communication, problem solving and time management. In X-Word, tribes must use a handheld GPS and scour the island to find hidden objects and words to complete a custom crossword puzzle. In Holey Bucket, tribes must race to transfer water with a small bucket full of holes to fill their vessel and float a key that will open a lock box.
In Perfect Pairs, tribes will face a memory test in a relay to correctly match items on wooden tiles.
In Knockout, tribes must use a 3-person slingshot to fire sandbags at a wooden tower before using the blocks to complete a 3D puzzle.
The purpose of the “buffs” given to each player is to serve as a distinctive identifier and symbol of belonging to a specific tribe within the game. These buffs, which can be worn as armbands or headbands, are designed in the colors representing each tribe. Through these buffs, players are visually connected to their tribe and it helps create a sense of unity and camaraderie within the tribe.
Additionally, the buffs play a practical role during challenges. The ultimate goal of each team is to acquire as many Immunity Necklaces as possible to increase their chances of becoming the sole survivor. Thus, players wear their buffs as a visual representation of their team’s identity and strive to work together to win challenges and secure immunity for their tribe.
