rules

The rules of the game may seem simple, but the game? That’s anything but simple.

First and foremost, your safety is our top priority. We’re here for a competitive experience, but no dangerous behavior will be tolerated. If a task or showdown involves any physical activity, we’ve made sure it’s safe for everyone involved. If you’re hurt or feeling unwell, let the hosts know immediately. We’ll pause the game to assess if you’re fit to continue. Your health and safety come first!

We also want everyone to feel safe emotionally. Respect each other at all times. Any form of harassment, bullying, or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated. If you’re feeling uncomfortable or need support, any of the hosts will be ready to help you. Remember, this is a competition, but kindness and respect are non-negotiable. Play hard, but keep it fair.

Here’s a big one: no cheating or manipulating the game. This means no outside help, no trying to hack the system, and no unfair tricks to get ahead. If you cheat, you’re out–simple as that. We want everyone to have an equal chance, and the only way to do that is by playing fair. Also, you’re here to play, so no contact with the outside world. As stated in each interview, if you need to use your phone, you will be permitted to use it with admin supervision.

Now, when it comes to the showdowns: follow the instructions exactly as they’re given. If you skip a step or fail to complete a task as directed, your progress won’t count. You have to play it by the book.

Let's talk about deletions: you’re here to win, but not everyone can make it to the end. At the end of each round, someone will be deleted. If someone is deleted from the game, there is to be no game talk with that person whatsoever, in order to keep things fair for all players still in the game. If you break the rules, there will be consequences. If you cheat, break the rules, or act in a way that disrupts the game, you will be penalized. If it’s serious enough, you’ll be deleted. 

Hosts are here to keep things running smoothly, so if there’s ever a problem or dispute, trust that we’ll handle it. Our decisions are final. Phone are confiscated for the duration of the game to protect its integrity. No laptops, tablets, or smart watches are permitted.

Failure to abide by the rules may result in penalties, removal from the game, or removal from the property.
