LINK TO COMPLETE RULE BOOK

Survivor Hoboken will be played similar to your favorite reality TV show Survivor without the cameras, grueling conditions, and living together. The game will run over the course of one week starting on a Monday at 7:00 PM and going until Sunday. There will be 1 to 2 tribal councils per day in which people will be continuously eliminated from the game until we are down to a final 3. Tribal Councils and challenges will be held in NON working hours (outside of Monday-Friday 9 to 5) and may be held in person or via Google Meets. 

There may be hidden immunity idols, backstabbing, and twists! If you’ve ever dreamed of being on Survivor or love the game of Survivor, this is your chance to play! This is designed to play the game of Survivor that we all know and love and bring people together in the community. 

This is not a video production, no show will be produced from this. You will be required to sign a waiver.
