Players will be divided into two tribes.
These tribes will be chosen by the gamemaster.
These tribes will compete against each other in challenges.
The losing tribe of each challenge will attend Tribal Council, where they will vote out a member.
A tribe swap may occur at any point during the game to shake things up.
Eventually, the tribes will merge into one group when there are between 7 and 10 players remaining, where contestants will now compete in individual immunity challenges.
Challenges will take place daily and will test a combination of physical, mental, and strategic skills.
Before the challenge takes place, each team will have the opportunity to ask questions; however, there may be some challenges where contestants will not have the opportunity to ask questions.
Pre-merge challenges will be tribe-based, with the winning tribe earning immunity and the losing tribe going to Tribal Council.
If tribes have uneven numbers, there may be instances where some players must sit out and cheer on their team.
Post-merge challenges will be individual immunity challenges, with the winner safe from elimination.
Some challenges may include puzzles, endurance, team coordination, balance, memory, or trivia.
In the event of a tie in a challenge, a tiebreaker will be determined by the gamemaster.
The gamemaster will oversee and ensure fairness in all challenges.
If a team is deemed to be cheating in the challenge by the gamemaster, they can be penalized in that challenge, or if the infraction is severe, they may be given a loss and sent to Tribal Council.
Tribal Council can take place in person or via Google Meet.
If Tribal Council is taking place via Google Meet, contestants are REQUIRED to have their cameras on. If they do not, without a good reason, they will not be able to vote, and their vote will not count. However, they can still be voted out by the other contestants.
Regardless of format, players will cast their vote via a text message to the gamemaster.
Once your text message is sent, you CANNOT change your vote.
If the gamemaster sees that the message is edited, the vote will not count.
If you have a Hidden Immunity Idol or advantage, you can play it at any time during Tribal Council.
Just like Jeff Probst, the gamemaster will ask if anyone has any advantages or Hidden Immunity Idols and would like to play it—now would be the time to do so.
Once the gamemaster says, “I will read the votes,” NO advantages can be played.
Tiebreaker Rule: If there is a tie, everyone except the two tied players will revote.
If the revote also results in a tie, those two players are SAFE, and the remaining at-risk players will draw rocks to determine who goes home.
Any player who played an idol or has individual immunity is also safe.
If you still have an idol but did not play it before the tie, it is too late and CANNOT be used.
In-person tribals will actually be drawing rocks, while Google Meet tribals be done via a random name spinner.
If you are voted out, you will have a quick exit interview with the gamemaster.
If Tribal Council is held via Google Meet, you must stay on the call for a few extra minutes before leaving.
If you are voted out while holding an advantage, that advantage is eliminated from the game.
Once eliminated, you are expected to leave the team group chat and refrain from interfering in the game.
While there is nothing physically preventing you from being around the other players, we ask that you respect the integrity of the game and refrain from interfering once eliminated.
If you are eliminated at a stage in the game where you make the jury, you will still be invited to attend Tribal Council and the final two immunity challenges.
If you are on the jury, we ask that you do not interact with the players at Tribal Council.
If Tribal Council is held via Google Meet, jury members must join the call but remain muted with their cameras on.
The final remaining players will face the jury at Final Tribal Council.
Each finalist will have the opportunity to make their case for why they deserve to win.
Just like old-school Survivor, each jury member will have the chance to ask one question or make one statement—nothing more to the finalists.
After questioning, each jury member will cast a final vote for the winner.
The player with the most votes from the jury will be crowned the Sole Survivor.
If there is a tie between two players, the other finalist will cast the deciding vote to determine the winner.
If there is a tie between all three finalists, there will be a revote by the jury.
If the revote still results in a tie, a challenge will determine the winner of the game.
If a player misses a challenge, they will not receive any advantages or exemptions.
If a player misses Tribal Council, they cannot vote but can still be voted out.
If a player shows up late after the vote begins, they will NOT be able to vote.
If team members are in communication with the late player, a 3-minute grace period may be allowed at the gamemaster’s discretion.
If a jury member misses Final Tribal Council, they will lose their right to vote for the winner.
The gamemaster reserves the right to remove a player from the game if repeated absences disrupt the integrity of the competition.
There may be advantages in this game, such as Hidden Immunity Idols.
If you find an advantage, you MUST text the gamemaster immediately and send a picture of the advantage as proof of possession.
The gamemaster will like your message to indicate they have seen it but will NOT verify whether or not the advantage is real.
The gamemaster MUST know who has the advantages at all times.
If you give the advantage to someone else, you MUST text in a group chat with the gamemaster and the recipient.
The gamemaster will like the message to verify they have seen the transfer.
If you are voted out with an advantage, that advantage is fully eliminated from the game.
The last Tribal Council where advantages can be played is when there are 5 players left in the game.
If Tribal Council is in person, you must have the advantage in your possession.
If Tribal Council is held via Google Meet, you must have the advantage in your possession and show it on camera.
Advantages can be played up until the gamemaster completes saying “I will read the votes” and starts reading the first vote.
This game is meant to be fun for all players.
Harassment or physical violence of any kind will not be tolerated.
If a player is deemed to be a risk to the safety of others, the gamemaster has the right to remove them from the game.
