How to play Endurance

The Right To Stay Challenge

Shortly after you arrive, the group of 20 contestants will compete in the first Endurance game, called the Right To Stay Challenge. As the name implies, this game eliminates a group of contestants from continuing any further in the game. The game is a test of endurance.

Choosing teams
After the Right To Stay Challenge, the remaining players will be partnered up. Each team consists of one boy and one girl. The team colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and grey.
After the teams are decided, they each receive one pyramid piece of the Endurance Pyramid. To win the game, one team must possess all of the pieces.

Endurance Mission

With the teams now assigned, they begin competing in Endurance Missions. This is usually a test of skill. The team that wins the Endurance Mission wins a Samadhi that contains something that will have a negative effect on one team during the Temple Mission, and the winners of the Endurance Mission get to choose which team has to play with its effect. However, it is customary, that when three teams remain, the winners of the Samadhi have the right to not give its effect to a team, leaving a level playing field for the final Temple Mission.

Samadhi

The teams compete for a Samadhi fairly often through the entire game. All of them may have a negative impact on another team. The word Samadhi means "contemplation."

Temple mission
This mission is usually one of endurance. The team that wins a Temple Mission usually earns the right to choose two other teams to send to the "Temple of Fate", the elimination challenge.

Temple of Fate
The two teams sent to the Temple of Fate bring with them all pyramid pieces they have won up to that point. In a variant of the Rock, Paper, Scissors intransitive game, the teams select fire, wood, or water to defeat one another in a best 2 out of 3 match, e.g.,

fire burns wood (fire wins)
wood floats on water (wood wins)
water puts out fire (water wins)

The first team to win two rounds wins the challenge and the right to stay in the game. The losers are immediately eliminated. The losing team will give their pyramid pieces to any team of their choice, with a farewell note read to the remaining contestants.

Pyramid pieces

The pyramid pieces play an important part in the game, since one team must possess all of the pieces to win the game. Your goal will be to collect as many puzzle pieces on your way to the finale.

You will play a game of luck using your puzzle pieces until one team has all of the puzzle pieces and becomes the Endurance Champs!

Final Challenge

For the Final Challenge, both teams go to the Temple of Fate with all the pieces they have won. These pieces are now used as chips to play a shell game type challenge.

The team with fewer pieces starts by placing pieces by a group of pyramids, one of which has the gold pyramid under it. That team may claim as many as it wishes but must leave at least one pyramid unclaimed. The team with more pieces must claim the pyramids that its opponent did not claim. At this point, the gold pyramid is revealed, and the team that has claimed it wins all the pieces that were played on the board. If teams have the same number of pieces the team that had fewer pieces the round before places first. If teams are tied in first round, the team that won the final mission places their pieces first

There are three pyramids to start the game, and one more is added every round thereafter. The team that gets all the pyramid pieces wins the challenge, and the game.

[Dawn Meehan]

I used to watch this show. Fun stuff lol. Good luck people!

[Flawless]

It was really cuuute.

[BioDork]

Not big into pure luck games.

[Ant10a]

This game is not "pure luck"
This games challenges are only endurance and skill. Yes there is luck based eliminations, but it's how it works. If you are good enough in challenges or the social game, you wont need so much luck.
