Round 1: Flight Control

Using a team of 4, players must move a small balloon figurine from the starting line to the finish line, using only chopsticks. Players can only use one hand to hold the chopsticks and may not move their feet once they’ve received the balloon (unless specifically asked to during an obstacle). If the balloon drops, or a judge determines a player has moved after the pass off or utilized their other hand, all players on that team must return to the start and begin again. Teams will receive points based on how quickly they complete the task.

Round 3: Tug of War

Teams will be selected at random to face off bracket style in a classic tug of war event. All four players on each team will work together to get the middle flag across their team line. Teams will continue competing in a bracket style format until a winner is determined, with points being based on how far a team successfully makes its way through the bracket.  Teams will be disqualified for unsportsmanlike or unsafe behavior.

Round 2: The Balloon Gauntlet

Part 1: Charades: This part requires 2 team members who must each successfully retrieve a clue and correctly act/guess it out. Top contenders move on to part 2.

Part 2: Sky High Scramble: This part requires the other 2 team members to race to retrieve their bag of puzzle pieces. They must then return back to their tables and solve the word scramble. The top 2 teams will move on to the final round. 

Part 3: Head to Head Tile Flip: Teams of 4 have two minutes to flip as many tiles as they can to their designated color, while the other team is frantically flipping the tiles back to their side/color. Tiles must be flipped one at a time, one handed.  At the end of 2 minutes, the time will be called. The winning team will have the most tiles flipped to their color.

Round 4: Mystery Relay

Teams will compete in a mystery relay event that will be unveiled and demonstrated at the start of the challenge
