Survivor University

Survivor is a collection of multi-faceted outdoor games which focus on the group dynamic, strategic game play, forming alliances, and teamwork. Hosted by professional actors who bring all the game show host vibes you could hope for, this is an entertaining and challenging few hours of fun! Hold this epic event on campus or in another outdoor location of your choice and get your students away from their electronic devices.

The group is split into smaller “tribes” for the duration of the activity as they battle it out for ultimate supremacy. Each tribe will be faced with a collection of challenges that have been designed to encourage critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, resilience, and communication. How do you use bamboo sticks to create a contraption to retrieve a puzzle. Or how do piece together a giant foam puzzle to make two different shapes? Are you the fastest eater with the strongest stomach?

Teams begin the game with 5 Scrabble letter tiles and attempt to earn more throughout the duration of the activity. They’ll also receive an Immunity Idol which can be used on one challenge of their choice. Their Scrabble tiles can also be used to purchase head starts and advantages. But is it worth spending a point to gain an advantage? And the best twist of all? If a tribe places last in a challenge they have to give one of their tiles to another team!

The final challenge will see teams attempt to make the highest scoring word they can with all the Scrabble letter tiles they have earned, won and traded throughout the day. Finally the scores are revealed and the winners are announced! Survivor is an awesome orientation, team bonding, or ice breaker university event that students will be raving about for years.
