after EVERYONE (excluding two) has finished bickering and scrambling around, two steps forward and addresses the contestants, a mischievous sparkle in their eye.

“alright, everyone! enough chitchat, time to get serious! your challenge for today is simple… just grab the flag. easy, right? but, there’s a catch!”

two gestures dramatically to two landmarks looming in the distance—an icy, jagged mountain and a searing, bubbling volcano.

“there are two flags! one sits at the peak of ice mountain, buried under layers of snow and ice. the other, well, that one’s waiting for you at the top of lava mountain, right in the heart of the volcano!”

the teams exchange glances, some looking excited, others filled with dread. two grins as they go on.

“you’ll need teamwork, strategy, and maybe even some luck to pull this off! choose your path wisely—both mountains have surprises in store. and remember, the first two teams to grab a flag and bring it back here wins!”

with that, two waves a green flag to signal the start of the challenge.
