Contents

This is the first edition of the War of the Worlds series, with War of the Worlds 2 following in the fall of 2019. [4]

Format

This season featured 16 Challenge veterans and 18 prospects - debuting Challenge competitors from around the world. For the first ten episodes, the players competed in male/female pairs. Each veteran player paired with a prospect of the opposite sex. The Prospect picked their alumni partner based on the finish order of the opening "Impending Dune" challenge. Once in their pairs, the main phase of the game began. The main elements of the game are as follows:

During the 10th episode of the season, the 7 remaining pairs were disbanded, with the 14 remaining players playing the rest of the competition as individuals - with players competing in challenges as individuals and eliminated as individuals. The game format remains mostly the same, but with each round of play being designated as a male or female round and only players of the designated gender are at risk of being eliminated, but any player can be part of that round's Tribunal. Additionally, the relic is no longer awarded to an individual elimination winner.

When eight players remain, they compete individually in the Final Challenge for their share of the $1,000,000 prize. First place received $750,000; second place received $200,000; third place received the remaining $50,000.

Gameplay

Challenge games

Killing Floor games

Final Challenge

The final challenge, The Death Path, was competed by the remaining eight players individually. The path was over 50 miles long. Each player's individual times were recorded and added up to determine the winner of the season at the end of the final. During the final, competitors were eliminated until four remaining competitors crossed the finish line where the results were announced.

Day one

First Leg: Players begin the final by running and cycling through a six-mile loop four times (24 miles overall). In the middle of the figure-eight loop there are five checkpoints each player must complete. Players can complete checkpoints at any stage during the 24 miles. If the checkpoint they wish to complete is currently occupied, they may wait, or continue with their 24 miles. Each checkpoint has a 20-minute time limit before players time out. Unbeknownst to the players, the Top 3 players of this stage would form the Tribunal for an Instant Elimination.

Checkpoints
  • On Point: Players stand behind a line and throw one ring onto each hook pointing out from a board.
  • Pyramid Scheme: Players must complete a 5x5 grid puzzle so that each row and column has one of each color.
  • Rampage: Players push a ball to the top of a ramp and into a basket using a provided pole.
  • Skulled Out: Players must complete a vertical puzzle to form a picture of a skull.
  • So Rolled: Players must roll a tire through a hole from behind a line.
  • Tribunal: Theo, Turbo & Wes
  • Eliminated: Georgia (8th place — DQ), Mattie (7th place — Quit)

Instant Elimination - Walk Tiny: Players hold on to a 50-foot rope that is connected to a monster truck. The truck slowly drives thus taking the players on a walk. The first person to fall or drop the rope would be eliminated.

  • Played by:Hunter vs. Natalie D.
    • Winner: Natalie D.
    • Eliminated: Hunter (6th place)

Day two

Geography Trivia: Players are asked a series of multiple-choice geography trivia questions. If they answer a question incorrectly, they would be eliminated from the checkpoint. The last player standing would be driven for the first mile of the Second Leg in a dune buggy while the remaining four players must traverse the sand dunes on camelback.

  • Winner: Cara Maria

Second leg: Players had to travel on camelback over a series of sand dunes, completing the checkpoints that the players encounter.

  • Battle Ball: Players must wait for the next player to arrive. The two players place colored balls one at a time into a slot attempting to line four balls in a row (similar to Connect Four). The first player to line up four of their colored balls in a row is allowed to continue while the loser must wait for the next player to arrive to play again. The player who loses the final battle will receive a five minute time penalty, which must be served before continuing.
  • Eating: The first player to arrive at the checkpoint may eat as much or as little of the provided food items as they like. Once finished, they must divide up the remaining plates of food among the remaining four players. Once the remaining players reach the checkpoint, they must eat everything they have been assigned before continuing.

Final leg: Players run five miles down a beach to reach four kayaks. Along the way, there is a math problem they must solve to unlock a kayak and paddle towards a boat wreck. As there are only four kayaks, the remaining player without a kayak will be eliminated. From the boat wreck, the remaining four players run down the beach to a lighthouse where the finish line is set up. Once the final four players have reached the finish line, their total times will be added together to determine the winner of War of the Worlds.

  • Eliminated: Cara Maria (5th place)

Final results

  • Winner: Turbo ($750,000)
  • Runner-up: Theo ($200,000)
  • Third place: Wes ($50,000)
  • Fourth place: Natalie D. ($0)
