Looking for an immersive, real world, heart-pounding challenge? You’ve found it!

Up to 6 teams of 2 people each will compete in our SURVIVOR Games for a chance to earn advantages that can be used in the second half of this experience. After SURVIVOR Games is completed your Adventure Host will lead all teams to a remote 48-acre private island on the Waccamaw River. Get ready for a dose of Survivor-style excitement as you and your teammate tackle thrilling challenges, unlocking clues to release your kayaks. The ultimate final challenge? Racing a half mile up the river back to our Outpost in the grand Paddle Battle!

Your Adventure Host will be your guide throughout the challenges on the island. From endurance tests like “Balls in Balance” to brain-teasers like “Crack the Code,” each challenge is designed to test your skills, teamwork, and a touch of strategy.

Here are the challenges:

  • Stair Puzzle – figure out how to build your steps to the top of the platform
  • Water Race – transfer water down the stairs to fill a pipe to reach floating key
  • Walk the Line – cross a slack line to unlock a box
  • Knock’em Down – toss bean bags at your target wall to knock down 6 targets
  • Spell it Out – solve the word puzzle to unlock box
  • Hole in One – roll a ball up the ramp into the hole
  • Build it Better – tie sticks together to knock a key off 6 ft above your head
  • Crack the Code – figure out the 4 digits to unlock your kayak
  • Paddle Battle – race to the finish line in kayaks

The total time for this experience is about 4 hours.
We must have a minimum of 4 players (2 teams of two) to run this challenge. If you sign up and we do not get enough players 24 hours in advance we will switch your reservation to our SURVIVOR Games challenge instead or give you a full refund.
