The Gauntlet

== Summary ==
The Gauntlet is a game created by Ben Willis based off of CBS' Survivor. The first season debuted on October 7, 2021 and the series was originally going to end on November 6th, 2023. After an overflow of support was received, the revival of the game was announced via Instagram (@gauntletgame) on January 5, 2024. It takes place on mobile messaging via phone number but using multiple different websites and tools for challenges and other events.
== Zoom Era ==
The Zoom Era was a point in time before the debut of New Beginnings. It took place in late 2020 and featured live games on Zoom that lasted about four hours. There were five seasons total including the Prototype. Colin McKenna, Maddy Kearns, Jessica Gillooly, Chelsea Amaral, and Gavin Mattos were all crowned as winners. Zoom seasons have since been handed over to Jessica Gillooly. See Jessica's Zoom Gauntlet for more information.
== Gauntlet Anonymous ==
Jessica Gillooly suggested a Gauntlet game based off of The Circle. The concept was that each player would be anonymous and use an alias. This took place on Snapchat and had one season, where Emilee Dunham was crowned the winner. Visit Gauntlet Anonymous for more information.
== YouTube Channel ==
The Gauntlet has a YouTube channel that features many videos. Originally, it was only created to recap seasons. However, this was stopped after All Stars - The Ultimate Battle. Video diaries were then compiled and released onto the channel. The channel also features season trailers, with Resolutions: The Official Trailer being the first of its kind. Aside from video diaries and trailers, other videos are sometimes made. For example, every episode of The Gauntlet Podcast goes live on the channel.
