==History==
=== United States ===
The challenge debuted in , where the final seven competed for immunity. The challenge was split into two rounds. In the first round, the contestants would have to retrieve three bags using a grappling hook. Coach Wade, Debbie Beebe, and J.T. Thomas hooked their three bags first and moved on to the second round where they had to use one ball from one of the bags and guide it through a table maze. Coach won immunity by getting his ball through the table maze first in a tight race with J.T.
The challenge appeared as a Duel in , where Matt Elrod and Krista Klumpp faced off. Matt won his fourth straight duel, eliminating Krista for good.
This challenge was again used as a Redemption Island duel in between Ozzy Lusth and John Cochran. Cochran struggled during the grappling hook stage, though he caught up during the labyrinth game and was just barely edged out by Ozzy. For winning, Ozzy was given the choice of which members of the Te Tuna tribe would be granted a visit from their loved ones. He decided to give it to Albert Destrade, Brandon Hantz, and Coach, who all spent the afternoon at Redemption Island with Ozzy and their respective loved ones.
In , the challenge re-appeared as the first post-merge Redemption Island duel between Aras Baskauskas, Vytas Baskauskas, and Tina Wesson. Vytas came first, and in a tight race, Tina managed to get second place, eliminating Aras.
In , the challenge reappeared as the final six Immunity Challenge. Although closely matched by Dan Foley and Sierra Dawn Thomas, Mike Holloway won his third immunity.
In , the challenge appeared as a team Reward Challenge. Instead of using grappling hooks to retrieve their balls, the teams had to traverse through an obstacle course and collect the balls at the end. The teams would then have to use their body weight to tilt the table, maneuvering the ball through the maze. The blue team of Kyle Jason, Michele Fitzgerald, and Tai Trang won reward.
In , the land variant of this challenge was used, but the grappling hooks were replaced by an obstacle course. After most contestants dropped their balls in the maze, Emily Flippen edged out Austin Li Coon to win a trip to the Sanctuary.
=== Australia ===
The Weight and Sea variant of the challenge introduced in Kaôh Rōng appeared as the final stage of the first post-switch tribal Immunity Challenge in . After crossing a balance beam and sliding down a ramp, six tribe members would pass balls to three tribemates who would attempt to land the balls at the end of a giant table maze. Although Brains and Brawn were neck-and-neck near the start of the challenge, Rachel Downie struggled at the balance beam, allowing Brawn to win the challenge in a blowout victory.
=== South Africa ===
In , the challenge was used as the final six Immunity Challenge. After winning the previous Reward Challenge, Chappies Chapman won the right to deprive three castaways of the opportunity to compete in the challenge. Chappies chose to compete against Anela Majozi and Santoni Engelbrecht, whom he viewed as easy competition. Both Anela and Chappies made it to the inner circle of the table maze at around the same time, but Anela's ball fell out of the maze, allowing Chappies to land his ball first and clinch his third consecutive Immunity Challenge win.
