The Challenge: Reign of Terror

***Reign of Terror*** is the fourth season of *RealityMist*. This season follows twenty rookies competing alongside ten alumni in a French Revolution-themed game. The season was filmed in Versailles, France from the 2nd to the 27th of December.

## Description

This Winter, RealityMist returns for its fourth season. With loyalties lied, trust broken and betrayals still burning, after a year of absence, the most anticipated season yet awaits. Will you be able to step up to the throne and claim your crown like the six champions? Or will you be left to merely scraps like a peasant?

## Format

Each challenge will be played in either teams, pairs, or individuals, followed by three-way elimination rounds. The winners of the challenge will form the Consulate and will be safe from elimination. The Consulate will choose one player they wish to send straight into elimination. The rest of the house will then vote in one player to go into elimination. The player with the majority of the votes will be sent into elimination and all players who voted for them will be revealed. Those players will then enter "The Draw", and the player who pulls the fleur-de-lis will also be heading into elimination. The winner stays in the game, while the loser goes home. They will also have the choice to unleash a power upon the game, through the Coup d'état.

In the Final Challenge eight players, will compete in eighteen parts, divided into three stages. The last two finishers of at the first and second stage will be eliminated and they will no longer be able to continue in the final, while the remaining players will continue to the next stage.

Prize money is split as follows:

* **Winner:** $350,000
* **Runner-Up:** $200,000
* **Third Place:** $150,000
* **Fourth Place:** $100,000
* **Any Other Place:** $50,000

### Twists

* **The Draw:** All players who vote in majority will be put into a draw in which the player who draws the sword with the fleur-de-lis will be sent into elimination.
* **Coup d'etat:** The higher-placing eliminated player will have the option between unleashing a power on the game, choosing from Relieve, Revenge and Revolt. Each power would have a different effect on the players still in the game.
* **Final Call:** As part of the final challenge, eliminated contestants would be able to select a finalist to give a disadvantage to.
	+ **Mercenaries:** During elimination, two Mercenaries, Austin and Ellie, were brought in to compete for a chance to take another player's spot in the game.
	+ **Purge Challenges:** In some challenges, the last-place contestants will be automatically eliminated from the game.
