It's Like Going To Bed On Christmas Eve

**It's Like Going To Bed On Christmas Eve** is the season finale of **Vendettas**.

## Description

After a very intense season full of loyalties and backstabs, the contestants are challenged in the hardest final of Val's The Challenge history.

## Final Challenge Rules

* **Day 1**: This final challenge will be done over a course of stages that will be released over the course of the next few days. All stages will be done in your individual submissions channel. Depending on your performance in a stage, you may receive point(s)! These points are crucial as the player with the most points by the end of the final will win. Along with receiving points, you do NOT want to get last-place as the player who gets last in a stage in Day 1 will be automatically purged from the final. Day 2 of the final will only have four players continue, so bring everything to ensure you don't get purged!
* **Day 2**: This day of the final will be similar to the first day in the sense that we will still have point-based stages and that all stages will be done in individual submissions. The points from this day will be added up with the points from day one, and that will decide the winner of this season so it is important you still try the best of your ability.

## Day One

**Stage #1:** *Alphabet Soup*

To begin this stage, say !stage1 to start your time and receive a puzzle. You will have to complete this puzzle as it contains letters when completed that will be necessary for the second part of this stage. After you complete the puzzle, send a screenshot that includes the completed puzzle along with your individual submissions channel. From there, you may send the command !alphabetsoup to receive ten letter-number combinations. These will be a letter and a number together that indicates the starting letter of the word you must create using the letters from the puzzle, along with the length of the word in letters. For example, A5 is a letter-number combination. A valid answer for this could be Apple or Apply - any word that begins with A and is 5 letters long. Once you are finished creating words following the instructions of the letter-number combinations and including only letters from the puzzle, say !finish to stop your time.

**Stage #2:** *Floating Overhead*

For this stage, you will be testing your knowledge of the eliminated players! In order to begin, you must send the command !stage2 to start your time and receive six wordclouds. These wordclouds will be taken from the confessionals of eliminated players. You must determine which wordclouds belong to who by using the context clues within it. Ensure you indicate which wordcloud belongs to who by numbering the names the same as the wordcloud it belongs to. When you're confident in your choices, say !finish to stop your time.

**Stage #3:** *Bridging The Gap*

This stage will remain anonymous until you enter the command. When you're ready to begin, say !stage3 to start your time and receive your instructions.

**Stage #4:** *Replicate It*

In this stage, you will be testing your attention to detail. To begin this stage, say !stage4 to begin your time, receive a google sheet that you will use for this final stage, and an image with a combination of ticked and empty checkboxes. You will have to make a copy of the spreadsheet, clarification of how to make a copy will be included in the command. (if you're on mobile, you must have the app downloaded) Once you have your own copy of the spreadsheet, you may begin replicating the image given in the 'Round 1' page. Once you're finished, send a screenshot of the completed grid of checkboxes including your individual submissions channel in the screenshot. Afterwards, you may send the command !replicate2 to receive your second image. You will replicate this image in the 'Round 2' page on the spreadsheet. Complete this process for all seven images, then say !finish after replicating the seventh image to stop your time.

## Day Two

**Stage #5:** *App Insanity*

In this stage of the final you will be tested on your heart and endurance. To start this stage, you will say !stage5 in your individual submissions. You will be given 1 hour to get a high score on 2 app games. To submit a score, you must send a screenshot of your score with your individual submissions anywhere on the screenshot whether it be on another tab, or having the full discord screen up. You can submit as many times as you want as your highest score for each will be taken. If you go over 1 hour you will be dq'ed and your scores will be deemed invalid.

**Stage #6:** *Vendetta Visages*

To start this stage, you will say !stage6 in your individual submissions. Upon saying the command, you will be given a grid of emojis of the people who played this season, a cooordinate, and rules of how to change the word you get. The coordinate given will link up to an emoji on the grid, and the name of the person who that emoji belongs to will be your word. Then you must change that name according to the list of rules given to you when you say the command. When you believe you have the answer, all you have to do is take your answer and put it into command form. ex: if the answer I had was pgngjgnf I would say !pgngjgnf as the command. This will be done 5 times with each ranging in difficulty.

**Stage #7:** *Lap Of Victory*

In this final stage, you will say !stage7 in your individual submissions to start your time. You will have to count from 1-200 in command form. ex: !1, !2, etc. At specific numbers, you will be given a task that you have to complete. There are 5 of them that you need to complete. Once you have finished all 5 tasks, lock in your time by saying !finish.
