Extinction Island Ep. 1

***Extinction Island Ep. 1*** is the premiere episode of *Survivor: Extinction Island*.

Welcome to Survivor: Extinction Island! Here the 16 of you will be competing to become the next Sole Survivor. But it will not be an easy road to the end. There will be challenges, twists, turns, and mysteries to solve before you get there.

As some of the brightest archeologists and paleontologists in the world, you must navigate this game while excavating a dig site to help you along.

## The Dig Site

The Dig Site will be one of our sources for Reward in this game. Winning Reward Challenges will allow you to take some digs and find some treasures. Maybe you will find valuable coins, a Hidden Immunity Idol, or mysterious tome that will send the world into chaos! The mystery is exciting!

## The Survivor Bazaar

Now earlier I mentioned finding coins, because there is also a currency in this game. Winning challenges will earn you Dino Coins. These coins can be used to purchase different items at the Survivor Bazaar! The Bazaar will always be open to players and the items available are on full display for everyone to see.

Items will be listed with their prices. Sometimes there will be a description, sometimes there won’t. And the items at the Bazaar will change from time to time! If something disappears it might be because someone bought it, but my customers get confidentiality, so you’ll never know who has what.

Coin amounts will also be private and will be kept track of in your host chats. For a full description of the Bazaar and Dig Site, you can check out the links on the blog which will be available after the results of the first Immunity Challenge.

Since I am feeling generous, everyone will start off with 3 Dino Coins!

***ArcheoloGEEZE This Is A Lot Of Work!*** - Welcome to your first Immunity Challenge! This challenge is called “ArcheoloGEEZE This Is A Lot Of Work!” and will test your ability as a tribe to identify each other’s strengths and work together. This challenge will run in 3 separate parts listed below:

Part I: Excavation

Three of you from each tribe will compete in this section of the challenge. As archaeologists, digging to find the hidden mysteries of the prehistoric ages, you have become very good at finding treasure. Hidden on the blog will be 5 dinosaur parts for you to find. In order to find them you must search the blog for pages made up of 3 numbers. For example: https://survivorextinctionisland.tumblr.com/123 or https://survivorextinctionisland.tumblr.com/948. At a time designed by the people competing you will begin your search. Your score for this part of the challenge is determined by how long it takes you to find all 5 fossils by posting them in your challenge chat. Fossils will only be hidden right before you begin the challenge, so no need to excavate early.

Part II: Identification

Once the fossils have been found it is time to identify them. That is why two members of your tribe will be responsible for figuring out what you are seeing! They will do this by completing a crossword puzzle together. The crossword puzzle comes with a twist, the answers are all given, but all the words will only fit in one formation. There are highlighted boxes on the crossword that will give the letters needed to spell out the finishing phrase! Your score will be determined based on how fast you solve the puzzle and write the ending phrase in your challenge chat!

Part III: Reconstruction

Three of you from each tribe will compete in this section of the challenge. Since the first two groups found and cleaned the fossils, it is your job to piece them back together. Each of you three will be responsible for putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Each puzzle will have a different level of difficulty, and the three of you may coordinate who will take on each level. You three will not need to compete at the same time. When you are ready to begin let a host know and they will send you your puzzle. Your score for this part of the challenge is determined by how long it takes you to post a completed screenshot of your puzzle in your host chat.

The tribe that has the lowest combined time from all three parts will win Immunity and be safe from Tribal Council. The losing tribe will vote out a member of their tribe and be the first boot of the game. Being voted out is never fun.

Anyone who does not compete or complete their section will have their own personal time listed as the slowest time from either tribe doubled.

While this is a combined effort, you will also be competing for Dino Coins. The people from each tribe that do the best in each Part will earn 2 coins each. So the tribe members competing in Part I will earn 2 coins each if they have a better score than the other tribe doing Part I and so on. The winning tribe will also each get 3 dig site guesses.
