Pandora's Box 1

The winners of Pandora's Box 1.

**Pandora's Box 1** is the first Pandora's Box event. It took place at 2:30 PM EST on March 6th, 2022. It was the first event since the rebrand in December 2021, and also featured a major overhaul of the event.

## Changes

The following changes were implemented since FrostWar 7:

* Most significantly, the event has completely rebranded from a winter theme to a mythology theme, complete with new teams and a new hub.
* The event got an entirely new soundtrack created by KaeltenCraft.
* A team score multiplier was introduced.
* There is now an element of decision in game picking, where each team gets a slice of an 8-slice wheel. The team majority votes for a game, which becomes the game represented on their slice. A wheel is then spun and it randomly chooses one of the slices.
* Survival Games received a new "Stone Gate" map. It also received a gulag system where players eliminated early have a chance to get back into the game, if they can defeat another eliminated player in a 1v1. Enchantments were also removed.
* Speedrun received a new map high in the clouds. There were also some changes to how the terrain blocks affect players.
* Capture Point got a new map called Nunala Camp, taken from the Groink Studios minigame Counter Push.
* Gauntlet received difficulty changes to some minigames as well as a new minigame called King of the Hill, replacing Space Shuffle.
* Tunnel Block was updated with a shop system, which adds items such as TNT into the game, as well as team upgrades like armor protection.
* Sky High got a new map themed after floating temples, and introduced a proper tiering system for loot chests, and it also received a circular closing border.
* Haunted Havoc received a few additional hunters to start the game with. However, players also received a flashlight which can be used to "stun" the ghosts with slowness. Thunder sounds can now be occasionally heard which will signal a brief reveal of the hunters' locations.
* Lastly, a new game called Hyperdrive was introduced. It is an elytra minigame that takes place across three courses. Use your fireworks sparingly and make it to the end as fast as possible!

## Teams

## Trivia

* This event, while being completely rebranded, introduced Loopie and AvaJC, who did not participate in FrostWar prior to the rebrand. celestialrain, Apden, and Wolfeei had not played in a team event yet, last playing in either FrostWar 1 or FrostWar 2.
	+ This event also saw the return of...
		- DONG\_FORTNITE, who had not played since FrostWar 3.
		- ActuallyNarwhal and NotSouls, who had not played since FrostWar 4.
		- Crypt3dx, KendallWasKilled, and RyanBurger, who had not played since FrostWar 5.
	+ On the opposite side, several players who played in every FrostWar event had their participation streaks ended this event, including Lantastic, ZhuRuho, and ItsNitroTiger. This was to let players who hadn't played in a while participate. Toph033 was also not meant to participate, but he subbed in for Garrettron.
	+ This was also the first event to feature no members of MCC: The Show since their debuts.
* This event featured the first, and so far only time, a participate left the event during the finale. NotSouls left during The Colosseum match. This left the finale to become a 3v3, where Hazel Hydras would sub out a member each round.
* This event featured the least substitutions of any event until then, with only four.
