### Video

In the first puzzle game, yellow team completes first, whilst the blue team completes second. Yellow team learns of blue team's location, and red team is given orange team's location. Yellow team begins their trek towards blue team, and the red team beings theirs towards orange team; the red team leaves behind Bryan. The orange team decides to rent e-bikes as a defense mechanism; they leave Matt Alvarado behind to defend their flag.

Three red team members, Joey, Alex, and Michael, attempt to invade the orange team's base, however Alvarado continues his defense and alerts the other team members of red team's attempted raid. When the other team members arrive, Joey manages to take the flag and toss it over the fence to Alex, where they then proceed to run away, with orange team following closely behind. Joey and Alex are eliminated, whilst Michael retains the flag. Hyper Fenton of the orange team, then jumps from his bicycle and takes the flag from Michael.

Yellow team then arrives at blue team's base. Whilst Isaac Quazzo and Drew Bauer are distracting the blue team, Caleb Cauthren and Dudedad sneak their way into the back and attempt to take the flag, but fail. Blake Dreisbach of the blue team is eliminated. Three out of four members of the yellow team then barge their way through the front door, running past the blue team and taking their flag. Justin Stuart of the blue team is eliminated by Cauthren, and Bauer of the yellow team is eliminated. Dudedad retains the flag and brings it back to the yellow team's base, eliminating the entire blue team.

The first powerup, a revive, is on the map. Orange team attempts to make it there first to steal the powerup from the other teams that need it, however red team makes it first. Yellow team attempts a raid on orange team, and seems successful at first. Dudedad steals the orange team's flag while riding a scooter and drives off, with the orange team pursuing him. Andrew Scites of the orange team catches up to Dudedad on a bike and eliminates him while on a road.

Bryan sneaks into orange team's base, unknowing of where orange team is. Orange team assumes that the red team is setting up a trap for night time, so the orange team treks to travel back to their base, with Alvarado staying behind protecting the flag. Orange team begins a search of their base, however to no prevail. A new powerup is dropped, and yellow team arrives with no opposition. They then learn the location of red team's base. Red team uses their powerup to revive Joey.

After researching their map, attempting to label their map, orange team discovers that they were given another team's map, and thus the location of another team's base. Ricky Ireland goes on a solo mission in order to discover what is over near the location. After yellow team discovers that they are, to the best of their knowledge, the only team whose locations have not been revealed yet, they decide to lay low, and let the orange and red teams battle until yellow team is second-to-last. Ireland then arrives to the location, and in the process, discovers the location to yellow team's base.

Orange team then returns their flag back to their base. They then decide to get some rest in order to prepare for the morning. Ireland attempts a solo mission to take yellow team's flag and eliminate them under the presumption that yellow team will not be as awake. Around the same time, red team begins a raid to orange team. Ireland manages to take the flag, however it catches on the door and lands on the porch. Quazzo attempts a pursuit by foot, but to no prevail.

Red team then begins their raid on orange team. Attempting to hop the fence, once they realize that orange team is awake, they backtrack. Bryan sneaks over the face and attempts to take the flag, however is quickly stopped by an orange team member. He then attempts to barge through the front door, however trips on a step and is eliminated.

Yellow team then begins a raid on red base. Cauthren and Quazzo sneak through the back fence and sneak through the back door. Quazzo runs and takes red team's flag, with Michael following behind. After following each other to a nearby park, Michael walks away from Quazzo after a tense confrontation. At the house, Cauthren waits for Joey to come out of a room, and then eliminates Joey. After Cauthren comes back and takes the red team's flag, Michael follows behind, chasing Cauthren and Quazzo.

After learning that red team's flag was moved, the orange team comes under the assumption that yellow team performed a raid, and that they should invade yellow team. Ireland hops the fence and takes the flag and begins making his way towards their base. Quazzo later attempts to stop Ireland, however is eliminated. Orange team brings yellow team's flag back to base, and Cauthren is eliminated, as he was the only player left.

Orange team, without Alvarado, takes red team's flag, however Michael, the last remaining red team player, is not there protecting the flag. As it turns out, Michael trekked on foot towards orange's base in an attempt to steal the flag. Michael manages to take the flag and throws it over the fence. As Alvarado attempts to stop Michael, Michael manages to hop over the fence and run away on a bike with the flag. Orange team continues to bring red team's flag towards their base, while Michael brings yellow team's flag back towards his base. In an extremely close race, orange team ends up winning the game, and thus the $10 thousand prize.
