The Butler Games is a live action game event where a number of players compete to win a pineapple (amongst other prizes). On average, the games last about eight rounds, with the final round being a vote between the last 2 or 3 contestants remaining.

The game is inspired by reality competition shows such as Big Brother, Survivor and The Challenge.

## Challenges and Competitions

The games vary between season, but the basic set up remains the same. A number of players will begin the game and after each round one or more players will be eliminated. When only two/three players remain, all the previously eliminated players must cast a vote on who they would like to be crowned the winner, the player with the most votes wins. Players can be eliminated in a number of ways, most commonly players will be voted out of the game by the other players. It is also possible to be eliminated by losing a competition, be dragged out of the game by another player or self-eliminate / be removed from the game.

Each round will contain at least one challenge, which will either grant the winner(s) safety or power to nominate other players for elimination (or both!)

There are several types of challenges that are played -

* **Tribal Challenges** - Tribal Challenges are played in teams, where the winning 'tribe' or 'tribes' are immune from the vote. The losing tribe(s) will face the elimination ceremony. Notable tribal challenges include The Battleflip, The Stack Exchange and The Egg and Spoon Race.
* **Head of House Challenges** - Head of House Challenges are typically played individually, with the winner gaining the power to nominate players for elimination. Notable Head of House Competitions include Know It All, Scrabble Scramble and Fallen Friends.
* **Immunity Challenges** - Similar to the Head of House challenges, immunity challenges are played individually. The winner or winners gain immunity and cannot be voted out at the next elimination ceremony. This was first played in The Butler Games: Second Chance Summer. Notable Immunity Challenges include Know It All Knockout and Blow Ball.
* **Power of Veto Challenges** - The Power of Veto Competition is a lifeline for nominated typically played by a maximum of 6 players (usually the nominated players, the player who nominated them and players selected at random). The winner of this competition gains the Power of Veto and can save a player of their choice from elimination. Notable Power of Veto Competitions include The Ice Breaker, To The Nines and Mastermind Map.
* **Nomination Challenges** - Played for the first time in season three, nomination challenges are typically played individually. There are no winners of this challenge, but the losers are nominated for elimination. Notable nomination challenges include Give-Wrapped.
* **The Battleback Competition** - Played at least once per season, the Battleback Competition is only played by eliminated players, the winner of which will return to the game. Notable Battle Back competitions include Dice, Dice, Baby, Puzzled and Wrecking Ball.
