Until Next Time

**Until Next Time** is the season finale of **Awakening**.

## Description

After a very intense and chaotic premiere season, the contestants are challenged in the first final in Val's The Challenge history.

## Final Challenge Rules

This final will be done over the course of two days. The first day will have three stages and the second day will have four stages. After each stage, the 1st-place performer will receive 6 points, while the 6th-place performer will receive 1 point. Everyone else will receive one less than the amount the person placed above them got. You want the most amount of points possible as at the end of the final, the person with the most points will win the season!

## Day One

**Stage #1:** *Codebreaker*

When you're ready to begin the first stage, say !stage1. This will give you a puzzle you must complete to get a combination of numbers. When you've finished the puzzle, send a screenshot with your submissions channel in the screenshot. Using those numbers and the clue to order the numbers when you sent the command, send the code to gain your next puzzle. ex: !1-2-3-4-5. Once you've finished the third and final code, your time will be stopped. Any incorrect guesses will result in a 1 minute penalty added to your time.

**Stage #2:** *24:31*

When you're ready to begin the second stage, say !stage2. This will give you an app game you will have 24 minutes and 31 seconds to get the highest score on. You are allowed to submit a score as many times as you wish, but each time must have your submissions channel as a tab or window in the screenshot. However, you must stop your timer before or at 24 minutes and 31 seconds since you said !stage2, otherwise every extra second will remove a point off your score. For example, if you got a score of 10 but you stopped your timer at 24:36, you would get 5 deducted from your score of 10 leaving you with a score of 5. Say !complete to stop your time.

**Stage #3:** *Crossed Out*

When you're ready to begin the third stage, say !stage3. This will give you a crossword you must fill with the names of the 12 eliminated players. You will be given clues for where each player goes in the crossword. You can either use a photo-editing software to put the names in the crossword, or simply say the number and whether it was Across or Down and their name. Make sure they're all sent in one message if you're simply typing them out into messages. Say !complete when you're finished.

**Eliminated:**

## Day Two

**Stage #4:** *Maze of Mayhem*

When you're ready to begin this stage, say !stage4. This will give you a maze you must complete with a photo-editing software or marker tool. However, on your way to the end of the maze, you will encounter a few icons. When you send the completed maze, you must complete the tasks that the icons correspond to. When you're finished, say !complete. Any tasks done incorrectly will result in a 3 minute penalty added to your time.

**Stage #5:** *Roll Your Way*

When you're ready to begin this stage, say !stage5. This will give you a square with black walls. You must go from the starting yellow square and in separate messages, send the directions you must take to reach the ending red square. You are not able to cross through black walls. Your ball will continue rolling until it hits a wall or a dead-end. When finished, say !complete to lock your time. You want to get the least amount of messages sent for this stage, time will act as a tiebreaker.

**Stage #6:** *Run For Your Life*

When you're ready to begin this stage, say !stage6 and this will begin your clock. You will be given timestamps that you must say the phrase I keep running at each timestamp since you originally sent !stage6. You want to be as accurate as possible as you will be scored on your overall difference between times. This will be done over 13 minutes.

**Stage #7:** *Talk In Fractures*

When you're ready to begin this stage, say !stage7. The command will give you three words, all three that contain a fracture in the word. The missing letters from the words will all remain the same throughout all three, but they might be ordered differently. You want to figure out what the missing letters are and spell out the correct words. If you think you have the correct words, send them in a code form. ex: !the-challenge-final. If you're correct, it'll give you your next group of three words. Continue this until you finish the third and final one and it'll stop your time. If you guess the words incorrectly, it'll add a 1 minute penalty to your time.
