Maxi Challenge

A **Maxi Challenge** is the main challenge that the contestants are judged on and what determines who places in the top and bottom for the episode. There are several different types of Maxi Challenges but majority of them aim to test the contestants' skills in performance, comedy or fashion as they are typically expected to act, sing, dance or create outfits.

Maxi Challenges take place after a Mini Challenge and takes up majority of the episode's runtime as the contestants prepare to perform to the best of their abilities in the challenge at hand. Additionally, the prize of winning a Mini Challenge can include some sort of advantage for the Maxi Challenge.

The winners of a given week's Maxi Challenge win a cash tip.

After the judges have deliberated and all the contestants in the top and bottom have been called safe, only the contestants who performed the worst in the Maxi Challenge are left on stage where they have to go against each other in a Lip Sync For Your Life to secure their spot in the competition, with the loser of the lip sync ultimately being eliminated.

## Important Challenges

Although there are sixteen different types of Maxi Challenges, six are considered to be especially iconic and are highly anticipated by both the contestants themselves and by the fans. The six Maxi Challenges considered to be important challenges are Snatch Game, the Ball, the Girl Group Challenge, the Makeover Challenge, the Roast, and the Musical. These challenges are the ultimate tests to judge the contestants' Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent in comedy, look, performance and branding with most, if not all, being frequently present across the entire *Drag Race* franchise. Contestants who excel in these challenges are often established as front runners in the competition and typically place as finalists or semi-finalists overall. Additionally, the Talent Show may also be included in this list.

## Final Challenge

*See: Final Challenge*

The Final Challenge is a special type of Maxi Challenge that appears in every season as the last Maxi Challenge of the season that the finalists or semi-finalists of the season have to face. The Final Challenge most frequently appears in one of two formats: the Music Video Challenge or the Rumix Challenge. The Final Challenge is judged as a traditional Maxi Challenge.
