## Twists

**THE MAZE:** Through a set of rooms the players would be placed into at the beginning of the round, they would be able to compete in a mini-game to either learn a digit to an idol, an advantage, or to get to the center of the maze and correctly guess the code for an idol/be able to guess the outcome and receive info from someone else.

* If you win the mini-game, you get to pick what room you go to next that connects with the room you are currently in.
* If you lose, you get placed into a room at random and receive no info.

**THE IDOL:** Through guessing the correct code for either idol number 1, or number 2. The person who obtains this idol will be able to play it until final 6 on themselves or someone else.

**SWAP POWER:** This power allows one player from each tribe to be "swapped". When played before immunity results, those two players are NOT safe. When played after immunity results, the swapped players ARE safe.

**SAFETY WITHOUT POWER:** This power gives the person who has it the ability to play it on themselves or someone else right before going to vote during tribal council, removing themselves/person they choose and have no ability to vote at that tribal.

**FIREMAKING IDOL:** When this idol is played, it must be played while votes are happening but before the votes are read aloud. This idol triggers a "firemaking challenge" between the two top vote getters at that tribal, the person who loses the challenge leaves the game.

**STEAL A VOTE:** This power must be played before the tribal attendees go to vote, this person can steal any vote of someone at tribal and have 2 votes instead of 1.

**THE GULAG:** At final 8, the remaining people will compete in an initial challenge (touchy subjects) where the top three people will earn safety from the first tribal. After the challenge, those without safety have 15 minutes to decide a vote before going to the first tribal. After the first tribal, there is another 15 minutes before the second tribal where no one is immune.
