Connections

***Connections*** is a challenge used in *Survivor: Crystal Kingdom*.

Welcome to your next Immunity Challenge called **Crystal Connections**! It is a little complex but a lot of fun.

This is a semi-live challenge. Please coordinate with your team to find a time to do the challenge together. Not everyone is required to be there - do it with however many people are available. Voice chat will be used so the host can guide you through the game, but you’re not required to talk.

For this challenge, you will work together as a team to answer trivia questions in a format based on the UK game show Only Connect. If you’ve never seen the show or played the game, here’s how it works:

There are three sections: ***Connections***, ***Sequences***, and ***Walls***.

In the ***Connections*** section, you have a time limit of two minutes to figure out what connects the words. One at a time, you are given one word. You can either guess the category with the word you have, or keep asking to see more words. The earlier you guess the category, the more points you earn.

In the example blow the answer would be “Queen Elizabeth’s Corgi’s Names”.

* If you guessed that as the answer when you saw “Susan”, you would earn 4 points.
* If you guessed it when you saw “Honey”, you would earn 3 points.
* If you guessed it when you saw “Bee”, you would earn 2 points.
* If you guessed it when you saw “Sherry”, you’d earn one point.
* If you could not guess what the answer was by the time limit OR you guessed and got it wrong, you would earn no points.

We will do three different sets of words in this connection section.

***Sequences*** works much like Connections, except the order in which each word/phrase is revealed is deliberate to create a sequence or pattern. The fourth part of the sequence will never be revealed, because it is the answer. Just like with Connections, you have a time limit of 2 minutes.

The sequence in the example below is the tallest buildings in the world, so your answer would be Burj Khalifa.

* If you guessed this when the first one (4. Ping An Finance Center) was revealed, you would earn 4 points.
* If you guessed it when the second one (3. Abraj Al-Bait Clock Tower) is revealed, you would earn 3 points.
* If you guessed it when the third one (2. Shanghai Tower) was revealed, you would earn 2 points.
* If you did not guess the correct answer in time or if you got it wrong, you would earn no points.

For ***Walls***, there will be a “wall” of 16 words/phrases mixed around, and you must figure out which groups of four go together. There may be some red herrings to get you to pair the wrong things, so watch out. Once you’ve solved as many as you can, you’ll then have to give the reason why each of those groups is connected.

You will have five minutes to figure out the groups and an additional two minutes to figure out why they go together. You can guess the groups over the initial five minutes and we will tell you if you have the group correct or not.

Top to bottom, the answers are: “"US time zones,”“ ”“countries with red, white and blue flags,”“ ”“swimming styles”“ and ”“phrases ending with cross.”“

You must compete in this challenge by **9:00 PM EST** on **Sunday, April 11**. Anyone from your team can participate but you cannot have more than three people doing this challenge.
