Stacked Up
How it works
Standing on a wobbling balance beam, use a long-handled fork to ferry stacks of balls across and set them on a series of stands. Topple the stack and you start over; finish first to win.
Why it's iconic
A modern marquee test of nerves and balance — picked as the Final Immunity Challenge of Ghost Island and revived again and again in the new era.
The moment

Simmotion
Reward or immunityDebuted Season 18
Catch balls as they spit out of a spiraling metal track and feed them back in — with one hand tied behind your back — as more balls are added over time. Drop one and you're eliminated.
Blind Leading the Blind
Reward or immunity
One sighted caller per tribe stands on a platform and shouts directions to blindfolded teammates, steering them around a maze-like course to collect scattered pieces — then the whole tribe solves a puzzle.
A Bit Tipsy
Reward or immunityDebuted Season 27
Hold a rope to keep an unstable, tilting table level while you stack a tower of blocks on top of it. One wrong shift and the whole thing comes down — rebuild and keep going. First to top out wins.
