Played in male/female pairs, the girls from each team have to advance from one of the platform to the middle, where their male partner will be standing. A 20-foot rope is attached to each partner, and the girls have to wrap themselves in the rope in order to advance toward their male partner, then the guys have to twirl around to the other end of the platform, and the process will repeat until each partner has advanced to the opposite end. Players are disqualified if they touch the rope with their hands, their rope makes contact with the platform or they exceed a 10-minute time limit.

Rope Burn: A rope is attached from a fire pit to a platform suspended 15 feet above water. Below the platform are fire-building materials resting on a pair of docks, including oil, batteries, matches, logs and bales of hay. Six players from each team have to swim from the shore to the docks, and retrieve the fire-building materials over their heads without getting them wet, while the remaining three players from each team will try to sabotage their opponents by dumping buckets of water from the top of their platforms.

Leaps and Bounds: Players have to advance on a series of five platforms, with trampolines located in between. Each platform decreases in size as each team tries to advance to the end. To start, one player at a time will jump from a trampoline to a platform,
without their hands or arms coming in contact with the platform, which would result in a player having to start over. Once players from a team have made their way to the final platform, their team time will stop when they hold their pose for three seconds. The team that advances o the last platform in the fastest time wins.
