Endurance Mission
This is usually a test of skill. The contestant that wins an Endurance Mission will typically earn another piece of the Endurance Pyramid and the Samahdi. The Samadhi contains something that will have a negative effect on one contestant during the Temple Mission, and the winners of the Endurance Mission get to choose which contestants has to play with its effect.
Temple mission
This mission is usually one of endurance (hence the show's title). The contestant that wins a Temple Mission usually earns the right to choose two other contestants to send to the "Temple of Fate", the elimination challenge.
Temple of Fate
The two contestants sent to the Temple of Fate bring with them all pyramid pieces they have won up to that point. In a variant of the Rock, Paper, Scissors intransitive game, the contestnats select fire, wood, or water to defeat one another in a best 2 out of 3 match, e.g.,
water puts out fire (water wins)
fire burns wood (fire wins)
wood floats on water (wood wins)
The first contestant to win two rounds wins the challenge and the right to stay in the game. The loser is immediately eliminated. The losing contestant gets to give their piece(s) to anyone else still in the game.
Pyramid pieces
The pyramid pieces play an important part in the game, since one contestant must possess all of the pieces to win the game. There are 14 to collect. You earn these from Endurance Missions are receiving a losing persons pieces.
Final Challenge
For the Final Challenge, both contestants go to the Temple of Fate with all the pieces they have won. These pieces are now used as chips to play a shell game type challenge.
The contestant with fewer pieces starts by placing pieces by a group of pyramids, one of which has the gold pyramid under it. That contestant may claim as many as it wishes but must leave at least one pyramid unclaimed. The contestant with more pieces must claim the pyramids that its opponent did not claim. At this point, the gold pyramid is revealed, and the contestant that has claimed it wins all the pieces that were played on the board. If contestants have the same number of pieces the team that had fewer pieces the round before places first. If contestants are tied in first round, the contestant that won the final mission places their pieces first
There are three pyramids to start the game, and one more is added every round there after. The contestant that gets all the pyramid pieces wins the challenge, the game and the grand prize.
