I hosted a finale party this week for the season finale of Season 50, and prepared many relatively easy to make DIY Challenges. Posting here in case anyone wants ideas for stuff they can make at home:

Challenge #1: Opening Relay
Stage 1: Untie 3 ping pong balls from a bag

Stage 2: Navigate Balls to their marks using skewers and bottle caps

Stage 3: Complete the 3-D Printed Fire puzzle to win

Challenge #2: Tower Stacker
First to drop loses!

Challenge #3: Stick Scramble
Stage 1: Build a pole using sticks and string to reach out for a bundle of letters for a word scramble. There is also a second bundle that contains a clue for the word scramble.

Stage 2: Complete the Word Scramble to win.

Challenge #4: A Bit Tipsy
Stack the word “Tribe” to win.

This was made with an empty binder, a cheap shelf bracket, rope, and tape.

Challenge #5: Final Relay
Stage 1: Balance 1 ball on an elevated platform to collect a second ball, then balance both balls back.

Stage 2: Put one ball on the Newton’s Cradle and navigate up the wall to the marked spot. Repeat for second ball.

Stage 3: Complete the Slide Puzzle to win.

Final Challenge: Paddle Out
The tribe who earned the most points throughout the night faces off against each other for the final prize.

An advantage was found in the house and used in this final challenge.

Land three balls onto their marks. These were made with poster-board and duct tape. The stands are using a thick pool noodle and two halves of a plastic Easter Egg serving as a ball and socket.
