Among the challenges: the Tour de France challenge a minibike pass the baguette cycling relay; the Rogue Heroes challenge – inflatable obstacle course with team member wrapped in parachute; the FIFA World Cup challenge – a giant Connect4 with inflatable football; the Alone Australia challenge – hunt and gather ten survival items; The Cook Up with Adam Liaw challenge – guess the ingredients challenge with a focus on native ingredients.
