Coco Connection
Also known as Firing Squad
How it works
Take turns firing coconuts from a slingshot to break wooden tiles on a five-by-five grid. First tribe to break a full row, column, or diagonal — tic-tac-toe with coconuts — wins.
Why it's iconic
A slingshot-and-strategy reward that plays like tic-tac-toe — a crowd-pleaser that's spread across the international Survivor franchises.

More reward challenges
The Survivor Auction
Plays for reward
Every castaway gets the same stake of cash and bids on covered dishes and hidden advantages — comfort food, a clue, or a trap. Whatever you don't spend means nothing once you leave the game.
Know Your Loved One
Plays for reward
Family members are flown in for the most emotional day of the season. Castaways compete — often alongside their visiting loved one — for precious time together, a meal, or a night back at camp.
Quest for Fire
Reward + immunityDebuted Season 1
Carry fire from a tribal torch across a course — swimming a flaming raft to shore, then lighting a chain of torches up the beach — racing to light the final cauldron first.
