Season Summary
On Day 1, Caitlin, Casi, David, Ebby, Elk, Jess, Jumanji, Justin, Lacey, Malcolm, Nivy, Rose, Sven, and Waffle entered the game.

On Day 1, the Contestants were introduced to the first Round. The challenge they had to complete was called "Birthday Party!", and involved them having to vote on presents with different values to add or deduct from the Group Pot.

On Day 2, it was revealed the majority of the Contestants voted for Present 13, which was Sven's present. The present added $250,000 to the Group Pot. The Contestants were then given their first Test about the Mole's identity, and were informed the lowest two scorers on the Test would be executed in a double execution twist.

On Day 3, it was revealed Elk and Ebby scored the lowest on the Test, and both were executed, thus being eliminated from the game. After the double execution, Round 2 commenced, with the remaining 12 Contestants having to answer 5 questions each as part of a 60-question general knowledge quiz.

On Day 4, it was revealed the Contestants managed to win $64,300 after their quiz, out of a possible $180,000. The Contestants were then given their second Test, with the lowest scorer set to become the third Contestant executed. Shortly after this, Jumanji and Rose, as the top scorers in the previous challenge, were given the opportunity to win an Exemption via the "Risk or Safe?" twist. If both players pressed the Risk Button for $25,000 each, they would not win anything, but if only 1 player pressed it, then that player would win an Exemption.

On Day 5, both Jumanji and Rose pressed the Risk button, resulting in them receiving no Exemption, and wasting $50,000 out of the Group Pot. Later in the day, Jess was executed after scoring the lowest on the challenge. After Jess's execution, Round 3 commenced, and the next challenge, "Trick or Treat?", was introduced. In the challenge, Contestants had to decide whether to choose Trick, and spend money from the Pot in a chance to earn advantages, or choose Treat, and put money into the Pot, but at the cost of becoming ineligible from earning Exemptions for the next 3 Rounds.

On Day 6, it was revealed that 8 Contestants chose Trick, with 3 choosing Treat, resulting in $250,000 being deducted from the Group Pot, leaving it at $14,300. As a result of choosing Treat, Sven, David, and Nivy became ineligible from earning any Exemptions or other advantages until further notice. A second challenge for Round 3, "Getting To Know You", was introduced to the Contestants, where they had to find out the answers to questionnaires answered by other Contestants.

On Day 9, the Mole managed to sabotage the Group's efforts to unlock the codes, and deducted $125,000 from the Group Pot, leaving it at only $54,300. As Justin was the best performing player on Team Red and Rose was the best performing player on Team Blue, they each played a private game of Rock Paper Scissors in their submission channels in a bid to earn prizes. However, if they chose the same item, it would cancel each other out and they would lose $50,000 from the Group Pot. The Round 4 Test was given to the Contestants later, with the lowest scorer to be executed.

On Day 10, it was revealed that Waffle scored the lowest in the Test, and became the fifth Contestant to be eliminated from the game.
