Snippet #1604414

After an hour of driving through the beautiful rainforest, they finally reached their destination. Zac walked out of the van first and saw a long, brown sand beach, overlooking the ocean. So they were doing something with water. He wasn't sure why they couldn't just do it at the river, but they must have to swim a longer length than the span of the river.

When they made it out and the whole group was overlooking the ocean, Derrick came out and began to explain. "Alright guys, so as you can see behind you at the edge where the forest meets the beach, there are three large billboards. This is where you and two other competitors will be creating a puzzle made of 22 pieces. Where are the pieces, you may ask. They are far out in the ocean, floating and waiting for you to retrieve them."

There were several groans after hearing this, save a few who enjoyed so much physical activity. "Now, since you are in teams of three, there are going to be rules. At all times, one player must be standing at the puzzle, no exceptions. The other two may spread out however they want. They can both retrieve or one can run and one can retrieve. As long as someone is at the puzzle. And one last thing. One challenger can only take back one piece at a time. So this will get tiring. First team to finish the puzzle wins."

"So what are the teams?" interjected Matt, anxious to hear who he was with.

Derrick glared at him for a second and then announced the teams. "Nick, Vivien and Matt are a team."

"Hell yes, We got two strong competitors, me and Vivien and then Nick who is like the smartest guy here. We'll definitely win."

"Then Charlie, Jackson and Maggie. And that leaves Lola, Zac and Emily as a team. Alright guys go to your billboards and I'll give you ten minutes to decide a strategy."
