Teaser

Welcome To The Gungle. We've got mud and games. Both contestants head into the woods to search for three hidden containers of thick mud.

The first player to return to Basecamp with all three doesn’t win straight away. Instead, they disappear back into the trees and lie in wait for their rival.

If they manage to tag their opponent before they reach Basecamp, the hunt is over. The captured player must kneel in the mud while their victorious opponent empties all three containers over them.

But if the second player slips past and reaches Basecamp untouched, the tables turn — and the ambusher becomes the one who gets covered instead.

Earlier points can grant advantages in the hunt, but once the chase begins it all comes down to stealth, speed and instinct.

Rules

  1. Search for the containers. Both contestants enter the woodland and search for three hidden containers of thick mud.
  2. Return to Basecamp. Each player must bring all three containers back to Basecamp as quickly as possible.
  3. The first player hides. The first contestant to return with all three containers must head back into the woods and hide in wait for their opponent.
  4. Make the tag. If the hidden player successfully tags their rival before they reach Basecamp, they win the hunt.
  5. Escape to reverse it. If the second player reaches Basecamp with all three containers without being tagged, they win instead.
  6. Face the mud. The losing contestant kneels in the mud while the winner empties all three containers of mud over them.
