ENTRY FEE
The cost to play SURVIVOR IN A DAY is $225 per player. If selected to play, payment info will be provided (Venmo or Zelle).
Entry fees cover food/drinks for the full day, production expenses, and customized, souvenir SURVIVOR IN A DAY buffs for all players.
CHARITY
All prize money won in SURVIVOR IN A DAY games go to great causes. That's right, we're blindsiding and backstabbing for the betterment of humanity! Each SURVIVOR IN A DAY player will pre-select a charity or great cause for which they are playing, something personal and important to them. A GoFundMe will be created, and each player must commit to raising a minimum of $100 in donations. The top three finishers will each receive a percentage of the prize pot for their chosen charities.
If selected to play, we'll provide all details. Don't worry, raising $100 is much easier than you think.
FINAL THOUGHTS
All players must be respectful of the game, its location, equipment, staff, and fellow players.
SURVIVOR IN A DAY is a ''Good Vibes Only'' experience. Does that mean you're not allowed to do everything in your power to stay in the game? Of course not, it's Survivor! Do your thing! Play the game! But at the end of the day, we expect all players to conduct themselves appropriately and remember it's only a game... and games are fun!
That's it! Good luck!
