Survivor

It’s been 50 incredible seasons for “Survivor” and to celebrate the milestone comes “Survivor 50 Challenge.” In this season  the show will transform the entire country into a massive real-world scavenger hunt; all leading up to the highly anticipated premiere of SURVIVOR 50, debuting Wednesday Feb. 25, 2026 on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. Kicking off on Jan. 30, this monumental coast-to-coast activation is calling on people across the country to put their skills to the test and play the game for real: 50 hidden immunity idols placed across 50 states, each with a winner.

The SURVIVOR 50 Challenge brings the adventure of SURVIVOR directly into communities across the country, turning all 50 states into the setting for an immersive multi-week scavenger hunt: each hiding one official immunity idol. For the first time ever, newcomers, longtime viewers and anyone who loves a good challenge will have the chance to strategize, uncover clues, solve riddles and track down authentic immunity idols hidden in their state. Players are encouraged to grab their tribe, invite friends and family, and put their strategic skills to the test for a fun family-friendly adventure.

To join the hunt and get in on the action, fans can visit Survivor50Challenge.com and sign up for alerts on the Survivor 50 Digital Hub. Stay connected for challenge details, updates, rewards and exclusive content, and find out when the clue will drop in your state.

To officially qualify for the grand prize sweepstakes, players who have successfully risen to the challenge must snap and submit a photo wearing the idol to the Survivor 50 Digital Hub. One additional winner will be selected through an online component of the Survivor 50 Challenge Hub, subject to official rules. The prize? Unforgettable. The reveal? Soon.
