The game kicks off on January 30, as people across the country start the search for 50 hidden immunity idols in each of the 50 states. For the first time, longtime Survivor fans, newcomers, 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. People are encouraged to form their own tribes, teaming up with their friends and family to put their skills to the test. 

“Survivor has always been about testing yourself – solving problems, facing the unknown and finding out what you’re made of,” said Probst, host and executive. “For 25 years, fans have watched players take that journey. Now, with the Survivor 50 Challenge, we’re letting fans try it for themselves! This goes way beyond finding idols, it’s a chance to step into the game like never before. America has watched players outwit, outplay and outlast for decades – now it’s your turn. The hunt is on. Time to dig deep!”
