During the long-awaited Survivor 41 premiere, host Jeff Probst announced a new interactive twist called the Game Within The Game, which invites young viewers to play along with the show. Survivor has been a reality competition that viewers have loved for many years. As a result, producers have added a few different twists over the years to refresh the format, challenge new contestants, and create some buzz within the fandom.

A few new elements have been added to Survivor 41 for a variety of reasons. For instance, this season will be shorter (26 days in total) instead of the competition’s usual 39 days. The series also returned to Fiji instead of venturing out to new territory in order to ensure that contestants and production staff all stayed as safe as possible from the COVID-19 pandemic. During the premiere, Jeff also altered his long-running “come on in, guys” catchphrase so that it becomes more gender-neutral.

Jeff announced that many twists and turns will be introduced to viewers throughout Survivor 41, with the brand-new Game Within The Game twist being described as something for the younger fans. Each week, Survivor 41 viewers will have to find a hidden rebus puzzle somewhere in the episode, solve it, and submit their answers online through the official website for the Game Within The Game. This new interactive element aims to include young viewers who dream of what it would be like if they were competing on the show. Despite the challenging nature of this Game Within The Game, fans are already excited about this interactive twist and look forward to solving these weekly puzzles.

It is still unclear to Survivor fans which kinds of rewards they might win for competing in the Game Within The Game. Alas, it is unlikely that any huge rewards will come from a free game that will be potentially played by thousands of viewers at home. This is just a fun way for young fans to sharpen their Survivor skills and see if they have what it takes to compete on the show once they’re old enough. Throughout the weeks, the Game Within The Game puzzles will likely get tougher and make for even tougher challenges for any of the fans who participate.

Even though Survivor 41 is just beginning, viewers will look forward to solving a new Game Within The Game puzzle each week. The first week is over, but fans will have to tune into the next episode to find their next puzzle and solve it. With a new era of Survivor beginning, anything is bound to happen throughout this season.

Survivor 41 airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
