Together, the 21 contestants worked together to build a giant beacon and set it alight in the middle of a loch, by gathering and rearranging the puzzle pieces for the beacon first. To guide the group, a replica of the puzzle was also hidden among bottles scattered along the loch shore. In order to set it ablaze, all players must have left the water; however, they were first tied up to a pole, and needed to untangle themselves first, and deciding whether to go for a Shield (two in the loch and one on land), start the puzzle or help someone untie themselves first. Completing the Mission within 40 minutes would earn the group $30,000.

The group of 21 contestants were split into three groups, each with their own marked paths. They encountered three questions about their fellow contestants based on a previously-completed questionnaire, with each possible option associated with a scarecrow that had a key on their neck. They had to guess the correct option, carry the scarecrow to a locked box and attempt to open it with the scarecrow's key. If they succeeded, they would be eventually guided to a 'field of gold' full of scarecrows, which they disassembled to try and find ten hidden gold coins. Additionally, three shields were hidden in scarecrows. The group had 30 minutes to complete entire mission and win up to $20,000.

The 20 contestants had 15 minutes to find the gold hidden in the various graves, crypts and tombs in the cemetery at night. To find the gold, the contestants needed to use tools scattered around the cemetery to break things open. The gold would only be counted if it was placed in a wheelbarrow at the cemetery entrance. To make things more difficult, searchlights traversed across the cemetery; any contestant caught in them were immediately eliminated from the game and any gold they were carrying. Only 9 players were allowed to search at a time so the rest of the players were a substitute in case a player is caught and eliminated from the game. 3 shields were also hidden somewhere in the cemetery.

The contestants took a long and slow walk to the murdered contestant's final resting place; along the way, they were given a series of questions hinting at who was safe, allowing those who were the correct answer(s) to enter the carriage instead of walking with the procession, and eliminating them from consideration. The three contestants left then stepped into coffins at the burial plot, with the group voting on who they believe was murdered. If the majority could correctly guess which contestant was murdered, they earned $20,000 for the prize pot.

The group of 13 contestants were split into three pairs of 'runners' who ran about the castle grounds with a marked map, and a group of seven that stayed behind in the castle. Within a time limit of 20 minutes, the runners located various stations, where they heard a bird call after blowing their whistles. They then imitated this call back to the castle group via radios; the castle group then had to search among various stuffed birds to find the one that made the right call, as well as where it could be found (with only one guess per bird call). Each correct bird call identified (with a maximum of 6) netted $2,500, alongside a bird in the Walled Garden that would net the runners that mimicked it shields if the castle group guessed it correctly.

Each correct bird call identified (with a maximum of 6) netted $2,500, alongside a bird in the Walled Garden that would net the runners that mimicked it shields if the castle group guessed it correctly.

The 13 contestants had to make their way to an incomplete giant catapult, collecting catapult pieces along the way to fully assemble it. Once complete, they then had to fire a golden cannonball and make sure it hit the distant target to win $20,000. They had one hour to complete the Mission. Along the route, Shield cannonballs could also be collected, and each contestant holding these cannonballs would be eligible to fire them at the target as well. The contestant whose Shield cannonball came closest to the target bullseye would then win a Shield.

The twelve remaining contestants were split into six pairs, and tasked with carrying $25,000 worth of gold through the woods. While making their way through the woods, each pair would encounter trivia or puzzle questions with two options they could pick from. They then had to follow a rope course based on their choice and have one member attempt to pick up a scroll along the way; if they were correct, they could continue on, but if they were wrong, they would be stuck in a bog or booby trap. The gold would only be banked if at least one member of each pair completed the course successfully. In addition, the pair that banked their gold the fastest would win Shields.

The contestants were dropped off at a cabin in the woods and met legendary Big Brother player Will Kirby, where they found the entry to a network of escape tunnels, a map and instructions. Only five contestants could enter the tunnel at one time, while everyone else stayed behind to read the map, control the tunnel lights and communicate with those underground. The contestants had to locate gold hidden in various parts of the tunnel network, avoid any dead ends and escape the tunnels through a well within 30 minutes, all while avoiding a range of annoyances (both above and underground) meant to gross them out. Up to $20,000 could be discovered and won, but for every contestant left in the cabin or tunnels when time ran out (or chose to exit through the cabin door instead of the tunnel), $1,000 was deducted from the total. Additionally, a Shield was hidden in one of the tunnels.

Each contestant had a stained glass window with their name on it. They then had to take turns to fire from a crossbow at a window of their choice. The contestants' task was to shatter all the windows except one - whoever's window was left standing would win a Shield. In the meantime, each missed crossbow shot before this was accomplished would cost the group $250 from a starting pot of $25,000.

The seven contestants had to dig up golden nuggets from a huge pile of dirt worth $150 each. They then had to cross a series of floating platforms to the other side of a pond and deposit the nuggets on the plate of a balance scale. They had 20 minutes to dig up, transport and deposit as many nuggets as they could, with up to $30,000 worth of gold hidden in the dirt, and any gold dropped into the water lost forever. A Shield was also hidden in the dirt, which could be banked by depositing it on the balance scale as well.

| Together, the 21 contestants worked together to build a giant beacon and set it alight in the middle of a loch, by gathering and rearranging the puzzle pieces for the beacon first. To guide the group, a replica of the puzzle was also hidden among bottles scattered along the loch shore. In order to set it ablaze, all players must have left the water; however, they were first tied up to a pole, and needed to untangle themselves first, and deciding whether to go for a Shield (two in the loch and one on land), start the puzzle or help someone untie themselves first. Completing the Mission within 40 minutes would earn the group $30,000. | |||||
| 2 | "Welcome to the Dark Side" | $20,000 | $16,000 | $46,000 | Dan |
| The group of 21 contestants were split into three groups, each with their own marked paths. They encountered three questions about their fellow contestants based on a previously-completed questionnaire, with each possible option associated with a scarecrow that had a key on their neck. They had to guess the correct option, carry the scarecrow to a locked box and attempt to open it with the scarecrow's key. If they succeeded, they would be eventually guided to a 'field of gold' full of scarecrows, which they disassembled to try and find ten hidden gold coins. Additionally, three shields were hidden in scarecrows. The group had 30 minutes to complete entire mission and win up to $20,000. | |||||
| 3 | "Murder in Plain Sight" | $20,000 | $19,500 | $65,500 | Janelle Peter Tamra |
| The 20 contestants had 15 minutes to find the gold hidden in the various graves, crypts and tombs in the cemetery at night. To find the gold, the contestants needed to use tools scattered around the cemetery to break things open. The gold would only be counted if it was placed in a wheelbarrow at the cemetery entrance. To make things more difficult, searchlights traversed across the cemetery; any contestant caught in them were immediately eliminated from the game and any gold they were carrying. Only 9 players were allowed to search at a time so the rest of the players were a substitute in case a player is caught and eliminated from the game. 3 shields were also hidden somewhere in the cemetery. | |||||
| 4 | "The Funeral" | $20,000 | $0 | $65,500 | — |
| The contestants took a long and slow walk to the murdered contestant's final resting place; along the way, they were given a series of questions hinting at who was safe, allowing those who were the correct answer(s) to enter the carriage instead of walking with the procession, and eliminating them from consideration. The three contestants left then stepped into coffins at the burial plot, with the group voting on who they believe was murdered. If the majority could correctly guess which contestant was murdered, they earned $20,000 for the prize pot. | |||||
| 5 | "A Killer Move" | $15,000 | $10,000 | $75,500 | Bergie Trishelle |
| The group of 13 contestants were split into three pairs of 'runners' who ran about the castle grounds with a marked map, and a group of seven that stayed behind in the castle. Within a time limit of 20 minutes, the runners located various stations, where they heard a bird call after blowing their whistles. They then imitated this call back to the castle group via radios; the castle group then had to search among various stuffed birds to find the one that made the right call, as well as where it could be found (with only one guess per bird call).
