Exam Phases

Phase 1
Endurance

The first phase is designed to test participants' mental resolve and athletic ability. Participants are pushed to their physical and psychological limits through a grueling endurance event, where both the total distance and the cutoff threshold are unknown.

Phase 2
Assassin

Participants engage in a high-stakes game of capture the flag, where each participant is both hunter and hunted. The objective is to successfully capture their target's flag while avoiding capture themselves.

Phase 3
Labyrinth

Participants must navigate both mental and physical obstacles. Go in solo, maybe work with a team? The choice is theirs.

Phase 4
Deception

Participants are thrust into a social game designed to test their abilities to deceive, manipulate, and outwit others. The challenge requires participants to hide their true intentions, sow confusion, and gain the trust of others—all while attempting to expose or eliminate rivals trying to do the same.

Phase 5
1v1

The final test. Participants must defeat their opponent in a game of strength, intelligence, and skill to become a Pro Hunter.

Examiner Opportunities

Pro Hunters have the ability to serve as examiners at future Hunter Exams, ensuring that the quality of applicants who pass the exam is as elite as they are.
