It’s designed to warm teams up and get them thinking without pressure. Power-ups earned here can be used in upcoming rounds. Phase 2 – Task from the TVA: A relay-style coding challenge where only one teammate codes at a time. Smart task division, smooth handovers, and team coordination are crucial as teams race against the clock. Power-ups earned in this phase can be strategically used to disrupt or boost gameplay. Final Phase – Agamotto’s Paradox: The final challenge drops teams into a maze-based problem-solving arena. Navigate through paths, collect clues, decode hidden logic, and piece everything together to solve the ultimate challenge. Strategic Twist: Teams that successfully collect all six Infinity Stones gain access to a special gameplay intervention titled “The Snap,” which introduces a predefined hindrance to competing teams.
