Welcome to your final cash grab challenge! This is where the proverbial rubber meets the road. Or the penis.
Captained by Reepicheep, the Orange Team consists of Alex Trebek, Prince Edward, Megara, and Sorsha.
Captained by Pua, the Purple Team consists of Air Bud, Dog with a Blog, Prince Naveen, and Queen of Hearts.
Any meetings with Disney executives is a weird time. They're all so bored with our constant success that when pitching new movies, they always want to self-impose restrictions to make things more interesting. I don't understand it, but that's humans I guess. Some motherfucker's always trying to ice skate uphill. Since this is the last round before the finale and we've cut out the weakest two thirds of the people we started with, we're finally gonna let you in on one of those pitch meetings.
This challenge will be run semi-live, with 2 teams of 5. Each team will play the game Concept. The game is played in several rounds. For each round, four players will be guessers, while one person will be a clue giver, trying to get the guessers to say a certain concept. The clue giver will not be allowed to speak or type to their comrades; the only way they can communicate is through a google drawing with various images on it, and several colored punctuation marks and squares. That player will be allowed to move the squares wherever they want, to try and lead the guessers to the concept. You may also change the sizes of the squares and punctuation marks if you like.
The clue giver has the following items to help them, with the following conventions:
There's no rule about how you can move the squares and punctuation marks; if, for example, your team is getting sidetracked and misled by one of your clues, you can change it. You may stack the cubes on top of each other, you may use the dotted boxes to the side of each image for your cubes or just stick them on the image, you can form a circle with your cubes, you can put your cubes on a specific part of the image, you can put as many cubes on one image as you like (for example, 3 cubes on the "1" box might represent "3" and 8 cubes on the "leg" image might be a great clue for "spider")... whatever.
Here is a list of suggested image interpretations.
Teams will be timed on how quickly they can reach their guesses. Each player will have at most 15 minutes to get their concept across. The guessers have unlimited attempts at each concept until the time runs out. Outside sources are allowed if you need them for whatever reason. You may discuss general strategy for how to best give clues beforehand, but you cannot share complex plans or secret codes.
We've ranked the 5 concepts by difficulty, and your team captain will decide in advance which team member will be tasked with giving clues for each concept. Every player who successfully gets their team to guess their concept will win $1,000. All members of the team who gets the most concepts right in the fastest time will receive an additional $2,000.
You have 48 hours for the challenge, but we understand timing may be difficult. You are allowed to play a round without your whole team present; all you need is for each team member to take a turn as the clue giver, and at least one other player to act as the guesser.

The clue giver has the following items to help them, with the following conventions:
- 1 Green Question Mark - this is used to designate the main, or most important, idea. For example, if your clue was "The Lion King," you could put this on an image that represents a story or a movie, because The Lion King is a movie.
- 4 Exclamation points, one each of Red, Yellow, Black, and Blue - these are used to designate secondary concepts. For example, with "The Lion King," you may want to put one of these on an image that suggests an animal, or royalty.
- 40 Squares, eight each of Green, Red, Yellow, Black, and Blue - these are used to accentuate the concepts attached to the ones above. For example, for "The Lion King," you may want to place the red exclamation point on an image that suggests 'animal', and then the red cubes on images that suggest 'golden color, carnivore, cat,' etc. to show that the secondary idea is a lion. With the green question mark on a movie-related image, you might use your green cubes to suggest what type of movie it is or what happens in it.
