The Navy Team consists of Alex Trebek, Prince Edward, and Pua.
The Purple Team consists of Megara, Queen of Hearts, and Sorsha.
Congratulations on being among the top 20% of players in the game by making it to the final challenge! Your final test will contest of 3 parts, each one testing one of the major components we've been testing you in during the cash grabs throughout the game: communication, strategy, and puzzles; all of them will test your teamwork. The first team to win 2 parts will be the ultimate champions.
Part 1 will consist of helping us take care of gossip at Disney World. The actor who plays Baloo has been going around the park telling all the attendees our company secrets, and as such we've restricted the communication policies.
For this challenge, you'll each alternate taking turns as a cluegiver for your teammates. On each turn, the player acting as cluegiver will be provided with a keyword (or phrase), as well as 5 words (or phrases) that are Taboo. The goal is to get your teammates to guess the keyword by using any words except for words on the Taboo list. You cannot use words containing any of the taboo words, or forms of them. You also can't use a word that's a part of the keyword/phrase or a word/phrase on the Taboo list. For example, if a taboo word is "ball", "baseball" would be illegal. You'll be provided with a Chatzy to complete the challenge. Once a teammate has successfully guessed the keyword, the next cluegiver in the turn order will have a new keyword posted in their Challenge Thread along with 5 corresponding taboo words. If the cluegiver accidentally uses one of the words on the taboo list, we'll move onto the next keyword and your team will earn a strike.
You are prohibited from using codes or words that rhyme with the keyword in order to get the keyword across. If you're unsure whether something breaks the rules, ask a mod first.
Your time will stop once we've gotten through 60 keywords. The team with the fewest strikes will win, with time acting as a tiebreaker. The winning team will only need to win one of the remaining two parts in order to win the game, and will get to choose which challenge we play next: strategy or puzzles. You have 72 hours.

I have questions! Sorry if some of these are kind of obvious. I just want to be extra sure!
1)Do the clues have to be single words or can they be sentences, and does word count have any effect on the score?
2)Will each round be timed, or is it just a matter of how fast you can get through the 60 keywords?
3)Are synonyms allowed? For example, if the taboo word was "ball", would "sphere" or "orb" be acceptable? If yes, are there any notable exceptions?

For example, if the taboo word was "ball", would "sphere" or "orb" be acceptable? If yes, are there any notable exceptions? 1) Your clues are unlimited and your score is solely based on time. If the keyword was "Harrison Ford" and your taboo words were "actor/Star Wars/Han Solo/Indiana Jones/movie", you could say "it's the guy who played the guy from the thing about space fights, darth vader's son". 2) Immediately upon one round ending, the next keyword will be given, so it's a matter of how fast you get through all 60. 3) Synonyms are fine!

This clip worked better for the last cash grab, but it still fits:

The winning team will only need to win one of the remaining two parts in order to win the game, and will get to choose which challenge we play next: strategy or puzzles.Due to scheduling reasons, part 2 of the final challenge will be the puzzles portion. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Let's see the results. . . . . . . . . . . . . No team was able to finish the challenge with no mistakes. . . . . . . However, both teams only made a single mistake, with Pua using "yard" in describing the keyword "garden", and Sorsha using "colored" in describing the keyword "crayon". . . . So it comes down to time. . . . Both teams took longer than 45 minutes. . . . . . . The winning team won by exactly 32 seconds. . . . . . . . . . The winning team is. . . . . . . . . . . . The Purple Team! Congratulations! It was a close call, and both teams put up a valiant effort. The Navy Team will need to win both remaining parts in order to be the ultimate champions.
