It's been a little over year since Survivor: LBP 13 - Blood Ocean was held, the first LBP Survivor season held in LBP3. Survivor: LittleBigPlanet is back for another season in LittleBigPlanet 3!

For those who don't know, Survivor: LittleBigPlanet is a competition based on the TV show Survivor. In it, we take a group of players from the LBP community and split them up into teams. Every 2-3 days, players from the teams compete in challenges in LBP3. The losing team must vote a player out and the process more or less repeats itself until we get to our final players.

Challenges come in different types, most of which will be based around solving puzzles or platforming. We try to put an LBP spin on what we think you'd see in a real life season of Survivor. In terms of how challenges are played, they mostly come in the following varieties:

1 - Challenges where players get to play on their own - either as many times as they want when going for a high score, or trying to be the first to get through a level.
2 - Head to Head challenges where we'll set a meeting time for everyone to get online and take on live opponents.
3 - Single player challenges where players must find a staff member online at their convenience.

Most of the game outside of challenges will take place in your team's private forum. Each team gets a private forum that can be thought of as their camp. There, players can interact with fellow teammates and get all of the latest updates on the game. Only the staff and the players on a team will be able to see what happens there. Once the game begins, players will gain access to their team's private forum.

Once a good portion of players have been eliminated (exact number to remain secret until it happens), the teams will merge and competitions will then become individual. The winner of these individual challenges gets immunity from being voted off. All remaining players will vote for one of those remaining.

Once we get down to the final vote, a specific number of recently eliminated players will each cast a vote for who they want to win. Most votes in the final vote becomes the Sole Survivor.

Rules and format for each challenge will be presented to the players following each vote.

Other variations may occur and will be explained to the players as the game progresses.

Doesn't LBP max out at 4 players?
Since LBP maxes out at 4 players, the challenges are devised that they will work around that limitation.Some challenges will have the individual contributions of each team's members adding up to a whole, some will have head to head battles, some will require 2-3 from a team working together. Info and videos from our last few seasons can be found in the Survivor subforums on LBPCentral and LittleBigPlanetarium.
