The show tagged ‘The Age of Craftsmanship’ saw 16 out of 20 contestants that were unveiled taken to the jungle to compete against each other and nature in quest of a secret treasure that would offer fame and wealth to the last person standing.

The organisers of the show also opted for a twist that will see two of the remaining four contestants voted by the audience to participate as wildcards.

According to Gideon Okeke, the show host, two of the four contestants, who didn’t make it to the jungle on the first day will be given a chance as wildcards as the show progresses.
