The contests The laws of Karma Each team selects a law of Karma and a color to represent it. These laws are given in the form of a medallion representing each law. The eight laws of Karma in Season One were:
Inspiration Connection Patience Giving Humility Growth Focus Responsibility
Once eliminated, players had their medallions given to one of the remaining teams.
Karma Coins After the team that won the challenge selects two teams to send to the Cave of Karma, the remaining teams each receive a Karma Coin. They will give these Karma coins to one of the two teams chosen to go to the Cave at the offering. At the offering, each of the safe teams, excluding the team that won the challenge, come up one at a time and hand their team's coin to the team that they wanted to help at the Cave. The coins play a role in the cave, and having more coins would give the teams more opportunities to survive the Cave.
The Cave of Karma The winning team of the challenge would get to select two teams to send to the Cave of Karma, where they would face off in a challenge which would eliminate one team. The challenge at the Cave was to find one (or more) Karma Coin(s) given to them. The coins were hidden by the opposing team under one of the 10 stone chambers that were on each side. After the hiding of the coins, each team would take turns to find their coin(s) by smashing open one of the chambers. The first team to find that Cave's amount of coins would win and return to the game.
