Attempts
Here's a brief description of the contestants' attempts. Someone's probably working on writing up some additional detail, though!
- Chris brought in a mystery box, claiming its contents meant something to a member of the cast but refusing to reveal its contents until later in the show. It was later revealed to contain his 'best friend' that he had to hide for the task 'Hide this body'. He received 2 points.
- Josh brought in a Boba Fett doll to represent the rare one he lost as a child when playing in a paddock that would not be worth NZ$225,000. He received 3 points.
- Justine brought in a pot of dirt which claimed was a mysterious substance. She received 1 point.
- Kura brought in her Bumble account to represent the mystery of why she is still single. She received 4 points.
