The first challenge on Canada's Ultimate Challenge kicked off at Cabot Tower in Saint John's, Newfoundland. Each team selected a player who takes a zipline down Signal Hill where they must locate binoculars. Their task? To spot a ship on the harbour outfitted with five signalling flags. Team players need to memorize the flags before they were hauled back up the hill to solve a puzzle. But it wasn't as easy as they thought.
"It was really, really tricky. It required strength. It required endurance. It required attention to detail. It required memorization. We really wanted it to test a lot of different skills," says showrunner Erin Brock.
