Water Challenge

Challenge category: Timed obstacle course (with a time threshold to validate the level) or race. Description: Participants have to race inside a water canal that has lots of obstacles. The course also has many shortcuts that either require a lot of agility to reach or that have a high risk of drowning. Examples of obstacles:

Long underground canals completely underwater and so requiring challengers to use psy energy to hold their breath for longer. Those canals are also often filled with partial walls, forcing challengers to move around and contort themselves to go through.

Stones emerging from water or suspended poles forcing challengers to jump from one to the next or risk falling into the water.

Ladders suspended above the water from which challengers have to hang, swinging themselves from one bar to the next to progress.

Nets challengers have to climb before jumping from the top.

Simple canals filled with aggressive fish or algae.

Canals with a labyrinthic design so as to make challengers get lost.
