The goal is simple: outscore everyone in your league. Earn points in three ways— by predicting the correct castaway voted out each week (outwit), drafting castaways who rack up points through their gameplay (outplay), and correctly picking the season’s Sole Survivor (outlast). When the season ends, the highest score wins.
Pick Castaway Voted out (0-10 points)
Each week, players receive 10 points per tribe to assign among the castaways on that tribe. Players earn Vote Points equal to the points they assigned to a castaway who is voted out that week.
A player may assign up to 10 points per castaway. All votes reset after each episode is scored. Votes must be submitted before the episode airs on the US East coast. Submissions received after this time will not count.
A castaway is considered voted out if any of the following occur:
In extraordinary circumstances not covered above, Fantasy Survivor reserves the right to determine whether Vote Points will be awarded.
Players do not earn Vote Points for a castaway who quits, is medically evacuated, or removed from the game by production.

Play Shot in the Dark (2 points)

Castaway Out of Game (0-13 points)
Once a castaway leaves the game — by being voted out, quitting, or being removed for medical or production reasons — they will continue to earn 1 point for each subsequent episode they are out of the game. This includes the episode in which they leave the game.
Pick Winner of Survivor (0-13 points)
Each player selects one castaway as their predicted season winner. Players may change their winner pick at any time between episodes.
To earn points, a player must have the eventual winner selected going into the final episode. Points are then awarded based on the number of consecutive episodes leading up to and including the final episode in which the player had the winner correctly picked.
Players earn 1 point per consecutive episode the correct winner was selected. The streak must include the final episode.
Example: Player Maria selects Castaway A as the predicted winner before Episode 1. Before Episode 9, Player Maria changes her winner pick to Castaway B. Castaway B is later voted out during Episode 10. Before Episode 11, Player Maria switches her pick back to Castaway A and does not change her prediction for the remainder of the season. At the end of the season, Castaway A wins the game. Because Player Maria had Castaway A selected for Episodes 11, 12, and 13, she earns 3 points total (1 point per episode). Player Maria does not receive points for Episodes 1–8 because her winner streak was broken when she selected Castaway B for Episodes 9 and 10.
If there is a tie between players, tie breaking rules are in order as follows:
All scoring decisions are determined at the sole discretion of Fantasy Survivor Game (FSG).
Only the episode which airs on television will be used to determine scoring. TV spots, ads, social media posts, or any other media—written or visual—will not be considered when scoring.
In the event of unclear footage, unaired events, rule ambiguities, unusual twists, production changes, or unforeseen circumstances within the show, FSG reserves the right to interpret, clarify, adjust, or amend scoring to best reflect the intent of the game.
FSG decisions are final. No scoring changes will be made after results for an episode have been finalized, except to correct clear errors or omissions.
By participating, all players acknowledge that rulings may be required to address situations not explicitly covered in these rules and agree to abide by FSG’s determinations.
We reserve the right to modify, update, or amend these rules as necessary in response to changes, twists, or new elements introduced in the official Survivor television series.
