• Mark - axe

Using a web blog, the players perform actions to explore the area. Once they discover the cave labyrinth, they must map their way through until they can find an exit. There are three exits, and each exit requires one of the tools that the castaways are holding.

Bandits also roam the area threatening to rob any castaway that stands idle for too long. Each castaway starts with a purse of 100,000 zapatti, a loan from their possible Castillo winnings (since each of the top 3 are guaranteed at least that much as a prize).

Once the players find the exit from the caves, they will happen upon a hidden town called "Mystic City". Within the city, they will discover what the past castaways have been up to. Judd has become the mayor of Mystic City, Jim now runs the Mystic City Apple Store, Moe runs the local tavern, and Scott is the town's locksmith. The full cast of Mystic City "citizens" includes:

• Mayor Judd (Judd)
• Jimmy the Geek (Jim)
• Thorpy (Host)
• Moe (Moe)
• Slim (Host)
• Smithy Scott (Scott)
• Dr Drake (Judd)
• Masked Marauder (Host)
• Boatmaster (Host)

Wheeling and dealing in town, the players will talk with the citizens, make deals, explore, and even play cards, all with the goal of finding their way back to tribal council. Their tasks will include finding three magical Mystic cards, fixing the lighthouse, and earning a boat ticket. They will be working off of clues, their 100,000 zapatti allowance, and will be asked to write a book review as well as submit questions for a Mac Guild survey. The first player to get on the boat back to tribal council wins immunity.

All castaways must make it to Tribal Council to qualify for the treasure selection (whether 1st, 2nd or 3rd). Making it to Tribal Council earns 2000 zapatti, and each City Council point earns you an additional 2000z.
