Teams tackle engaging challenges delivered via a tablet, submitting answers, photos, and videos to earn practical items like food and toiletries. Teams must pack their backpacks thoughtfully, meeting criteria for usefulness and care. The winning team earns an extra donation to a B1G1 cause, and all backpacks are donated to local shelters.
