Read on for details regarding each activity, join the discussion in the Variety Show Discord, and register now for your chance to compete!

Leveling Race

Episode 4 kicks off with a familiar challenge—a leveling race! This time, we’ll shake up the competition by pairing up adventurers on a more daunting journey. Each duo of Warcraft Celebrity Contestants will embark on an audacious odyssey to level their characters in Khaz Algar, at times disrupted by unique challenges devised by the Wheel of Warcraft! Each new affliction will come directly from the Void itself, with whispers enticing contestants to stray from their path and presenting an additional obstacle to their adventures.

Scavenger Hunt

The hunt for clues is on! Grab your detective transmogs and prepare to solve a series of riddles as you venture throughout the four expansive zones of Khaz Algar! Warcraft Community Contestants will follow a trail of mysteries throughout the Isle of Dorn, The Ringing Deeps, Hallowfall, and Azj-Kahet. Each clue will guide you further along the journey and get more complex as you go!

Battleground Blitz

The third activity features a clash between the forces of Light and Void! Warcraft Celebrity and Community Contestants will unite forces and face off in several battlegrounds. The maps will change in each round, as will the team rosters! Contestants will alternate between fighting for Light or Void to emerge at the top of the leaderboard, with points earned per each map victory.

Game Show

Finally, this episode of the WoW Variety Show will conclude by paying homage to the Warcraft universe and its community through a game show built around characters, items, abilities, experiences, and more. Additional details to come.

Fast-Draw Duel

We’ll bring back this fan-favorite draw-and-guess side activity in Episode 4, revamped with Warcraft Words themed to fit in with The War Within!
