Gladiators Games
Atlaspheres
The two challengers and the two gladiators are caged in large atlaspheres that they have to propel themselves from within. The challengers' task is to roll the spheres onto any of four scoring pods, each pod scoring two points. They were given 60 seconds to score as many points as they could in this fashion, whilst the gladiators must block the challengers from scoring.
Duel
The challenger and a gladiator are each placed atop of an elevated platform with a short distance apart. Armed with a pugil stick, they would attempt to cause the other to fall from their platform within 30 seconds. This could be achieved with either an offensive or a defensive strategy, although some contenders were disqualified if they made no attacking move towards the gladiator. A score of 10 points is awarded if the challenger knocks the gladiator off the platform. If the challenger manages to stay on the platform for the entire 30 seconds but doesn't knock the gladiator off the platform, they score 5 points.
Eliminator
This event is played at the end of every episode. It involves a head-to-head contest between the two female challengers, and between the two male challengers. They both have to complete an obstacle course in the quickest time possible. The challenger who has earned the most points throughout the episode starts the course earlier than the other, based on how many points they were leading by. For every point they lead by, they start half a second earlier.
During the 1995 - 1997 series, the course consisted of padded hurdles of varying heights, a rope climb, monkey bars, running across spinning logs, climbing up a cargo net, going down a flying fox, walking across a balancing beam, running up a travelator which is going in the opposite direction, then after that, the first challenger to swing on a tarzan rope through the crate paper banner at the finish line is the winner of the episode.
For the 2008 series, the obstacles remained the same as the original eliminator, except a quarter pipe has been added, the cargo net was replaced by two ladders and the crate paper at the finish line was replaced with a waterfall.
Gauntlet
The challenger has to run through a gauntlet while passing five gladiators armed with ramrods. The second and fourth having power pads to slow the challenger down. The challenger must run through the course within 20 seconds to earn 10 points.
Hang Tough
The challenger and gladiator begin on opposite sides of the arena, on raised platforms. Between them hangs a grid of suspended rings, similar to gymnastic rings. The challenger's task is to reach the gladiator's platform by swinging between the rings, scoring ten points if successful. The gladiator meanwhile, swinging in the opposite direction, would attempt to intercept the challenger and pull them down. If the challenger manages to hang on for the entire 60 seconds regardless if he/she knocks the gladiator, and reaches the fourth row of rings (painted red) but not the opposite platform, they score 5 points.
Hit and Run
The challenger has 30 seconds to run back and forth across a suspension bridge, scoring two points for each crossing. Four gladiators (two on each side of the bridge) attempt to knock the challenger off using four large demolition balls.
Powerball
Two challengers face three gladiators on the Powerball pitch. Challengers had 60 seconds to place balls in the five scoring baskets on the pitch (2 points for a score in one of the four outer baskets and 3 points for the middle) whilst the gladiators had to tackle the challengers, preventing them from scoring.
Pyramid
Two challengers and two gladiators face each other on a giant pyramid. The challengers aim to reach the summit, whilst the gladiators aim to stop them by throwing the challengers down to the bottom. The first challenger to reach the top of the pyramid and push the button within 60 seconds would score 10 points. If the other challenger could make it in the remaining time, they would score 5.
Suspension Bridge
The challenger and gladiator, armed with hammerheads, face each other on a suspension bridge. The challenger has 60 seconds to cross the bridge for 10 points. If they can survive for the full time, they score 5.
Wall
The challengers climb up a wall with hand and foot holds while the gladiators are set off seven seconds behind. In the 2008 revival, the headstart the challengers receive has been reduced to five seconds. First to the top of the wall scores 10 points, second five. A challenger can still score 5 points if they manage to hang on to the wall for the full minute. Male and Female challengers had different walls to climb.
Whiplash
The challenger and gladiator grip a "dog bone" and the challenger must use this to pull the gladiator out of the ring, earning 10 points if successful. Both players must grab and hold on to the dog bone and they may use tactics to force the other player to let go of the bone, and win the game.
Pendulum
The challenger and gladiator engage in a game of hide and seek on a ball 5 metres in diameter, which hangs from the roof of the arena. On the whistle, the ball begins to swing from side to side. The aim of the challenger is to avoid the gladiator, who must track the challenger down and remove the Velcro flag from their back. Once this is done, the game is over. If the contender or gladiator falls off, the remaining participant wins. Ten points are awarded to the challenger if the gladiator falls from the pendulum or if they do not fall off after a minute.
Sumo Ball
The challenger and gladiator stand on a platform with a giant 'sumo ball' in between them. They have thirty seconds to push their opponent off using the sumo ball, which they must hold onto using a loop for the entire time. Neither may touch the platform with their hands. Ten points are awarded for a contender win, five for a draw. Either player loses if they are forced off the platform yet still hold onto the ball.
Vertigo
The challenger and gladiator compete in a one-on-one race across five poles, each around 9 metres high. On the whistle they must climb the first one to the top. Once there they swing their pole and must use this method to transfer to each of the remaining poles. They must complete a left-to-right swing before transferring. They do this until the end where a silver ring awaits, the first to grab this wins the event.
