Game Show Gauntlet Overview

The Gauntlet is a weekly quest which requires players to have constructed the Overseer’s Office within your Fallout Shelter vault layout.
Similar to other quests players send a team of 3 vault dwellers to adventure into the Wasteland. After the quest timer (14 to 24hrs) players reach a familiar quest building structure.
Moving through the building rooms players will answer 4 questions from groups of Raiders and if you answer successfully you will be able to move on to the next room without combat. If you fail to answer correctly you will “lose your head” which requires players to fight the Raiders instead. Purposefully failing the questions to fight the Raiders does result in slightly better rewards as you can obtain their loot drops although significantly increases the time to complete the weekly quest and requires strong combat dwellers.
The 4 questions are selected from a fixed pool of 11 options which is based on the weekly quest duration.
Rewards for this weekly quest include Nuka-Cola Quantum, pet carrier, Mister Handy, caps and lunchboxes along with various loose loot and Fallout Shelter junk from the building.

Fallout Shelter is more than just a mobile game for Sam, it was a wasteland oasis that he built during the agonising wait for Fallout 4. He meticulously cultivated his personal Vault 111 to be a sanctuary for vault dwellers from the post-apocalyptic chaos with no resource or room placement wasted. Eventually Sam transitioned his vault management skills to the Steam version of Fallout Shelter where the optimisation challenge and light RPG mechanics of wasteland exploration continued to keep him entertained.
