"Something terrible has been building just out of our sight. The four elements of the world - earth, fire, wind and water - are enraged, and the time has come to unleash their fury! Eruptions, thunderstorms, earthquakes and tsunamis - the most potent and destructive elemental forces are being let loose.

Can you survive the chaos? Get ready to feel the true power of... 🌊️ ELEMENTAL FURY!! 🌩️"

This season…

Elemental Fury is a season all about the four elements - 🪨 earth, 🔥 fire, 🍃 wind, and 🌊 water - rising up and unleashing their wrath on the world. Over the course of five weeks we'll struggle to survive against such natural phenomena as tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires and tornadoes! You'll build an active volcano, design a parkour course that leads through a flooded city, and construct mighty elemental behemoths who are carrying out the elements' will. Can you ride out the storm, or will the fury of the elements pull you under?
