The four couples meet for the first time and are given the task of finding one of four Mazda 6s and find their own tool belt before making their way around Auckland to locate five red blocks each that are worth $20,000 and reach the Block first to determine the order the houses are chosen.

After finding the first two red blocks in their tool belt and Mazda 6, teams have to build a letterbox for the house. All four teams completed this task and received an amount of money from Mark, who judged them out of 20 in total.

Their next red block was at the Quarry. Shannon instructed them that the person takes the diggers to the gravel while the other one will do the digging.

The last block was at the beach.

Alisa and Koan arrived first at the Block and select house two, but there was a twist. They also had to choose the houses for the other contestants. Alice and Caleb were given house one, Pete and Andy house three, and Loz and Tom were given house four.
