Netflix aired the much-awaited game series, The Mole season 2 on Friday, June 28, 2024. The first challenge was to stop the intruders. For that, participants chose Neesh as their leader. At first, he wasn’t excited because of the rules. However, as most participants took his name for the leader position, he went along.
He tried his best as a leader, and they eventually won the first challenge. Even though he did a good job assigning different tasks to all the participants, the stakes were particularly high for him, as he could be eliminated from the show. The host, Ari Shapiro, described the first challenge as:
"In front of you is an assault course carved into this field. The Intruders’ goal is to make it through and into one of the waiting cars at the end. The first one to make it into a car will earn themselves a place in the game."

He added:
"Your job is to stop the Intruders from reaching the end using strategically placed paintball guns. A direct hit will knock them out of the running. Stop them all, and you’ll win $20,000 for your prize plot."
The Mole season 2: Neesh as the leader in the first challenge
During the first challenge, the Mole season 2 participants were supposed to stop five intruders. The challenge field was divided into three zones. According to everyone's experience and skills, Neesh assigned all the participants to different zones.
The 12 participants of the show include Muna Abdulahi, Neesh Riaz, Andy Mintzer, Deanna Thompson, Hannah Burns, Jennifer, Melissa Lummus, Michael O'Brien, Ryan Warner, Sean, Quaylyn Carter, and Antonio “Tony” Castellanos.
Zone one was the Slingshot Zone, which consisted of two slingshots. Q and Muna were on the first slingshot, while Sean and Hannah were on the second. They had two slingshots placed on opposite sides, along with reloading shots.
Zone two was the Tower. Neesh assigned Andy as the sniper and Melissa as the stabilization duty. Tony and Michael were the muscles that supported Andy's movement left and right. There was a sniper rifle with paintball shots, which Andy operated.
The Mole season 2: Intruder challenge
While the players planned the attack and their defense, intruders tried to get out of the padlock. They were given 30 minutes to free themselves. The right combination for their lock was HUNT.
As soon as the intruders were freed, they ran towards the target, where the cars were waiting for them. Both of the slingshots missed the intruders as they were running faster. However, soon teams from Zone 2 got one of the intruders. It was Andy who shot one intruder.
4 more intruders were trying to fulfill their mission. However, Jen, Neesh, and Ryan got them one by one. Each of them was given ten shots in their individual paintball guns. Things got quite intense at last when Jen and Neesh ran out of shots. In the end, Ryan had one shot left, which she used to shoot the last remaining intruder.
Finally, the Mole season 2 participants won the first challenge under Neesh’s leadership. As per the rules, if things had gone wrong and they hadn’t won the first challenge, the leader, Neesh, would have been eliminated.
Ari then announced the prize pot, which was increased to $30000 after the first mission’s success.
The Mole season 2 is available to stream on Netflix.
