Plot Synopsis

Hosted and executive produced by Josh Duhamel, BUDDY GAMES is a one-hour reality series that unites six teams of four deep-rooted friends, who met at various stages of their lives, at a lakeside location for a nostalgic adult summer camp adventure. "Ride or dies" get the chance to play "buddy games," where they relive their glory days and compete in an assortment of absurd physical and mental challenges in the outdoors while bunking together in the same lake house. Friendships are rekindled, and rivalries reignited, when these friends are challenged to prove which bonds are strong enough to withstand the competition. The last buddy team standing is crowned champion and takes home a cash prize plus the coveted Buddy Games trophy -- and of course bragging rights.
