The Improv Challenge is a challenge where the contestants' improvisational skills are put to the test in order to win the main challenge. The contestants usually have to act as a certain character, but unlike in Acting Challenge, they do not receive lines they have to learn for their performance. Another type of improv challenge is the Snatch Game, that tests the queens improv skills in the character of a celebrity.
