Four couples come together for a treasure hunt around Auckland, with $25,000 and four houses at stake.

The teams meet host Mark Richardson in Auckland as they begin their race to The Block. The four teams have to race to Motat to participate in the Honda Traffic Jam Challenge.

The teams continue working on the garage. During the renovation, they go to the beach to build a raft from plastic sheeting and duct-tape so they can race with it. Back at the construction site, Quinn makes an announcement.

The teams continue working on the renovation of the garage and use old junk to make a piece of furniture. Afterwards, the teams will hear who wins the stylish kitchen package and the cash prize.

The deadline looms for the big reveal. For one team, their days on The Block NZ could be numbered.

When the teams wake up after a chilly night, the realisation of the amount of work that awaits them begins to sink in. In the assignment, the teams have to make furniture from trash. The best piece of furniture wins an upgrade for their kitchen.
