The paths of choice are gateways leading to the main stadium. Inside the paths of choice are several different rooms used as an obstacle for the Running Men. At the end of the paths is a maze room, where the Running Men have to go around in order to place their flag in the middle. So far, there are four different rooms shown in the series.
Paths[]
Path of the Magnets[]
Path of Magnets
- A magnet-encrusted road with floating magnetic balls all around the area. Liu, wearing cast iron shoes, and the Skyway shuttle bus flew away and stuck together as soon as the gate opened.
Path of Ice[]
Path of Ice
- A slick ice-covered road. Because it was cold, Popo started a fire with a flame card, and the massive ice pillars on the ceiling melted and fell, nearly crushing Miyo to death.
Path of Holes[]
Path of Holes
- A road covered with holes of different sizes. Unlike the other roads, this road is the safest.
Path of the Maze[]
Path of the Maze
- The last stage of the Opening Game. Inside contains a dizzying maze that spirals to the inside of a sphere-like structure resembling the Materion. Inside the structure is a platform where the players can insert their Tribal Flags into in order to win.
