The Spawn Challenge
The Spawn Challenge, also known as just The Challenge or the Challenge Course is a parkour and maze challenge in the most recent version of spawn.
Description
The Challenge consists of 9 stages that each must be completed. Between each stage there is a pressure plate that resets your hunger and health. At the end of the challenge is the Victory Lounge, which contains an End portal.
Throughout the challenge, there are many hidden lounges. There is at least one hidden lounge in each stage. These lounges may contain such things as ender chests, anvils, crafting tables, and even an end portal. Some of the lounges are readily accessible, others require accessing hidden buttons, some require completing difficult secret parkour. The lounges also contain regular chests, which anybody can put items into for others to find.
Speed running
Some people attempt to speedrun the challenge. This is done with no items and no commands. It is counted from when you hit the water at the beginning, to when you reach the platform of the victory lounge.
The person currently holding the record, gets to write a message that is displayed inside spawn. When somebody else beats the record, they can replace that message.

Stages
Stage 1: Lava Maze
The first stage simply consists of a lava maze. Walk carefully through it, and make good usage of Shift. At the end there is water to extinguish any burning.
Stage 2: Cactus Maze
The second stage is in fact an easier version of the first stage.
Stage 3: Easy Parkour
The first parkour is made in the style of little modern square. Has big platforms to jump to.
Stage 4: Glass Maze
The fourth stage is a 3D glass maze. It is very confusing to navigate, but it would probably be even harder if it were made of an opaque block. There are only two paths through this maze, one short, and one long.
Stage 5: Void Maze
The fifth stage consists of long and wide tunnels underground. Currently there is full visibility down there, but when it was made, it depth created a large amount of void fog, giving it its name.
Stage 6: Medium Parkour
The second parkour takes place in a frozen cave. There are many ice blocks, requiring use of Ctrl for fast sprinting, and Shift to prevent falling off the edge.
Stage 7: Leap Of Faith
The leap of faith is a 40 block drop to a 1x1 water hole. Failing to miss the hole results in certain death. This stage has violently many attempts at the challenge.
Stage 8: Hard Parkour
The third parkour is a hard parkour taking place in an abadoned mine. You have to make a 4 block jump, as well as float through cobweb.
Final Stage: Expert Parkour
The final parkour is nether themed, and requires many precise jumps, including several 4 block jumps. It ends in the Victory Lounge, which contains an end portal and ender chest.
