A Do-It-Yourself Challenge is a Reward Challenge in which there is no supervision from host Jeff Probst. This means that the contestants must conduct the challenge by themselves.

At the final eleven of Island of Secrets, two members of the Manumalo tribe, Cobus Hugo and Nicole Capper, were sent to the Island of Secrets by a random draw. There, they had the chance to win individual immunity in a head-to-head duel. The two were challenged to solve a tangram puzzle. Cobus handily defeated Nicole to win immunity.
At the final eight of Island of Secrets, Mmaba Molefe and Steffi Brink competed in a game of "Connect Four" for an advantage in the game. Mmaba defeated Steffi in all three rounds of the challenge and received a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, which she was informed would be placed in the urn at Tribal Council.
