TNT wrapped up their Tropa Challenge, the ultimate tropa competition, last February 26 at the SM MOA Music Hall. It is a nationwide inter-tropa competition that’s open to 13-19 years old TNT subscribers to have the chance to win Php 1 million! The qualified tropas were then challenged online, where they have to complete five tasks that tested their creativity and team work using their phones. Points were given for each task they finish, and the teams that have the highest points won prizes for their school and earned a spot to the qualifying round.

The qualifying round was held at Quezon Memorial Circle on February 25. Tropas were pitted against each other in physical and mental challenges to qualify to the final round. Five teams reigned over the rest of the tropas by the end of the round. Tropa Teams Boys over Wall, Bomb Squad, 98 UCU NL, Â Thuggerz, and Happy Lang Squad qualified for the final round, where they all had the chance to win the grand prize.
The final round was held in SM MOA Music Hall, where the TNT Arena was built. Various physical and mental challenges were assembled in the TNT Arena, where the teams had to go through the obstacle course and press the buzzer together to finish the round. The teams were led by Coach Jim and Coach Toni as they challenged the obstacle course. The team with the fastest time wins the grand prize.
Of course, celebrities also joined in on the fun. Sue Ramirez, JC Santos, Hashtags, and Rocksteddy joined the event, where they performed for the tropas and the attendees.
