About us

Fueled by a lifelong love of Survivor and healthy competition, Matt Carlson created Survivor Hoboken to unite strangers, push them past their comfort zones, and turn challengers into friends.

The hype didn’t stop at Hoboken —applications for Survivor Hoboken poured in from New York City and Matt saw the perfect moment to raise the stakes with a brand-new game.

Now he’s bringing the adventure to the Big Apple with Survivor Manhattan.
