Battle for Object Destination was an Object Show created by Maxwell Hall (aka Area), before dropping out of every community he was in (including the object show community) thanks to a Role-Ending Misdemeanor. It's the same ol' competition format, 16 contestants battle in two teams of 8, where only one team will win the titular amusement park Object Destination. It had only three and a half episodes before it ended up getting canned.

The show did have its own Spin-Off show called Earthquake where a Minimalist Cast of six solve puzzles to escape a building on an island within four days before an earthquake hits it. Unfortunately, it only had one episode before it was canceled alongside Battle for Object Destination.

Watch the official (and incomplete) BFOD playlist and sole Earthquake episode "Anyone's Game".

The tropes for the show include:

  • Added Alliterative Appeal: The episode title "Flip's Frozen Flee" counts.
  • A Dog Named "Dog": As with most object shows ever conceived to date.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: And this continues the trend in the long line of object shows.
  • Anthropomorphic Food: Gummy and Soup Can are this. Earthquake also introduced Drink.
  • Armless Biped: Anchor, Button, and Picture are the armless Battle for Object Destination contestants while Drink is the only one without arms in Earthquake.
  • Cliffhanger: There are three major ones which would never resolve thanks to both shows' cancellation.
    • "Flip's Frozen Flee" never got a proper ending since it was a two-parter, and it's still unknown which team won.
    • Earthquake is another big one. As it never got past the first episode, the fate of the contestants at the end remains unknown.
    • Although not as big as the previous two, whoever was Candle's crush in "Truth or Die" will remain unanswered.
  • Minimalist Cast: Earthquake has an economy-sized cast of six contestants and one host (tying second with ONE. (initially) for smallest object show cast and beaten by The Daily Object Show for first).
  • Room Escape Game: The whole premise of Earthquake; the contestants must solve fifteen puzzles inside different rooms within four days before an earthquake hits the island.
  • Short-Runner: Isn't it a sad sight for an object show to last about three episodes and end on half a two-parter.
  • Two-Part Episode: "Flip's Frozen Flee" was supposed to be a two-parter before the show cancelled after the first part was finished.
