The Hidden Immunity Idol (also known as the "Hidden Idol" or simply as "the idol") is a small talisman hidden in various ways in the game of Tempest. Its purpose is to, one way or another, prevent the user from being voted out in a Tribal Council vote. The idol has influenced many of the contestants' strategies, whether they use the object, or defuse its powers. The Hidden Immunity Idol made its debut in Tempest: Malawi.
