Hey first years do you know the capital of New Zealand? Are you a Sudoku master? Can you dougie better than your friends? Are you sometimes tempted to write a funny answer rather than a right one? Would you like to be doing all this while being fed a constant supply of candy? If any of this interests you then Genius Bowl is the way to go.
Genius Bowl consists of trivia, puzzles and interactive games. Trivia can be anything from naming songs and artists based off of a tune to geographic knowledge to guessing how many pieces of candy are in the giant candy bowl, which will steadily be fed to all the hungry participants throughout the night. While answering questions you will also be given puzzles to complete. These will be plentiful and can consist of mazes, Sudoku, drawing games, and riddles. A competition of this scale wouldn’t be complete without some head to head games. For this purpose a variety of interactive games will go on throughout the competition. These could be games such as a spelling bee, an origami contest and a dance-off. Whatever your interest is, the huge variety will ensure that everyone has a spot to shine.
As you answer questions correctly and participate in the interactive games you will be rewarded points. The top three teams will be rewarded with a prize and bragging rights. If you aren’t sure of an answer make sure to write something funny down to make the judges laugh as this will also bring you points and your hilarious comments will be read out loud.
Team sizes can be as large as six people and teams are encouraged to fill all their spots as Genius Bowl is packed with activities. Make sure to come up with a creative name so that the competition will remember you as your score flies past theirs.
So get on Wikipedia while listening to the top 40 and watching movie after movie filling your head with more facts than you thought could possibly fit up there. Genius Bowl is closer than you think and you’ll want to be a trivia guru to beat all the other bright minded Waterloo students who will be aiming as high as you are.
