Thomas Robertso won the grand prize for the Real Deal Crazy Game Show.

As usual NOVA kicked off the semester by organizing a NOVA Day at every campus. This day welcomes new and returning students by providing food, playing music and letting the student clubs recruit new members. Among these clubs were the Hispanic Student Union, Phi Theta Kappa, Vietnamese Student Association, the Visual and Performing Arts Association and others.  All of these define a normal NOVA Day for the college.

However, Annandale campus set its day apart from being just a typical event. This On Jan. 28, Annandale provided a different form of entertainment for the students, by having the Real Deal Crazy Game Show at its campus.

The game was sponsored with the college’s fund and it certainly brought a lot of fun to an ordinary event. During the game, the participants chosen randomly from the public had a chance to answer a question. If the person got it right, they could spin a wheel and win some cash money. If they got it wrong, they had to act out a crazy gag and then spin the wheel. The participant then was able to choose between the amount of money he won and a mystery prize from a box.

The questions made to the participants ranged from knowledge of history to TV cartoon phrases. For example, one of them was about who the 15th president of the United States was while another was on how to sing the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song.

The students who didn’t answer the questions correctly had to perform more entertaining tasks. Some of which included dressing a human size doll in a minute, dressing up as a baby and drinking from a bottle and dancing to a random tune.

Angela Castaneda, a student who participated in the game, described it as something different.

“It was a good way to entertain people, get them more involved, get some cash, but mostly have fun.”

Daniel Henriquez, a student and officer in charge of the Media Communications Club’s table, commented, “NOVA day was always a good way to get students more involved with the college, but this time it really got their attention with the game. It was really funny. The speaker did really well and kept the people interested and entertained.”
