Q: What sparked your interest in participating in this year’s senior assassins?
A: I was interested in playing the game because I thought it would be a really fun way to end my senior year playing with the entire class
Q: How did you decide your team for the game?
A: My friend group conceit of 4 people so we knew we were gonna be on the same team for the beginning. We were really happy that it was 4 because we fit just perfectly.
Q: The game is very competitive to some, are you playing the game for fun or is your team committed to getting the grand prize of $1,000?
A: Both. It would be amazing to win the $1000 prize so that kind of motivates us to go out and keep playing the game but at the same time we are also doing it for fun since we didn’t do a lot of the normal senior traditions, we wanted to play because it was something “normal” in this odd year.
Q: What mistakes has your team made that has changed how you play the game?
A: Some mistakes we made were trusting other teams. In this game you can’t really trust even if they are your friends because after all we all want to win $1000 and only one team can win. We also now make sure to be there for each other if it’s past curfew for safety gear and one of us is working, we always go and make sure the person working gets home safe and doesn’t get shot.
Q: What is the main challenge of the game and how do you plan to overcome it in future rounds?
A: The main challenge is being assigned teams of people that we don’t know. It’s nice to meet new people but it also makes it difficult that we have to assign someone that we have no information on like where they live or what they even look like, It gets easier as the rounds have gone by because there are people that help us out which is nice and makes the game more competitive.
