Basically one has to connect a line of three crosses/circles to win the game. The line can be cross-connected, vertically connected or horizontally connected. There will be a total of 9 boxes to put your circles/crosses. Instead of circles and crosses, we’ll be playing this game with training cones of different colors. Most importantly, this game will not be played with a pen and paper. You’ve to work for it by hitting the ground running!

One team consists of 3 players(Cross-institution is allowed) and the players have to assemble behind a starting line before the start of a game. A box will accommodate 9 small boxes to put those cones in. That box will be set a bit far (100m) away from the starting point. The cones will be set on either side of the box. Whenever the whistle/indication is given, participants have to run the length and put a particular color of cone into a box. When one contestant is done putting his/her cone in a box he/she will come back to the starting point as fast as possible and tag one of his/her teammate to enable that teammate to start running. The team managing to put 3 cones first in a line wins the game. There’s a simple yet key rule to this game, you can’t change the position of the cone once you’ve put it in a box. Also you can’t afford to change the position of a cone of the opposition.

There’ll be different segments for males and females for this intriguing game. So, Bring up your intensity game to the top, contestants!

//ALICE IN BORDERLAND:

Notre Dame Outward Bound Adventure Club is excited to announce the flagship event of 6th NAF, Alice In Borderland. Inspired by the series, this event is a survival-based game; the last one to remain wins the whole game show. For those who are familiar with playing cards, there are a total of 52 cards in a deck. But hold on a minute, this is obviously not a typical board game. In this event, every card of the deck represents a game with a certain level and genre. A hearts game identifies as a game of betrayal, where you play with the participant's trust and a wrong move shall push you towards elimination. On the contrary, a clubs game represents teamwork. Want to survive here? Work as a team, connect everyone's wit and strength. A diamond game is a game of intelligence and probability. In order to clear this genre, one must think out of the box! Lastly, a game of spades is a game of ultimate physicality and strength. The numbers 2-10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace resemble the difficulty of the games. A number 2 card is the easiest level and games gradually get harder as we proceed through the ascending order of the power or the cards up until The Ace card which is the toughest game of that respective genre. So to put you guys clear, a jack-of-hearts game is the 4th toughest game of betrayal and trust. As a deck of cards holds a total of 52 cards, there can be 52 possible games, where every genre has 13 games of its own. We will randomly hold games out of these 52. We're thrilled to host the first ever series based multiple game show in Bangladesh and eager for your active participation as the first to experience it!

//ROBBJACK:

Have you ever heard of the game “Robbjack”? It’s a classic outdoor game that can be played with a group of people and is perfect for getting everyone active and having fun.

The core concept of the game is that there will be an object in the middle of the playing surface, such as a ball or a foam block. The game is played between two teams each consisting of 4 players. Every player of each team will be assigned a number from one to four without the opponents knowing. When one of those number is called out, the assigned player with that number from each team runs to the center of the playing area and tries to grab hold of the ball and bring it back to their team’s side without the ball being touched by the opposing player.If a player is successful in stealing the ball and making it back to their team’s side, they earn a point for their team. If the ball is tagged by the opponent, the other team earns the point. The game continues with different numbers being called out until a predetermined number of points is reached, or until a designated time limit is up.

In conclusion, the game offers a unique and engaging experience for players of all skill levels. The different levels and challenges presented in the game require players to think strategically and quickly adapt to changing circumstances, keeping them on their toes throughout the game.
