This past month was the annual SUFAC-hosted Pete’s Game, in which all the student organizations fight to the death for funding in a series of games in the underground tournament. In 2021, SUFAC was told by the university to limit the amount of money given out to student organizations, but they misread the email and thought that only one organization could have all the money, so they made the Death Arena for the annual games. Plus, SUFAC really wanted to see a live-action Squid Game.

Random representatives are picked for all 200 clubs and organizations regardless of years at university or skill level. During last year’s games, people have asked for there to be different games for Greek Life, seeing how they normally dominate the games, but the dissenters suddenly went missing, and their organizations were hunted down for sport by SUFAC.

This year’s games are as follows:

Freeze Dance, in which songs sung by JoJo Siwa were played, and if people kept dancing or writhing in pain when the music stopped, they were rounded up and fed to the campus squirrels. This year, 175 people were given to the squirrels.

Then there’s Duck Duck Goose, in which the remaining students sat in a circle and once they were tapped, they needed to try and outrun Petunia from Pioneer Sweets. If they got caught, they were fed Bridgeway food till they exploded.  Around 80 people were sentenced to Bridgeway dinner with no Garlic Bread or Chocolate Milk.

Give Pete His Pickaxe is kind of like a scavenger hunt game in which the remaining students hunt for Pete’s Pickaxe across campus. Once the Pickaxe is found, it needs to be returned to Pete before midnight, or he goes full Gremlins and eats people. Thankfully, that did not happen this year, and Clay Club was this year’s winner.

When trying to reach out to the Antagonist representative, we found that they had tripped and fallen into Pioneer Pete’s cave before the game began and have not been seen since.
