Is that your final answer? Can I phone a friend? Can I ask the audience? These are some famous tag lines of the game show “Who wants to be the Millionaire!” This show has been running for a long time now and is everyone’s favourite. But for tonight, the GEO game show has been the most admired and much awaited match of all. Everyone was really excited to know who will win this competition. Who will win this time? Let’s find out!
First Round: Guess the Number

Each team needs to compete at the same time. They will be given a certain amount of time to answer the questions raised. Due to this limitation, the students’ need to think fast and try to answer the given question correctly as quickly as possible. This added more tension to each group.
Second Round: Boggle

The rules of this improvised Boggle game is similar to the word game designed by Allan Turoff. Each team was given a sheet of paper and the team attempts to find words in sequences of adjacent letters. There were three different levels for this round, 3 letter words for easy round, 4 letter words for the medium and 5 letter words for the difficult round. Each round had a corresponding time limit. The team with the most number of words for each round gets full 10 points.
Third Round: Golden Bell

For the Golden Bell game, the mechanics was almost the same as the first game. But this time; each member of the team should write their answers and raise it individually. The members who raise the wrong answer will be eliminated. This is a survival game and the team who has the most number of people at the end of the series of questions wins. During the last round, Team New Zealand and Team Singapore were on the hot spot. The question was “What kind of animal can’t jump?”. The choices were a. Chicken, b. Elephant, or c. Hippopotamus. And as the timer starts, the students were all shouting and cheering for their team. Wheew! The survivors were really pressured! Team New Zealand’s answer was C while team Singapore’s answer was B. And the Answer was B! And Yes, you guess it right… Team Singapore won!!!
