The BIG Tower of Power reaches new heights

Guest Author

The Big Tower of Power, sponsored by the RLA and The Big Event, took over High Rise Friday night from 6-9 p.m. to give the students a fun activity and the opportunity to sign up for the Big Event.

The Big Tower of Power consisted of games and/or obstacles on every floor of the building, and the only way students could advance to the next floor was to pass the obstacles on the previous floors and receive a bracelet of a certain color.

On the first floor of the building, the students signed up and received a bracelet to move up to the second floor. The second floor found students playing a game called “Egg, chicken, dinosaur.” This is basically just a grown-up version of Rock, Paper,

Scissors. Winning allowed them to move up to the next floor. On the third floor the students got tangled up playing Twister. Pictionary was the game played on the fourth floor, and Bag Toss was the game on the fifth. On the sixth floor, the students had to pose as whatever they drew out of a vase and get their pictures taken in order to advance. The seventh floor game was Black Jack and the students had to beat the dealer to move up. The eighth floor was charades and students had a great time acting out the items they chose. The ninth floor featured a Tic-Tac-Toe tournament that proved fairly difficult. On the tenth floor, the students broke a sweat trying to maneuver their way through the Crab Walk Obstacle Course. After finishing the course, students were able to move up the top floor and received a ticket for the smaller prizes.

Along with becoming eligible for the prizes, upon reaching the top floor, the students were also given the opportunity to sign up for the Big Event. Once they signed up for the Big Event, they were put in the drawing for a Kindle Fire.

“I thought the Tower of Power was a great idea. It was pretty fun, and I think it’s cool that they paired up with the Big Event., Shauna Murphy, sophomore of Hot Springs, S.D., said. Murphy was the first girl to finish all of the challenges and reach the top level.

Anyone still interested in signing up for the Big Event can do so in the Student Center until this Friday.
