The University of Idaho Residence Hall Association will host Spring Fling 2013 Wednesday through Friday with a theme of “Game Shows,” presenting “The Roommates,” “Hall Feud” and “Deal or No Deal.”
RHA programming coordinator Sarah Carson said the purpose of the event is for students to get together before finals. She said the “Game Shows” theme was her idea and it’s the first time they have done it for Spring Fling.
All three games are located at Bob’s Place in Wallace Residence Center. “The Roommates” starts at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, “Hall Feud” starts 8 p.m. Thursday and the biggest game, “Deal or No Deal” with prizes totaling more than $3,000, is 8 p.m. Friday.
Carson said “The Roommates” is based on “The Newly Weds,” “Hall Feud” is based off “Family Feud” and “Deal or No Deal” is the same game as its name-sake, with some
different rules.
“This is probably the biggest event that we have ever done,” Michelle Kissik, Wallace programming chair said. “Not only in how many people we expect to be there, but also in the amount of prizes we are giving away.”
Kissik said in “Deal or No Deal” there will be more than 60 prizes worth more than $3,000 from sponsors. The rules are somewhat different,allowing the audience a chance to win.
“If they choose not to open another case, it’ll just get eliminated, in our version if the case gets eliminated, it’ll then be raffled off to somebody in the audience,” Kissik said. “So everybody who has a raffle ticket has a chance to win.”
In “The Roommates,” Carson said competitors will test to see which pairing knows their roommate better.
“We ask few questions such as, ‘What’s their favorite color?'” Carson said.
There are ten rounds of “The Roommates” and a total of twenty prizes.
The RHA Programming Committee asked questions to 100 students for “Hall Feud” and the questions are specifically made for UI. Each team consists of five people and the team that has most points gets a party in their hall, Carson said.
“One of the questions we asked to 100 people is — What animal sounds do you hear in a barn yard?” Carson said.
