The Blue seniors will be characters from the childhood favorite game, "Candyland", whereas the Red seniors’ are presenting "Clue".

The Blue juniors will be pieces from "Chess", while the Red juniors will be "Monopoly". The Blue sophomores are playing the game "Operation", against the Red sophomores who are fighting on "Battleship".

Each night the teams will be competing against each other in exhibitions and in a variety of relays. The scores will be tallied, and at the end of Saturday night, the winner will be announced.
