Driving to work, walking to the gym and even lounging around at home, nobody is safe from Senior Assassin. Senior Assassin is a fun game where high school seniors “eliminate” each other by squirting water guns during a specified time frame. Players aim to hit their designated target, fostering a playful competitive atmosphere. To streamline the game, there’s an app called “Splashin” that helps organize and manage the gameplay, allowing participants to connect efficiently. This activity not only adds excitement to their senior year but also encourages camaraderie among classmates, making it a memorable experience as they celebrate their final year of high school together.
Senior Jacob Glick is one of the top players in Senior Assassin. Glick is confident that he will win it all. Winning is as enjoyable as playing, as it not only brings a sense of pride but also rewards participants with monetary gains. The competitive aspect adds an exciting layer to the event. Ultimately, both play and victory contribute to the overall experience. “Winning would be exciting because of the major bragging rights, but also the prize money is an insanely great added bonus,” said Glick. Despite Glick’s original confidence, he was eliminated during the sixth round of the game.
Aidan Mollberg is a senior that participated in Senior Assassin, but was sadly eliminated by Jacob Glick.“Every time we go out, there’s always people talking about it around us,” Mollberg said. “But when I was driving home from the gym, I was wrongfully eliminated. I should have had my goggles on,” she continued. In order to stay safe during Senior Assassin, it’s best to remain indoors and wear protective gear such as floaties or goggles. Students should avoid disguises that could raise suspicion and be cautious about trusting alliances, as betrayal is a possibility. Be vigilant of your surroundings and listen for unusual noises that might indicate an assassin nearby. If you feel followed, take evasive action by making unexpected turns or heading to a safe location. “Just be prepared for anything, unlike how I was,” says Mollberg. Currently, only 10 players of the original 80 remain. $400 is reserved for the game’s big winner, which has been keeping all players motivated.
Senior Assassin is praised by multiple seniors, providing an enjoyable experience before transitioning to college. Participants appreciated the fun and engaging nature of the activity. Many viewed it as a memorable way to celebrate their time together. The event helps seniors bond with each other. Overall, it contributed positively to their senior year experience.
