Senior Assassin, a game involving teams, water guns, and tracking down your target has quickly become one of the most talked-about parts of senior year, and most students agree it’s been a fun way to bring everyone together.
Xander Solis said the game has been “fun,” while Alejandro Valencia explained that it’s helped the senior class connect and have a good time. Samira Brown also shared that it’s been “great and fun so far,” especially since she has made it to round five.
One of the biggest debates in the game right now is about purge days. The purge is a day when your goggles and floaties won’t provide protection so you either hide out or stay on guard. Many players prefer free-for-all purges because they add more excitement. Solis said they make things “a lot more fun,” and Valencia likes them because you have to stay alert at all times. Estrada also supports all purge days. However, not everyone feels the same, Brown mentioned she prefers the current system because she thinks it’s fair.
When it comes to eliminations, some players have had more success than others. Solis admitted he has tried but hasn’t gotten anyone out yet, while Brown said she has “succeeded with one elimination.” Valencia and his partner have been especially successful, already getting four people out so far, showing how competitive the game can get.
Another big topic is whether it’s fair for someone to stay in the game if their partner is already out. Most players think it is. Solis explained that if both teammates were eliminated together, “there would be no point of having a team.” Valencia agreed, saying the whole team shouldn’t lose because of one mistake. Brown also supported this, pointing out that everyone agreed to the rules at the start.
As for possible rule changes, most players seem happy with how things are. Solis said the rules are already “perfect,” and Brown didn’t think anything needed to change. Still, a few ideas came up, Estrada suggested adding reboots, and Valencia mentioned there should be a rule about people leaving their phones at home to try and get others out.
Right now, 77 players are still in the game and competing. Solis is still playing even though his partner was eliminated a few weeks ago. Brown is also still in, but her partner got out early. Estrada and his partner are both still in, and Valencia said he and his partner are “ready to win it all.”
Senior Assassin has been a fun and competitive experience for seniors. Whether it’s free or all purges or regular gameplay, the game is keeping everyone involved and on their toes as it continues.
