A year ago, my friend emailed me shortly after Night It Up! and told me she won a Guitar Hero at a night market. I recalled seeing her at Night It Up! and inquired further. As it turns out, she played a game booth hosted by an E3 Challenge team and won a flippin’ Guitar Hero set. Yes, the game, the guitar, everything. Ridiculous, right?
This year, the E3 Challenge is doing it again. Five teams compete against each other in three challenges in two summer months. Their first challenge is to manage a game booth at Night It Up! Presented by Air Canada. The team that earns the most wins. Simple as that! E3 Challenge game booths run all night Friday and from 5pm-1am on Saturday. Here are some information about the teams and what they have to offer!

BBR is an extremely easy, flavourfully fun, and highly addictive DART game where players try to pop balloons and win exotic prizes. To win, players just need to destroy two balloons from the three darts given! Those skilled enough can attempt to win bigger prizes by decimating three balloons! Our prizes are drool worthy, especially the GRAND DADDY of all prizes, an XBOX 360! Look for our PROMOTER at NIU! with the floating balloon signs for FREE STUFF!
Find our booth at E4 with the DANCE music and giant RED balloon.

Team YA! will be creating a steady hand game for Night It Up! 2010, titled ?A-Maze-Ing Race?. The point of the game is to go through the wire maze in the shortest time without the wand loop touching the wire. Players will be given a limit of 45 seconds to complete the maze from start to finish and prizes will be awarded according to the time. A one-second penalty will be added for each time the wand touches the maze. The price will be $3 for 2 plays; an individual can have two tries, or compete against a friend by starting on opposite ends of the maze and racing to the middle.

Team: Team Arsenal | Booth Name: Oh My Ballz!
Facebook Event
There will be a cardboard spinning wheel where we will stick shapes of bubble tea cups and skewer sticks made from felt. There will also be fake golf balls that are light weight and covered in Velcro strips. The objective of the game is to have the player throw three or eight balls at the bubble tea cups or three or eight along the felt skewer, while the wheel is spinning slowly. If the player has thrown all the balls at the target in a way that lands in the bubble tea cups or lined up on a skewer stick, he/she will win a big prize. If the player did not get all the balls at their target, but has at least one ball on their target he/she can win a small prize.
