Senior Assassin Winner by Will Ayers
Senior Assassin is a game played by seniors throughout the United States. This year, Saugatuck High School Seniors decided to participate.
To participate, it is a ten dollar buy-in, with five dollars going to buy water guns and the other five dollars going to the winning pot. Each week the participants were randomly assigned another player to “assassinate” within the week by squirting them with their water gun. The players only know their specific target and do not know who has to attempt to eliminate them. For each player there is a free week in which they do not have to eliminate their target, but after that if they fail to eliminate their target, they are out. As the weeks continue there are less and less players, resulting in one final player who wins the money.
The first week there were 22 seniors who were participating in the game. After the first week ended, there were only 14 seniors left, meaning that in the first week alone eight seniors were eliminated. In week two, seven more players were eliminated leaving only seven seniors left. Two of those seniors still had their free week: Trinity and Anna. In the first few days of the week, Natalie eliminated Anna, bringing the total players down to six. As the week came to an end, nobody else was able to eliminate their target because everyone was hiding. As a result, Trinity won the game as she was the only one with her free week left.
The 2022 Senior Assassin Champion is Trinity Stygstra! After being interviewed about the game Trinity said, “Overall, the game was really fun, and a great thing that bonded the senior class. In the first week I was scared but knew that I had to try to get to my target, which was Braylen. After showing up at her house and failing to get her, I tried two more times until I finally was able to eliminate her at her house. Unfortunately, Jessica, another player, sacrificed herself to draw Braelyn out, which I feel bad about. Then in my second week I waited for Naleah outside her house and got her when she surrendered to get to school. In my third week I was able to eliminate Natalie at her boyfriend's house. When it came down to it, I ended up winning because everyone else failed to get their targets.”
So there you have it, Trinity Stygstra is the 2022 Senior Assassin Champion. Overall, the Senior Class had a blast participating in the game and was a great way to bring together the seniors and bond over a fun three week long game.
