If These 8 Other Exciting Contests Were Added, Would the SEA Games Be Better ?

Nov 26, 2019   •   Kyzia Maramara

This year’s Southeast Asian Games is proudly hosted by the Philippines. Everyone’s excited about it, in fact, the hashtag #SEAGamesFail has been trending nationwide since last weekend where all sorts of fiasco went down. This event is just an endless string of bad news unfolding every hour quicker than those workers can finish the game venues. And speaking of unfinished stuff, since it seems as if nothing is final yet for this momentous event, maybe we can add more games?

Kaldero Relay Race

Mechanics: Each team will be given a giant cauldron or kaldero (organizers aren’t allowed to say how much it costs) and players have to ride it down a precarious unfinished skate park. Once they reach the bottom, they have to drag it up for the other players to ride.

The second part is where players have to scale the Php 55M 50-meter-tall SEA Games cauldron to retrieve the clue at the top and proceed to the next game.

 

Figure sleeping on chairs

Mechanics: The early birds for the SEA Games might have had a little practice but the rest of the teams could catch up. This game requires the players to line up chairs, lie on them as comfortably as they can, and sleep. Simple enough. Perfect points for those who can make it look like the most natural and easiest thing ever.

 

Pahabaan ng intermittent fasting hours

Mechanics: Do everything but eat for the entire duration of the Games. This seems easy enough since athletes are being served street food for meals anyway.

 

Logo and mascot design competition

Mechanics: Seeing as the current SEA Games logo should be treated as more of a suggestion than an official logo, athletes and artists will have to come up with the best logo for the games. They can be as creative as they want but their logo has to have historical significance and not just colorful bubbles, obviously.

 

Fashion show while wearing the Php 5,150 polo shirt and the Php 2,400 cap

Mechanics: Simple: purchase the polo shirt and model it. Just look at how excited the SEA Games organizer is to model his own fit:

 

Top Chef cooking segment

Mechanics: Athletes and their coaches will be given a limited budget with which they have to plan three healthy meals. The most important element in this game is the calorie content each meal will have. The team who will come up with the healthiest meal will be awarded and bonus points will be given for the team who had the most affordable meal.

 

Match the ID with the owner

Mechanics: A bunch of assorted IDs will be placed on a table. The first team to match 10 IDs with their owners will be declared winners. Don’t belittle this game, it’s actually a lot trickier than it sounds as some of the IDs have wrong photos on them. This will require group effort.

 

Calligraphy contest

Mechanics: Having someone in your team with great penmanship will guarantee your country a gold medal. All the teams have to do is recreate banners using nothing but a pen and a paper. They can put borders and designs all they want but we’re looking for that menu-perfect calligraphy.
