AIC首届“鱿鱼游戏”狂欢日：欢乐、笑声与竞技的盛宴！

第一阶段的欢乐与“混乱” 就此开启！每位学生都积极参与了五个快节奏的挑战项目，毫无保留！

Phase One was where the chaos and fun truly began. Every student joined in for five fast-paced challenges, and no one held back.

【战舰对决】 - 策略与心跳！
我们以真人版经典策略游戏“战舰”拉开序幕。两支队伍在巨大的8x8网格上，精心部署他们的“战舰”（也就是队友们！）。队长们像战场指挥官一样高声喊出坐标，每个人都屏息凝神，“躲避”虚拟导弹的袭击。每一次“直接命中”都伴随着震耳欲聋的欢呼。场面紧张刺激、充满策略，又出奇地爆笑！

We kicked off with Battleship, a life-size version of the classic strategy game. Two teams went head-to-head, carefully placing their “ships” (aka classmates!) on a giant 8x8 grid. With team leaders shouting out coordinates like battlefield generals, everyone was on edge, dodging imaginary missiles and celebrating every “direct hit” with roars of excitement. It was intense, strategic, and surprisingly hilarious.

【椪糖挑战】 - 屏息凝神！
接下来是椪糖挑战，气氛瞬间转为绝对的安静与专注。一手拿着糖饼，一手拿着牙签，学生们小心翼翼地雕刻着星星、心形和雨伞的形状，仿佛性命攸关。一个失误——“咔嚓”，游戏结束！现场静得能听到针落地的声音，每个人都屏住呼吸，以近乎外科手术般的精准度进行操作。

Next came the Dalgona Cookie Challenge, and the mood shifted to total silence and focus. With a cookie in one hand and a toothpick in the other, students carefully carved out stars, hearts, and umbrellas like their lives depended on it. One wrong move and crack — game over. You could hear a pin drop as everyone held their breath and worked with surgeon-like precision.

【一二三木头人】 - 冲刺与冻结！
随后，我们在足球场上展开了“一二三木头人”的对决。学生们时而冲刺，时而踮脚潜行，又在奔跑中突然冻结。巨型玩偶“卡洛琳”担任守卫，一个错误动作就意味着淘汰——还有随之而来的阵阵笑声。老师们遍布全场“盯梢”，更增添了戏剧性。紧张感真实可感，冲向终点线的冲刺更是肾上腺素飙升！

We then faced off with Red Light, Green Light, where students sprinted, tiptoed, and froze mid-run across the football field. With Caroline, the doll, standing guard, one wrong move meant elimination, and a lot of laughs. Teachers stationed all over the field were on the lookout, adding to the drama. The tension was real, and the dash to the finish line was pure adrenaline.

【抱团组队】 - 瞬间结盟！
紧接着是动感十足的“抱团组队”。音乐响起，学生们翩翩起舞或四处游走。但当音乐戛然而止，主持人喊出一个数字时，场面立刻变成了争分夺秒寻找合适人数伙伴的疯狂大混战！“我们需要一个人！”“加入我们！”的喊声此起彼伏，联盟在几秒钟内结成又瓦解。充满不可预测性，场面狂野，绝对引爆全场！

Then it was time to move — and move fast — with Shape Up. As the music played, students danced and wandered around. But the moment it stopped and a number was called, it was a mad scramble to find the perfect-sized group. Shouts of “We need one more!” and “Join us!” echoed around as alliances were made and broken in seconds. It was unpredictable, wild, and a total crowd-pleaser.

【水桶接力】 - 精准与协作！
最后，我们以“水桶接力”结束了第一阶段。这个挑战意外地激发了每个人严肃认真的表情。队伍严阵以待，全神贯注，用小桶举过头顶接力传递水源。不同于之前的喧闹，这一轮比拼的是精准与控制。大多数学生动作谨慎，决心不让一滴水洒出。偶尔水桶倾斜或水花四溅时，他们脸上难掩的失望之情清晰可见——他们是真的在全力以赴！这是第一阶段一个安静却紧张激烈的收尾，充分展现了每个人对“分毫必争”的投入。

Finally, we wrapped up Phase One with the Water Bucket Relay, a challenge that surprisingly brought out everyone’s serious game face. Teams lined up with laser focus, passing water from one end to the other using small buckets held overhead. Unlike the earlier chaos, this round was all about precision and control. Most students moved carefully, determined not to spill a single drop. And when the occasional bucket tipped or water sloshed out, you could see the disappointment on their faces — they were really trying! It was a quiet but intense end to Phase One, showing just how committed everyone was to making every drop count.

第一阶段结束，学生们虽然精疲力尽、浑身湿透，却都笑逐颜开。积分统计完毕，前五名高分选手脱颖而出，准备迎接终极挑战。

By the end of the round, students were exhausted, soaked, and smiling ear to ear. Points were counted, and the Top 5 scorers emerged, ready for the final challenge ahead.

终极竞速是最终的巅峰对决，节奏快、强度高、充满变数。我们的五强选手——Constance、Joey、Nikolay、Felipe和Baha——挺身而出，接连面对四项挑战，将他们的记忆力、耐力、平衡力、协调性和问题解决能力推向极限！

The Final Race was the ultimate showdown, fast, intense, and full of twists. Our Top 5 contenders — Constance, Joey, Nikolay, Felipe, and Baha — stepped up to face four back-to-back challenges that pushed their memory, stamina, balance, coordination, and problem-solving to the edge.

【记忆冲刺】 - 脑力与体力的双重考验！
比赛从记忆挑战开始。选手们需要记住一串独特的符号序列，但这不仅仅是脑力的较量。真正的考验在于他们需要在参考板和拼图板之间来回冲刺。这要求高度专注、速度和耐力。有人开局落后，也有人稳扎稳打保持节奏。

It all began with the Memory Challenge, where players had to memorize a unique sequence of symbols but it wasn’t just about brainpower. The real test was in the back-and-forth sprinting between their reference board and puzzle board. It demanded sharp focus, speed, and stamina. Some fell behind early, while others paced themselves to stay in the game.

【瑜伽球跳跃】 - 平衡与控制的挑战！
接下来是瑜伽球跳跃，带来了阵阵欢笑也伴随着些许沮丧。选手们需要在标记区域内弹跳前进，保持平衡和动力。有人轻松滑过，也有人偏离了轨道。

【滑溜垫爬行】 - 速度与技巧的比拼！
然后迎来了滑溜垫爬行。选手们匍匐、滑行、奋力冲刺，只为穿越这条湿滑的赛道。

Next came the Yoga Ball Bounce, which brought both laughs and frustration. Players had to bounce across a marked area, maintaining balance and momentum. Some glided across with ease, others bounced off-course.

Then came the Slippery Tarp Crawl. Players crawled, slid, and hustled to make it across the slippery course.

【七巧板拼图】 - 心智的终极对决！
最后，选手们抵达了七巧板拼图区，这是整个竞速中最烧脑的挑战。身体疲惫不堪，肾上腺素却仍在飙升，选手们必须保持专注，解开复杂的谜题，拼成一个完美的正方形。紧张气氛弥漫，现场一片寂静，每个人都沉浸在自己的思维世界中。无人放弃！

Finally, the contenders arrived at the Tangram Puzzle, the most mentally demanding challenge of the race. With bodies tired and adrenaline high, players had to stay focused and solve the complex puzzle to form a perfect square. The tension was real, everyone was silent, locked into their own mental game. No one gave up.

就在感觉胜负难料之际，Constance 将最后一块拼图归位，以激动人心的方式锁定胜局，勇夺冠军！Felipe紧随其后，获得亚军。Baha也全力以赴，成功夺得季军！

这最后一轮完美地考验了韧性、策略和决心，每一位五强选手都出色地迎接了挑战！

And just when it felt like anyone could take the win, Constance put the final piece into place and grabbed the win, claiming 1st Place with a thrilling finish. Felipe was right behind, earning 2nd Place, and Baha powered through to secure 3rd Place.

This final round was a perfect test of resilience, strategy, and heart, and every one of the top 5 rose to the occasion.

本次活动最特别之处在于它由学生主导，并作为创造、行动与服务 (CAS) 项目的一部分。活动由我们才华横溢的学生会 (STUCO) 团队策划组织，并得到了刚刚完成IBDP大考的12年级DP学生们的鼎力支持。整个活动充分展现了学生的创造力、领导力以及对AIC社区的奉献精神。从游戏策划、站点布置，到现场主持、引导和加油助威，学生们始终是活动的核心和灵魂！

What made this event truly special was that it was student-led and a part of the CAS program. Organized by our STUCO team and supported by the dedicated DP2 students (who had just completed their IBDP exams), the event showcased creativity, leadership, and service to the AIC community. From planning the games and setting up stations to hosting, guiding, and cheering, students were at the heart of it all.
