The Go Game UK and Europe hosted the Super American Spectacular Go Game this weekend! As a community game open to the public, it was a fantastic Saturday getting everyone to get together to have a good time. For the U.S. expats in the crowd, it was a chance to honor the 4th of July and American independence back home. For everyone else, it was a unique opportunity to take the piss out of those bloody Americans by celebrating the best and the worst of the good old U.S. of A.
Teams wandered the back alleys of Shoreditch solving puzzles and meeting our undercover foreign spies, brought all the way over from across the pond. We had American actors facilitating all sorts of ridiculous themed challenges - meet your very own George-Bush loving hillbilly, or experience your first American frat party! The teams also showcased their creative chops and let loose with what they REALLY think about America with some hilarious photos and videos.
We had spectacular dancing moments of American history, from iconic moments like the fabulously danced death of JFK as well as the recent Roddick vs. Murray Wimbledon triumph as performed through ballet in a pub. We're pretty sure the other pub patrons hate America now. We also had teams stage a photo of a stereotypical American scene, perform a video about the next US invasion, and of course pay tribute to a recently departed American icon – the King of Pop.
Following the tradition of showcasing our favorite missions from each community game, we now present the highlight photo and video from Saturday's Super American Spectacular!
From The Professionals, our only group of all Brits, we have a stereotypical American scene entitled 'The Patriot.' I was quite impressed that this team held their own amongst all the rowdy American flag-wearing, beer-chugging Roddick fans in the house. Nicely done, Professionals!
Our favorite video came from the team that ultimately took home the big prize - Team Uniform Sierra Alpha. We asked them to film a short movie showing America's next invasion and they came up with a hilarious video: 'America vs. Hogwarts.' Ingenious idea, special effects, great acting, and Chris even throws in an intro and soundtrack. I can't even tell you how spectacularly happy this movie makes me.
We had a fantastic time celebrating the Fourth of July with both Americans and non-Americans, but most importantly with lots of Budweiser and a whole lot of 'F*@% YEAH AMERICA!' Thanks everyone for playing and we hope to see you next time!
