The Big Game Show
Host: Carlos Ojeda Jr.
A fun and interactive test of wit and strength (okay, so no feats of strength.) The Big Game Show is a virtual game show that mixes trivia, college readiness, and silly, crazy questions to produce a virtually cool experience. Every student can compete, every student will be tested, and every student will laugh and have fun, but only one student can win the Big Prize.
