Captain Viki took us on a journey leading to a \u201cTropical Island\u201d. On board were the four participating teams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The Gummibierbande (last year\u2019s finalists)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The OGs (\u201cThe Originals\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The Don\u2019t Care, FIZZ It<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The ICBs (Ice Cold Beers)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d1caf741ded34b746388c8b_5ce3d6d13fb9637dd1263bc8_Gummibierbande.jpeg\" alt=\"Team at the Summer Games Playoffs in Darmstadt\"\/><figcaption>Remember the Gummibierbande? This is them now. Feel old yet?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Captain Viki made sure to shorten travel time with creative games full of love for detail.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cars on a boat \u2013 Why not? The first game to master was a Bobbycar race with some additional challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it was not before the second game until it became really HOT: It was time for Strip Beerpong! To (preventively) cool down some fiery tempers, it started to rain for around half an hour during this game. The FIZZies were not impressed by it and quickly moved the tables inside. Who would want to miss a round of Strip Beerpong?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third game was played outside again. At Wrecking Ball, a tennis ball had to be pushed only with the help of another ball inside a pair of tights, tied around the waist. Easy \u2013 and genius!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d1caf7443490463d5431ea6_5ce3d70b29095a2a2ddd73bb_IMG_1561%2520(3).jpeg\" alt=\"Wrecking Ball game at the Summer Games Playoffs in Darmstadt\"\/><figcaption>For Wrecking Ball, you need sensitiveness, momentum &#8211; and deft hip action.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWrecking Ball\u201d already sounds good for a laugh but the final game was absolutely hilarious. The teams had to act out different terms while wearing a \u201cfatsuit\u201d. At this occasion, the funniest pictures (and videos) accrued. Imagine pantomiming \u201cTwerk\u201d to your team members\u2026 Too bad, who missed it in our stories on Instagram!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d1caf744cf9cbd3915c30e3_5ce3d8ea65bfd5558be925be_IMG_1681%2520(2).jpeg\" alt=\"DJ and fun at the Summer Games Playoffs in THE FIZZ Darmstadt\"\/><figcaption>These two beauties really cut a rug to the DJ&#8217;s party picks!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also worth to mention: the food offer! Eisboutique Da Carlo served their delicious homemade ice cream during the games. Right when everybody was the hungriest after three games, the main caterer offered two sorts of meat and a delicious (and unjustifiable underrated) broccoli quiche. On top, we enjoyed some fabulous drinks from our partners Red Bull and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flora-power.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">floraPOWER<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before the party on \u201cTropical Island\u201d really took off, the winning team was announced:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-global.website-files.com\/5d1cabb890704ae66c985593\/5d1caf752b2ad2280c47e57b_5ce3d84ac86d1b1cafcc6169_IMG_1791%2520(2).jpeg\" alt=\"Winner team of the Summer Games Playoffs in Darmstadt\"\/><figcaption>Meet the OGs. Only original with hip(ster) bag.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s THE OGs \u2013 consisting of the FIZZies who had been living at THE FIZZ Darmstadt for the longest! Really experienced Summer Gamers, you know\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next time, we\u2019ll see each other at THE FIZZ Darmstadt in our Finale. Of course, the crew will be joining too: House Manager Gerhard, House Technician Salva, SBM Viki, DJ Gabriel \u2013 and many others.
