Hello, hello, hello!
You might have already noticed that there is something new about the North by Northwestern website. I’ll give you three seconds to guess: Three… Two… One… That’s right! There’s a new section tab up there: games! I knew there’s a reason you got into this school.
At North by Northwestern, we pride ourselves on being the number one news source for Northwestern’s sexiest and smartest students. After extensive polling (literally none) of what readers in our target demographic (gay girls and burnt-out Medillians) want, we have cooked up some great games for you:
Crosswords! Super original, yeah?. We’ll have a daily mini crossword (better than the Daily’s, pinky promise) and, if you ask reallyyyyy hard, we’ll throw in a weekly Sunday crossword. Just for you. Maybe. <3
News quizzes! I know what you’re all thinking: Life just hasn’t been the same without my weekly 202 news quiz. Fear not, dear reader. We’ll make sure you feel even worse about your news illiteracy for the rest of your time here at Northwestern!
Fake connections! Why play the real New York Times Connections with your free student subscription when you can play a worse version created by me instead?
Guess the Professor! Six fun facts about your favorite Northwestern faculty… How quickly can you pinpoint the prof? If you get it in one try, I’m calling the cops. Stalker.
Campus Geoguessr! How well do you know the carpeting in Tech L05? Or the roof of Swift that we definitely didn’t climb onto? Put your knowledge to the test with our very own Northwestern Geoguessr!
Venns… Figure this one out yourself.
Excited? I’m sure.
Wondering where the games are? They’ll come out soon. Trust.
Don’t trust me to make quality games? I don’t, either. Email [email protected] with any game-related ideas you may have, and stop by the McCormick Foundation Center’s second floor lounge on Sundays at 2:30 p.m. to pitch and create your very own games. See you soon!
