🎉 After your exams, it's time for some AC-tion! 🎉

Need a vACAtion from CAlculations, appliCAtions, and ACAdemic distrACtions? Come join the AC for a (mildy) ACtive outdoor ACtivity pACked with attrACtion, reACtion, interACtion, and maybe even a little bit of chaos!

Wear sporty shoes and prepare for some ACtion. We won't venture ACross the forest, but there's a fair chance you'll ACcumulate a bit of mess as the excitement ACcelerates. ACcurACy is optional; enthusiasm is ACcepted and encouraged!

While other teams are in ACtion, you'll have plenty of ACpACity for relaxation: bring your snACks, drinks, picnic blanket, and enjoy the atmosphere. Consider it a combination of recreation, social interACtion, and strategic snACk ACquisition.

Whether you're an ACAdemic ACe, an ACcomplished athlete, or just someone seeking ACceptance into a CAsual gathering after exam season, this ACtivity has something for everyone. Expect laughter, friendly competition, spectACular reACtions, and maybe a few ACcidental victories.

It is a game in which you have half a minute to describe as many words as possible to your team member without saying the word itself. Exactly! 30 Seconds!

Do you like 30 seconds, but are the words becoming boring? Do you have no idea who the random "famous" celebrity on your card is? Then come play 30 Seconds with custom made GEWIS cards, containing GEWIS (and university) related words.

A fun game night with snACks for the low low price of €0!

We will see you there!

With this 4th installment, AC Lego Building is bACk! Once again we will spend an evening building Lego sets together with your fellow GEWIS members. We will have a variety of sets, bringing back some classics, but also providing new ones. There will be snACks to enjoy during building.

You can add your "Wok"-dish on the "Fuso Wok" sign-up list on this ACtivity before 14.00h on the 19th of November. You can pay using a debit/credit card.

On November 15th, Sinterklaas returned to our nation

Here for our beautiful celebration

And this of course includes putting your shoe at the fireplace

And Sinterklaas filling it up without leaving a trace

He will fill it with surprises and candy

But living without your shoe is of course a little unhandy

So to make sure you are not feeling blue

You can make your shoe using paper and glue

And instead of the fireplace, just put your shoe here

And it will be filled with goodies, unless you have been bad this year

Love,

AC Piet

TL;DR: Make a shoe using your arts and crafts skills and the materials provided in the GEWIS room and check back in on your shoe throughout the next few weeks to find surpires in it.

On October 8th, we are organizing a GEWIS-related game called "AC avoid the BHV" for as many members of GEWIS as possible.

The game is a twist on the iconic game "Mafia", customized GEWIS versions have been created for all roles to breathe some new life into the game.

 Instead of not getting killed by the mafia, the goal is now to avoid being put on water by a BHV'er. 

Play the game tACtiCAlly and make sure you can keep enjoying drinks without intervention.

There will, of course, be free snACks.

So don’t wait and sign up now for this wonderful ACtivity.

The AC is bACk with yet another immACculate and spectACular ACtivity!

It is almost the end of a very intense and difficult ACademic year. To relax and let go of some frustration, we have organized an ACtivity where you can hit balls with a stick!

We are going to go glowgolfing at Hollywood Entertainment Center Eindhoven, where your precision and anger management skills will be put to the test.

For the low low price of €8.00 we will provide you with the unforgettable experience of playing a game of minigolf in a glow in the dark environment. You can pay using a debit/credit card.

At around 19:00, a group will depart from GEWIS towards the location by bike, but of course you can also go there by yourself.

Hugs, the AC

It's morning in Miller's Hollow. You wake up to the sound of screams: "The mayor is dead!" "Werewolves must have done this!" "They'll pay for this!" 
The town is in turmoil. Will you help Miller's Hollow through this crisis? Or are you secretly a werewolf?

The AC Werewolves ACtivity is bACk once more! For those who don't know it, Werewolves of Miller's Hollow is a social deduction game like Maffia. The townsfolk try to find and execute the werewolves who devour one of them every night. The werewolves want to take out the town for their food and safety.

For those who don't survive the chaos (or those who prefer a faster paced game), we have the one night version as well. Or you can chat with some snACks while you watch the chaos evolve.

See you on the 19th!

With this 3rd installment, AC Lego Building is finally tradition! Once again we will spend an evening building Lego sets together with your fellow GEWIS members. We will have a variety of sets, bringing back some classics, but also providing new ones. There will be snACks to enjoy during building.

Sinterklaas is arriving in our beautiful country again on the 16th of November.
We hope everyone at GEWIS has behaved well this year and is on the nice list.
Sinterklaas has reached out to us, the AC, to ask if we CAn help him deliver some presents and snacks to the members of GEWIS. Thus we are organizing the SinterklAC ACtivity. From the 18th to the 22nd of November you can come to the GEWIS room and fold and color a paper shoe to place at the GEWIS "fireplACe". During the following weeks up until the 5th of December SinterklAC and his Orange Pieten will ocCAsionally stop by to deliver some small gifts and strooigoed. So make sure to fold and decorate your paper shoe to receive some free surprises.

Hugs, SinterklAC

There is a lot you can do in half a minute. You could crACk some mACadamia nuts, fACt check your friends, or play a round of 30 Seconds! The latter is the most fun of course, so we decided to turn 30 Seconds an ACtivity.

For the people who don't know 30 seconds, here's a quick explanation. You play in teams (or subscribe alone to be paired up with a random other player). When it's your team's turn, one teammate gets a card with 5 words (or names, phrases etc). That teammate gets 30 seconds to describe these words to their team. They are not allowed to use the words themselves, parts of them (words like 'and' and 'the' are fine), or translations. 'Sounds like' hints are not allowed either. Your team earns a step forward on the board for every guessed word. There is a die as well that reduces the steps forward by 0, 1, or 2 steps. The goal of the game is to reach the finish line first. We will play in English with self-made cards. As we will still need to something to play on, we kindly ask you if you would be willing to bring your (Dutch) 30 Seconds board game.

If you're the type of person who enjoys playing a fun game with GEWIS friends (and maybe make some new ones in the process), you do not want to miss this! If you enjoy tasty snACks, we will provide those as well.

It is also possible to join us for dinner at 17.45h in the GEWIS room. We will order Fuso Wok. You can add your "Wok"-dish to the "Eating List" sign-up on this ACtivity before the 15th of October at 13:42. You can pay using a debit/credit card.

See you there!

Hugs,

the AC

Flunkyball is a game where two teams compete against eACh other. You and your team stand on one side of the field next to eACh other, with a CAnned drink in front of eACh person. In the middle of the field stands a bottle. Each team takes turns trying to knock over the bottle with a ball. If the bottle is toppled, the whole team CAn start drinking until the opponents have set the bottle upright again, brought the ball back behind their line, and all players are standing by their CAns again. The team that finishes drinking all their CAns first wins.

So, do you want to prove you're the best at chugging, show off your aim, or just feel like playing Flunkyball? Sign up now! You CAn join with half-liter CAns of beer (6% alcohol), radler (3% alcohol), or soft drinks.

The idea is to form 4 teams. The winners of the first match will play in the winners' final, and the losers will also get an extra game. The €5 contribution is to buy 6 CAns, which should be enough for two games as long as you don’t get too many penalty CAns. If there are CAns left at the end of the game, there will be room for some extra matches after the competition.

There is no food list for the event, but the AC will be grabbing a kapsalon at Hizmet at 18:00 before setting up the ACtivity. So feel free to join us for dinner there!

See you then! Hugs, AC

Are you a real chess pro? Or are you a CAsual player who wants to have some fun? Either way, we have the ACtivity for you: hand & brain chess!

Together with S.C.C.E. Noesis, the student chess association, we are organising a fun (k)night of chess and comradery. We host a hand & brain tournament in which you CAn show both your chess skills and teamwork. We will set up extra boards for those who want to play some more chess between rounds.

For those who don't know what hand & brain means, here are the rules. You play with a partner. One of you is the hand, the other the brain. When it's your move, the brain names a piece (e.g. pawn). The hand needs to move any piece of that type. CAstling is a king move. Note that the hand and the brain don't get to discuss moves. Hinting your brain what piece to name is not allowed either.

Of course your brain needs some fuel for chess. Therefore, we will order Fuso Wok, which will arrive near the start of the ACtivity. You CAn add your "Wok"-dish on the "Fuso Wok" sign-up list on this ACtivity before 14.00h on the 10th of June. You CAn pay using a debit/credit CArd.
