Game Show Competition Features Quickfire Questions and Rock Paper Scissors Challenge

In a lively and unconventional twist to the usual government meeting format, Santa Cruz County Supervisor Rudy “Bugs” Molera participated in a unique game show-style session on July 19, 2025. The atmosphere was charged with excitement as the meeting transformed into an interactive platform designed to engage the community in a fun and informative way.

The session kicked off with a playful introduction, where participants explained the game show concept. Each participant was invited to share a brief description of their role, followed by a rapid-fire round of ten questions. The rules were simple yet entertaining: responses were limited to 30 seconds, and a bell would signal when time was up. The competitive spirit was palpable as two participants, Sam and another colleague, engaged in a quick game of rock, paper, scissors to determine who would pose the first question.

As the game unfolded, the lighthearted banter and friendly competition created an inviting atmosphere, encouraging open dialogue and connection among attendees. This innovative approach not only showcased the personalities of the supervisors but also aimed to foster a deeper understanding of their work and the issues facing the community.

While the meeting maintained its focus on governance, the game show format provided a refreshing break from traditional proceedings. It highlighted the importance of community engagement and the need for local leaders to connect with residents in relatable ways. As the session concluded, it left participants and attendees alike with a sense of camaraderie and a renewed interest in local governance, proving that even serious discussions can benefit from a touch of creativity and fun.
