If you missed last Thursday night’s Guinness Can Task, you definitely missed one of the wildest nights of the season. The house turned into an arena of chaos, laughter, and strategy, all thanks to Guinness, the Gold Sponsor that never fails to raise the stakes.

From the moment the challenge was announced, the tension was electric. The housemates were split into two squads, Team Bold and Team Smooth, with eight players each, ready to battle for the win. But this week’s twist turned everything on its head. The theme was Flying Solo, which meant there was no Biggie to guide them through the night. Instead, HOH Zita stepped up as Game Master, and let’s just say she ran the show like a pro, setting the pace, dishing out the rules, and keeping the energy high from start to finish.

The first challenge, Race You to It, kicked off with pure chaos (the good kind). Housemates had to collect as many Guinness cans as they could before the buzzer, but they had to do it wearing giant bubble suits. Picture it, the housemates bouncing into each other, flying out of the zone, and still trying to grab cans. It was hilarious but also intense because every win earned five crucial points for the team. Team Bold came out swinging and wasted no time securing their first big advantage of the night.

Then came phase two with the life-sized board game that tested both luck and strategy. Each spin of the wheel was either a blessing or a curse, as housemates landed on harp spaces that could help or completely sabotage their progress. The energy spiked each time someone fell into a Harp box, sending the whole room into screams and laughter. When the dust settled, Team Bold made it to the final space first and got to build the tallest Guinness can pyramid. Their teamwork here was unmatched, earning them the win.

But just when we thought the drama was over, Guinness hit the housemates with the ultimate curveball, The Guinness Can Hunt. Two players from each team had to search through 18 lockers to find two Guinness cans and two goblets. 

The catch? Only one key at a time could be taken from the bowl, and it had to be put back after every attempt. This meant players had to keep track, stay organized, and move fast. The tension in the room was crazy with housemates shouting clues, running back and forth, and praying their next key would be the lucky one. In the end, Team Bold cracked the code first, securing yet another win and setting themselves up for total domination.

And of course, no Guinness task is complete without the legendary Perfect Pour. Rooboy went in with speed and energy for Team Bold, while Thelma took her time and executed a textbook-perfect pour we’d all love to see for Team Smooth. 

When the final scores were counted, there was no contest that Team Bold swept the Guinness Can Task. Big shoutout to Faith, Koyin, Rooboy, Sultana, Dede, Joanna, Mide, and Kaybobo for staying sharp, staying bold, and giving us one for the books.

And let’s not forget the viewers as fans who engaged with posts on @guinness_africa were also winners, walking away with exclusive Guinness signature jerseys and cans of Guinness to keep the celebration going at home. This task was everything we love about Guinness challenges, bold moves, smooth teamwork, and unforgettable moments that kept everyone talking long after the buzzer.
