The Big Brother Naija house was buzzing on Tuesday night, August 12, 2025, as the familiar beats of the Guinness drums announced the first Gold-sponsored task of the season.
It wasn’t just a regular game—it was a special challenge by Guinness designed to test the housemates’ speed, focus, accuracy, and patience. Biggie explained the rules, the special Guinness setup was revealed, and the housemates knew they were in for a real test.
Before starting, the housemates were divided into four teams: Vibrant, Smooth, Refreshing, and Bold. Each team began with 100 points, and they had to earn more points while protecting what they already had.
The first part of the game, Break the Ice, seemed simple at first. Players had to scoop ice cubes from a marked box, move carefully through tires, and balance across wooden planks.
But one wrong move or the ringing of the bell could freeze them instantly, just like a scene from Squid Game. Some ice cubes were almost identical but had slightly different temperatures, and losing them at the wrong moment could cost valuable points.
Next up was Mind the Angle. Three members from each team had to squeeze through tricky cut-outs and quickly solve puzzles. Completing this task gave 15 points, with an extra 10 points for the fastest team. Mistakes cost teams 15 points.
Team Vibrant’s Jason moved through the shapes smoothly, while Team Bold sometimes sacrificed accuracy for energy.
The final stage focused on skill and precision rather than speed. Housemates needed steady hands and the right tilt to avoid spilling.
Biggie even gave hints that could help avoid losing points, but many didn’t notice until it was too late. This part of the game showed that rushing only led to mistakes and lost points.
The last task, Pour with Joy, reflected the real Guinness pouring ritual. It started with Break the Ice, then Mind Your Angles, and finally pouring carefully to enjoy every drop. The challenge wasn’t about who was fastest but who could pour with patience, focus, and joy.
For Guinness, this challenge was a classic Big Brother Naija moment. Over 10 seasons, Guinness has been part of exciting, problem-solving, and entertaining tasks for fans and housemates alike. This year’s opening challenge promises a bold, exciting, and unforgettable season.
