The question we get asked the most is "When is the next Team Challenge?". Well, as Daphne won the leprechaun event she has chosen what she wants for a team challenge. Would you like to take some guesses as to what it may be?

[Cait S]

Mmmm... Tower Teams? Towers wobble. I mean I guess they probably shouldn't but...

[Suzanne]

I have no idea, but knowing Daphne, it is going to be something pretty amazing!

My first thought was Jenga, so I'm with you! ;)

[Karen ⊰✿, Fiction Aficionado]

Oh Jenga is a cool game. Last time I played was with a 6 year old in Thailand (who beat me)

According to the online dictionary:

wobble
ˈwɒb(ə)l/

verb
1.
move or cause to move unsteadily from side to side.
"the table wobbles where the leg is too short"
synonyms: rock, move unsteadily, jiggle, sway, see-saw, teeter;

noun
1.
an unsteady movement from side to side.
"the handlebars developed a wobble"
synonyms: unsteady movement, totter, teeter, sway;


Not sure how that fits with a team challenge though. Maybe it means something else?......

The only thing that popped into my head was "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down."
Weebles were little egg-shaped toy "people" from my childhood. They had play sets and things. But I have no idea how something like that would work for a challenge. Just have to keep thinking...

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'm going to say the Wheel of ?

oh getting warm

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Oh ok. Let me think....hmmm

[Kazen]

A wobbly wheel... Tilt-a-whirl?

Eta: I see that this means different things in different places, I picture something like this:

[Cait S]

Honestly, my very first thought was that dance from a few years ago. You know? Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble--

But then I was like nah, no one listens to the same ridiculously awful music I do, that's not it.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I still think it's something to do with the Wheel...hmm the only thing that I can remember was the Wheel a thon or rainbow or something like that. The tilt a whirl and the color in the intro is making me think Wheel-a-thon?

[Plethora]

How long do we have to wait in anticipation for the big reveal???

The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round wobbling down the street? LOL

That is not the ride I remember as Tilt a whirl. I forget what we called it. This is what I remember as Tilt a whirl:

So I had to go look that up. Is it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qd6UI6w...
it seems decidedly "ridiculously awful" enough. haha

I said you were getting warm, not hot ;)

I can tell you that WOBBLE is something we have never done before. And all the mods are a bit scared (but excited) by it

how about a wobbly train instead of a bus? ;)



We will have a big reveal starting with our May newsletter. So you don't have long to wait :D

[RachelvlehcaR]

Tease!!!

Well what's the point of being a moderator if you can't mess with people now and again? haha

Interesting capitalization - does wobble stand for something? I can only get as far as Wheel of Books, Banter... somethingthingthing. ;)

Exactly what I'm thinking...

[RachelvlehcaR]

Wheel of Book Battles something... or wheel of buddy book leagues something.

Just grasping at straws here.

I'm in a sharing mood, so here are some of Daphne's words when discussing the prize:

Here are the things I enjoy most about group challenges:

1. I love reading competitions! They drive me on, and I love the camaraderie that grows within the team. I've met my favorite GR friends from being on a team with them. So I really want to pick a game that we get to compete. Like tower teams, GG, and Wheel-a-thon.

2. Longer events. I get so sad when they are over! The longer they are, the more I get to read and compete with my team, and the better I get to know my teammates. It's a win/win for me!

3. One that all the mods are super excited about leading! You all do such an absolutely splendid job with the group and the events. I want to make sure to pick a game that you all are as excited to lead as I will be to play.

[Monica]

I agree with those statements you shared from Daphne. I am terrible at guessing.

[Cait S]

Lol yes! That was the song. And hey, it's catchy.

Well I give up guessing but I'm looking forward to seeing what it is!

[Becky ♡The Bookworm♡]

I'm a mega-fan of Wheel-a-thon, but I'm always open to new things. My literal brain (and Google) came up with this:




Am I close?

I can attest to the fact that it happens a lot haha

[Diane Woods]

Its the first! Has it started yet?! :)

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Ok did we figure out what the challenge is? Come on I'm going crazy wondering. LOL

[Diane Woods]

I know! I was actually thinking about it when I woke up this morning. LOL

[Plethora]

Diane Woods wrote: "Its the first! Has it started yet?! :)"

Still the 30th for some of us.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

No one has guessed exactly what Wobble is.

There were two guesses in particular that were quite intriguing though. ;)

More info will be coming, really really soon!

Those are a newer version than what I had... mine actually looked like eggs like these: http://www.retroland.com/weebles/

[Plethora]

Perhaps something like Tower Teams, but having to not be toppled wobbled out of whack.
