Semi-FinalWatch Party
France
Spain
Winner
Spain took the win and booked their spot in Sunday’s final.
The Teams
All star guests from the teams we are proud to work with. Everyone on the same side for the semi-final.
Watch Party
What a turnout. We took over The Vintage Conservatory, put Spain against France up big, and opened the patio. Man, was it hot out. That did not stop anyone: 77 guests checked in, our largest event yet. Spanish and French beer and wine, a seriously good spread, and a room that stayed loud right through to the final whistle.
Painted Live,
Won That Night
We had to add a little something special, in regular Spark fashion. The incredible Joëlle Dufour spent the night on the patio painting a completely one of a kind Kylian Mbappé, live, from blank canvas to finished piece. Nobody saw it coming. By full time it was the most watched thing in the building that was not the football.
One guest was going home with it. So we made everyone earn their tickets.

So we got everyone playing. Chris vibe coded a custom game for the party: guide the ball through a field of hiring hazards, dodge the ghosters and the red flags, collect every great hire you can. Every play earned a spot on the leaderboard and an entry into the raffle for the painting. Cheesy, addictive, very Spark. It is still live, so go claim your spot. Do not get ghosted.
Leaderboard
Every run fed the board, and the board fed the trash talk. Beyond the raffle entries and the door prizes, there was one thing everyone actually wanted: the prestigious top spot, the GOAT. Cole Philp took it and held it. Honourable mentions to those who fought hard to take the top spot on the leaderboard.
Halftime Showdown
At the break, it goes head to head. Two players, sixty seconds, one screen, winner stays on. Beat the person across from you and the next challenger steps up. Halftime stops being a snack run and becomes the main event.
Jumbotron
The big screen carries the drama. Live scores, the current champion, and a QR code that scans anyone straight into the queue for their shot. Jumbotron energy, minus the kiss cam.
The GOAT
One name climbed to the top of the leaderboard and stayed there all night. Cole Philp, the highest score of the party.
Now it is the rest of our network’s turn. Beat the Bad Hire is live.
