Evening Füsters!

GG here to report that you’ve done it . . . you made it all the way to the final week of gameplay! Höllenwoche (Hell Week) is really a misnomer as this week is no more difficult than the last couple (but it sounded good for dramatic effect). You’ve got your Drachen to slay and the final Long Winter Wog (Half Marathon Edition) but the rest of this week’s game play is pretty low key. Remember, we play through 5pm PST on Saturday, after which you can return to your regularly programmed life of sugar, alcohol and couch time (but GG hopes you don’t!). For now though, one last six day run. No more fasting, homework or Side Quests, just laser focus on the last big challenges of the game! So here’s wishing you good luck on your final push to the Finalefüste! Be proud of what you’ve accomplished so far as over half the Füsters who started on Jan. 2nd retired out early. But not you! Dedication to cause and self-discipline are clearly your fortè so finish strong and have a great Höllenwoche!

Now, here’s your game play summary for final week of Winterfüste 2026:

Daily exercise requirement = 2 Singelts, 2 Doppelts, 2 Trippelts

That’s it for today. GG will be in touch later in the week to provide some final guidance around the last couple days of the game.

May the Füste be with you!
