'''Ring the Bell''' was a game that the [[SPARTAN-II]] trainees played their first day of training after the morning calisthenics and a lesson given by the AI [[Déjà]].

==Discription==
The game took place on several poles and platforms connected by bridges and pulley systems wich were placed severel metres above the ground discribed as looking like a forest of wooden poles, a maze suspendid in the air also called ''The Playground''. The Spartans were first told to form three lines out of these several teams of three were formed. The objective of the game was to have every member of your team ring a bell positioned on a pole standing higher then al other poles by navigating through a complicated maze of poles,platforms,etc. and then crossing the finish line with the rest of your team. As motivation the last team to finish did not get dinner.

===The First Time===
The first time the game was played by the trainees, [[John-117]] misunderstood the rules of the game, sped ahead and finished first, but didn't help his teammates, [[Samuel-034]] and [[Kelly-087]] - causing all of them to lose and go to bed without dinner.

===The Second Time===
The second time they played the pole was placed an additional 10 metres above the ground and the number of bridges was decrased to increase difficulty although it had a pulley system that led directly to the top. This time John-117 chose to help his teamates, although John came in third this time his entire team made it.

== Trivia ==
* The first night the dinner they contested for was roast turkey, gravy and mashed patatoes, corn on the cob, brownies, and ice cream.
* Sam, Kelly and John became friends after they finished the second game. 
* The bell used for this game was also used as the goal for the first test for the MJOLNIR Mark V ,in which [[John-117]] was to make his way across an obstacle course, including armed ODST's, LOTUS anti-tank mines, and an airstrike on his first day with [[Cortana|Cortana]].
