To keep the bright spirit, Thalia led the next session that they had been waiting for, game session. In this session there were two games. The first one is to guess the song. Thalia played some hit songs on her phone and students had to guess the title and the artist.

The first game was so intense to the point Thalia had to play some extra songs to cut the tie score and the winner is revealed by the highest score of guessing the song. Riska came in first place, second was Ayu, and Wu Fan was third.

Same as before, they were invited to the front and given the snack bundles. That marked the end of the first game, but the fun was not over. ACES had prepared the second game, Cham Cham Cham. Thalia will say "Cham Cham Cham" and point her fingers to the left or right. The students must face the other way which Thalia's fingers are pointing. As the game went on, a handful of students were eliminated, leaving six students to face each other in the advance round.

This time, not only the students had to see the opposite of the pointing finger, they had to be fast, late reflexes would be counted as elimination. In the end, there were only three students declared as the winners.
