What is the name of the game Finny makes?

• A. Dodgeball
• B. Baseball
• C. Blitzball
• D. Tag

Answer: (C)

Finny’s idea thread in the story is his ability to turn athletic activity into spontaneous, inclusive play, and that comes through in the game he makes up on Devon’s field. He names it Blitzball, a fast-paced, rules-light sport that emphasizes speed, agility, and camaraderie more than formal competition. The name itself signals the energy of the game—quick, bold, and exciting—and it fits Finny’s mindset: a way to enjoy athletics without the pressures or constraints of established sports. This makes Blitzball the best answer because it is a unique invention Finny creates, not a preexisting game. The other options refer to standard sports that don’t capture the improvised, carefree spirit Finny embodies in this moment.
