What happens at a YAML Game
Warm‑up
Quickfire round. Is it a real YAML key or did we make it up? Spoiler: YAML is weird enough that you'll never be sure.
Main rounds
Pokémon or CNCF project? Real error message or fever dream? Team rounds, solo rounds, and at least one question that makes the room groan.
Prizes
Stickers, bragging rights, and the eternal respect of people who also can't pronounce "kubectl."

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to know Kubernetes?
A: No. Half the questions are designed so that knowing Kubernetes makes you overthink it. Beginners have a real advantage here.
Q: How long is each game?
A: About 30 minutes. Enough to have fun, not enough to miss your next meeting.
Q: What do I win?
A: Exclusive stickers, holographic stickers for repeat players, and the one thing money can't buy: being right about whether "Dragonfly" is a container runtime.
Q: Is this actually educational?
A: You'll accidentally learn things. We take no responsibility for the knowledge you absorb while laughing.
Q: Who runs this?
A: The YAML Games are brought to you by LearnKube. We teach Kubernetes for a living. This is what happens when we take a break.
