Whodunnit?
As in previous iterations. This Whodunnit has a mystery involving a sabotage of basketballs. This is the 8th and 1st version in which only 1 point per team is awarded. The following characters were suspects: Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, Patrick, Larry, Squidward, Gary and Mrs. Puff. On select days during the event, the characters came on and released their anecdote on what happened. The characters would also come on to answer user's questions as well in their topics. Users had to PM jjs who they think the culprit is. On March 30th, the culprit was revealed to be SpongeBob. The winners who correctly guessed (4EverGreen, Trophy, Fred, sbl, Ben, Hippy, Slug, Winter, SOF, OWM, Darkness, Hayden, RDSP, Goobz and Mythix) received 1,000 doubloons each.

Minigame
Basketball Dunking
A minigame held during the event, which worked similar to Shootouts from Sponge Cup. Users would throw a basketball at hoops, and the amount of points they received would be randomly generated, that is if they did not miss the hoop. The team that had the most overall points gathered by the end were the Band Geeks, with NegiSpongie being the highest scorer for the team.
