Every Friday around 8:15-8:20 a.m. on KFAN 100.3 the Power Trip Morning show plays the Initials Game. The game involves 12 items people, place, things, phrases or anything as long as they share the same initials. All 12 items share the same initials. The contestants do not know the initials until they are revealed shortly before the game starts. Each item has 6 clues. As soon as the contestants know who or what the host is describing, they yell out their name. Their name is their buzzer. If the contestant gets it right, they get a point. If they get it wrong they are out for just that item. The item does have to be pronounced correctly. It is best out of 12 with tiebreakers if needed. Tiebreaker items have 3 clues.

New twist to the Initials Game starting Game 307. The Initials Game Jackpot presented by St. Paul Federal Credit Union. Before the initials are revealed each game, Hawkey will take a random caller, and the caller gets to guess the initials. If the caller guesses the initials correctly, they get the jackpot. If they guess one letter in the correct spot, the caller will get a $25 gift card. The jackpot will increase by $500 each week until someone wins the jackpot.
Starting in 2018, the Power Trip began holding Initials Game Majors multiple times per year. The Majors take place at a live appearance of the show. The primary differences between the regular Initials Game and a Major are:
- A rube is picked at random to participate in the Major
- The Major consists of 3 rounds of 10 questions each, for a total of 30 questions. One round is played each hour, 6:15 a.m., 7:15 a.m., and 8:15 a.m.
- Each round has a different set of initials.
- The winner of the Major is awarded a green jacket, which is later given to the winner of the next major.
Players
The Initials Game is typically hosted by Cory Cove and played by Paul "Meatsauce" Lambert, AJ Mansour, Chris Hawkey, and Mark Parrish. Some weeks there will be guests players who are coaches, professional sports athletes, actors, and TV hosts.

weekly listener prizes
At about 7:15 a.m. on Fridays, listeners can start to tweet who they will think when the Initials game with the #PowerTrip. The day of Game 242 the Power Trip announced points don't matter just predict who wins with the hashtag #PowerTrip. Guesses made after the game starts do not count. If the listener guessed correctly, they will be entered to win a prize. This year (2023) currently does not have a game sponsor that is offering any kind of gift card.
For Majors, listeners will need to get their Twitter guess in before 6:15 a.m. This is earlier than regular games so keep this in mind.
Players often have their own sponsor where there is a deal through the weekend that the listeners can take advantage of if a certain player wins. Please listen to the show to get the most current information. For example, if Meatsuace wins then the listeners can get a free drink at a certain restaurant for mentioning Meatsauce won Initials.

I have no affiliation with KFAN or the Power Trip Morning Show. Just a rube keeping scores and stats for rubes. I have never created a website before, and found out this isn't Mobile Friendly. Recommended to view as Desktop Site on your Mobile device.
