End Game is a balanced hybrid from Ethos Genetics, made by crossing Purple Sunset with Ethos Cookies #4. People describe a sweet and sour grape smell with fuel and pepper, and a happy, uplifted feel.

Where does End Game come from?

One strain database credits Ethos Genetics and lists the cross as Purple Sunset and Ethos Cookies #4, a Cookies selection from the same breeder. Another database's description gives the same pairing and also mentions Mountain Grown VT offering a version.

One small conflict: the parent field on one strain database shows AK-47 and White Widow, which doesn't match its own description or another database. We're going with Purple Sunset and Ethos Cookies #4, since that's what most of the sources say.

What does End Game smell and taste like?

Expect a sweet and sour mix: grape and blueberry on top, with fuel, diesel and pepper underneath. One strain database even mentions a sharp, ammonia-like note in some batches.

One strain database lists caryophyllene as its main terpene, which fits the peppery side. We didn't find a fuller terpene breakdown, so check your label for the rest.

End Game effects: what people report

People most often call End Game uplifted, euphoric and happy, with a balanced feel that brings in some relaxation and a bigger appetite as it goes on.

These are experiences people report, not promises. Dry mouth, dizziness and headaches are the complaints that come up, and how it lands depends on the product and your tolerance.

How strong is End Game?

One strain database lists End Game at about 25% THC and notes 1% to 3% CBD, which is a little more CBD than most modern hybrids. Another database also mentions notable CBD but gives no figure.

Those are single published numbers, so go by your label. If you're new to it, start with a small amount, and see our guide on THCa vs THC if the label numbers are confusing.

Buying End Game in Canada

End Game is a breeder-specific name, so look for any lineage notes on the package to be sure it's the Ethos cross.

Check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of the grape and fuel smell.

End Game vs Purple Sunset

Purple Sunset is one of End Game's parents, and the grape side of End Game likely comes from it. Purple Sunset leans fruitier and more relaxing, while End Game adds fuel and pepper from its Cookies parent and gets described as more balanced and upbeat. If you like Purple Sunset's fruit but want more gas and a brighter start, End Game is the one to try.
