Treasure hunting
Last weekend my sister came to me with a very interesting proposition. Why dont we go treasure hunting she said. The hunt in mind? Food treasure hunting! She had heard about it through the grapevines and signed us up. Me, her and her gf. RM70 per person per car with a max of 4 people in each car.
We met up at 630 am on a Saturday. yes.. the things I do... and still werent close to being the first car there. By about 730 we were off! with a total of ~140 cars participating
(all the people waiting to go)
The trip is broken down into two phases. Phase one with four different locations. Clues are given to each team and youre supposed to note down the answer to be submitted. Answers can be found on signboards or signs around that area. Youre allocated four hours to finish this leg. After 4.5 hrs, you are disqualified.
(Example of clues : Newspaper that's brand new? Or are they greens for me and you)
Then you stop at the pit stop. And face a quick 'challenge'. Then go on to collect Phase two clues.
Phase two involves driving in accordance to the directions given - i.e. using the meter measurements. And again, being given clues and you having to find the answers on signboards around that area. You are allocated two hours to complete.
(Example of clues : Saya dengar siapa siapa pun boleh minum kopi di sini (I hear 'anyone' can drink coffee here))
At the end of it, you submit all answers to the final stop. On top of that you can also opt to complete the bonus questions and find the 'treasures' noted on a clue page in case a few teams would have the same score. The final challenge is then also used as a tie breaker.
(The final challenge)
In this case, the final challenge was to toss a roti canai in the most graceful way... not easy I promise you
(They also have a best dressed contest)
All in all, it was quite a lot of fun... and drama of course!
Go ahead and sign up for the next one. But be prepared! and take a nap the day before!!
