Kelab TV3 Demam Bola Treasure Hunt

Date - 3rd July 2010

Entry fee - RM250

Team members - Aik, KC, Ming & Wern

This hunt, was officially the final hunt, the original Team Meeples participated in together for 2010.

If my memory doesn't fail me (since I lost the briefing notes), the hunt consisted of 35 cryptic questions, 5 treasures, and two challenges, which involved the following:

Kicking football

A representative of each team, were supposed to knock down three bottles in a "goal", to score a maximum of ten points (3 points for each bottle, and 1 bonus point if all 3 bottles were knocked down). Each representative was given two shots at the football. First one would be a trial shot, and the second would be the actual shot. My personal opinion, this was completely luck based!

World Cup Trivia

Each team had to answer 25 questions based on the World Cup (current and historical). With Google, it was not surprising to have most teams answer all the questions correctly.

In this hunt, what "upset" our team the most perhaps, was the fact that a third challenge which was supposed to have taken place, were cancelled on the day itself.

Now, during the briefing on the day before the hunt, hunters were shown a video. As the CoC had informed hunters that some of the questions would be based on the video, Aik had smartly captured the video using his camera and sent it to the rest of us the night before.

To prepare for the above "challenge", Ming and I spent approximately two hours going through the video screenshot by screenshot, to identify all the football players, teams, and matches the scenes were captured from. Satisfied we were, that we had done all we could to ensure that no points would be "given away" unnecessarily.

As luck would have it, when the CoC arrived to set up the final challenge, the video couldn't be "screened"!! And for obvious reasons, with the "consensus" of other teams, the CoC decided to cancel the challenge. It was even more upsetting when the CoC decided to merely show us the questions, as it was even more evident to us that we could've answered it all for sure!! *pulkssss*

And we eventually walked away with ninth position, with the following goodies:

Yes, the hamper was half my height.  >.<
