Treasure Hunt: Part II

The theme of the Treasure Hunt was: "Pirates of the Car-ibbean" which took us from KL to Melaka to Desaru. We traveled a total of 480KM in 2 days... 200KM for leg 1, and 280KM for leg 2.


At flagged off point, we were all given a set of tulips. Tulips are like maps. Basically we just follow the dots and arrows (as per example below) before tripping (resetting the distance counter) and traveling the distance required. The example below shows that Q4's answer is located in between the dot point for a distance of 0.65KM. Everyday, we have to follow 100 over tulips to complete the hunt.


So everyday, we had to complete Part 1: Comprising of 25 - 30 questions, Part II: Treasures Hunting and Part III: Physical Challenge.

• Part 1: Clues / Questions that were divided into several categories:

(1) Related to "Pirates of the Caribbean" without keyword(s)
Take this question for instance: "Charge to Will's dad". None of us remembered the details of the movie (which has 3 parts somemore) so when someone in the car mentioned that Will's dad could be "Bob", we went round searching for anything and everything with "Bob".

In the end, we couldn't find any and started calling other cars... It was only then we realized that we got the name wrong! Will's dad was BILL!!! So anyway, the answer was Pasaraya Billion. Why? Cos: (1) Charge = Ion (2) Will's dad = Bill (3) Charge comes after dad = BILL+ION - 'cheem' leh...

(2) Related to "Pirates of the Caribbean" with keyword(s)
Question: "Desperate enough Jack added Voodoo until leaders sensed it had taken place" - The word "leaders" here is a keyword that means 1... So we combined all the first alphabet of the words to form: D-E-J-A-V-U. The answer was: Restaurant Dejavu :)

(3) Not related to "Pirates of the Caribbean" without keyword(s)
Question: "The South American Black Pearl" - the guys figured this one out... Brazil being in South America and that "Pele" was a well-known footballer... and therefore the answer was: Kedai Gunting Pele

(4) Not related to "Pirates of the Caribbean" with keyword(s)
Question: "Lazy exclamation if you recall. Food and drink they have it all" - The word "recall" here is a keyword which meant that whatever the answer to this question, it could be read "terbalik". We translated the word "lazy" to "malas" and started hunting for everything with "salam" when we found the answer: Restaurant Al-salam (which means that the lazy exclamation answer was malas-la)

• Part 2: Treasures that we had to look for in between the start and finish leg which must be submitted intact at the Finish Station:

The clue sounds like this: If you recall the flash every time a soul leaves earth, The shade of brew I want will come to birth, Sea net untangled should really help you out, And you can come back with it having no doubt.

We had to break the question in several parts for the correct answer:
i. The keyword here is "recall" - again which meant we must read the answer 'terbalik'
ii. The REAL clue lies in this sentence: "Sea net untangled " - if you jumble up "sea net", it forms the word "NESTEA"
iii. The flavour that we were looking for was in the word "flash" cos "flash" is green in colour

The answer was therefore, NESTEA - Green Tea Flavour

• Part 3: A physical challenge that we need to complete upon handing in our answer sheets and treasures for the day:

Day 1: 1 person to swim / walk a short distance in the pool where the other person is waiting at the opposite direction. The 2nd person (upon completing his swim / walk across the pool) will unlock a chest to reveal stones that he has to re-arrange to form the word: Davy's Heart

Day 2: A set of 10 pictures were pasted on the wall and we were to categorize them into 3 parts of the movie

Did the Psycho Sonic won anything?
Hehehehe... OF COURSE we did... I won the lucky draw prize on day 1 - RM50 Petronas Voucher and my other colleague won the lucky draw prize on day 2 - 2 VIP tickets to watch any movie at TGV. Hehehehe... better than nothing la right... We were all first timers ma... :)
