A TWIST IN THE TALE OF THE ORIENT HUNT

GEORGETOWN 29 MAY 2011: As far as the Grand Slam hunts go, Kiwanis hunt must be one of the most eagerly-awaited events of the year. After all, it is the most prestigious and longest running hunt, which undoubtedly evokes nostalgic memories of yesteryears, among all the hunters. 

“Tales of the Orient” was the theme for the 28th Kiwanis Treasure Hunt 2011; yet several participants must have involuntarily conspired to add a few twists in the hunt tales. Just less than 24 hours after Barcelona team had conjured magic to mesmerize MU players in the Champion League 2011 final, Kiwanis hunt weaved the magic in its final night of champion prize presentation.

HIGH NOON AT ROYAL OAK

KUALA LUMPUR 21 MAY 2011: One seldom associates pubs with treasure hunts; yet Royal Oak Treasure Hunt 2011 perceptibly proved to be a refreshing anomaly. For the second year running, the participants embarked on a pub crawl; with the event starting around lunch time at Royal Oak pub in Jaya One, and culminated with dinner at its sister’s in Solaris Mont Kiara.

With Michael Pang as the wily COC, the hunt represented the sport played at its very rudimentary level. Purely cryptic questions and treasures; no booze-guzzling challenge, or dart-throwing contest needed for thematic linkage with the organizer’s business!

Probably this came closest to the hunt version of high noon showdown (literally) outside a Western bar!
