WHERE FUN AND HUNT MEET

The show must go on, even with part of the TG team MIA somewhere around the world

Firstly, the editorial team apologises for missing this year’s treasure hunt. We were out of the country on assignments and simply could not make it despite trying to fly back in time. It’s always good to get out there to meet and mingle with everyone, but it was not to be this year.

It was just like yesterday when a few of us went to check out a couple of locations in JB to house our annual Treasure Hunt. We were all in a convertible and the drive was an enjoyable one, despite the rain… when we were driving with the top down. Nevertheless, with some speed, we were able to deflect the rain over our heads, so speed is actually your friend… sometimes.

KFC RAPIDKL FUN HUNT 2011 - News

Rail fun for treasure hunters

IT WAS a Sunday filled with excitement and mind-boggling fun when over 40 teams had to find their way around Kuala Lumpur via monorail and LRT in The KFC RapidKL Fun Hunt 2011.

This fun-filled event was organised by the Edu-Fun Unit in partnership with RapidKL.

The fun-filled adventure began and ended at Wisma KFC in Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.

The event was jointly flagged off at 7.30am by KFC Events Sdn Bhd general manager Rosita Abu Bakar and KL Monorail chief operating officer Abdul Hadi Amran.

DOWN THE HUNT MEMORY LANE 2011

What a year it was at the world of treasure hunt in 2011!

As we sang "Auld Lang Syne" at the stroke of midnight to celebrate the New Year, it's interesting to reflect on the events of 2011!


For treasure hunters, it has been a year of mounting excitement and thrill, with a few valleys of disappointments!

HNN would like to bid farewell to 2011, with hunt images, news and reflections on this memorable year.

Here's a look at the great fun, disappointments and the promising future of treasure hunts!

HNN HUNT STATISTICS 2011

With the passing of 2011, it'll be interesting to compile some statistical data about treasure hunts during the year.

On record, 2011 has a total of 61 open hunts, organised by 29 COCs (Clerks of Course) or Technical Advisors.

COC Pava's Hunts and Time Out Solution had the highest number of open hunts in 2011 (6 each).

The most popular month for treasure hunts in 2011 seems to be July (10 hunts), followed closely by October (9 hunts), while the least popular month is August, as it was the fasting month. Had it not due to the last-minute cancellation of 4 hunts, December would have been a record month too!

You can find more interesting charts about the hunt events, COCs and the achievement of treasure hunters below.

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GEM

SEBERANG PERAI 18 DECEMBER 2011: A hunt year that began in great expectation, somehow ended in utter frustration!

With the return of the majestic Putrajaya Hunt, the insatiable Hunting for Meals on Wheels and the traditional heart-stopping CNY Hunt to kick off 2011, the hunters would have reasonably raised their optimism for more great events to come; and perhaps a noteworthy one to wrap up the fantastic year.

When GEMpur Harta Qarun 2011 was delayed to 18^th December with promises of fun and salivating prizes, participants surely looked forward to this final hunt as the last chance saloon. Perhaps the god of hunting had decided to ‘Save The Best For Last’!

A few KL teams predictably made the customary pilgrimage to the Pearl of Orient, presumably bedazzled by the sparkling prizes. Instead they found out that all that glitters may not be gem.

AN EYE FOR A MISSION



KLANG VALLEY 10 DECEMBER 2011: As the cinema light gradually dimmed, the catchy theme song of the movie began to play, much to the delight of the audience.

For those growing up during the 1980’s, this familiar tune provided an instant reminder of an awaiting assignment and possibly a thrilling adventure. Watching the premiere of Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol on the silver screen inevitably rekindled the sweet nostalgia of the original TV series. 

Yet somehow it also evoked the hunt memories of previous week, for the participants of Eye Q Treasure Hunt 2011 may arguably claim that they had miraculously survived a more impossible mission.

If Tom Cruise and his team thought that they had it tough in the Ghost Protocol, wait till they attempt the challenges in this Malaysian Mensa hunt. If they considered deactivating the satellite of the Indian mogul Brij Nath (played by the actor Anil Kapoor) as arduous, they should try ‘deactivating’ the lethal questions of the Indian COC Jay (played by err…. the incomparable Jayaram Menon himself).

There were three members to each team.

The two-hour hunt had participants cracking their heads over clues to their "treasures" in the shopping mall.

BANKING ON POETIC COC

Dua tiga COC boleh kuhadapi,

Mana nak sama COC Malik sorang!

GEORGETOWN 26 NOVEMBER 2011: It is one thing when banks give interest for deposits in the saving accounts, but it’s quite another when one promised substantial rewards for deposits of hunt entry fee.

One seldom savours the sight of financial institutions on the bandwagon of public hunts; hence full credit must be given to Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) when they explored such marketing avenue, via their BSN SSP Special Edition Treasure Hunt 2011!

With cash and SSP (Sijil Simpanan Premium) up for grab, it was hardly surprising when about 60 teams promptly registered for the event. Such was the joy and prospect of a potential windfall, several hunters who have hung up their hunt clipboards a few years ago, decided to do a ‘Paul Scholes’ U-turn, by coming out of their retirement for one last hurrah.

KUALA LUMPUR: The recent inaugural Pahlawan Challenge 2011 was not just another treasure hunt.

Participants, comprising seasoned hunters as well as beginners, went home not only with attractive prizes and goodies but also a wealth of information and knowledge about the armed forces and life as soldiers.

The motor hunt, which attracted some 50 cars, was organised by the Armed Forces Veterans Affairs Department (JHEV), in conjunction with Hari Pahlawan 2011 which falls on July 31.

TO LAUGH, OR NOT TO LAUGH: THAT'S THE QUESTION!

KUALA SELANGOR 23 OCTOBER 2011: For Shakespearean aficionados who took part in Soroptimist Treasure Hunt 2011, it must have been a rewarding experience for them!

They came to join an event, one hopefully capable of rendering lasting memories, of providing great value for money and of course, of offering entertainment! They found more than what they could have bargained for; just not in the way they could have envisaged!

Their entry fee not only entitled them to join the “Hunt with A Heart”; it was also a ticket to watch the farcical remake of one of the Bard’s well-known plays – The Comedy of Errors!

How else can they react to this hunt that saw the comical COC unintentionally bemused the participants with humorous anecdotes and reasons for his clownish performance?

EXORCISING THE GHOST OF HUNTING PAST

SUBANG 22 OCTOBER 2011: Forget Halloween – what COC Trailblazers did recently in The Summit Hantu Hunt 2011 was decidedly creepy too!

With loosely-bandaged mummy, fang-baring vampire, well-equipped Ghostbusters team and scythe-wielding Grim Reaper on the prowl, the stage was set for a ghoulish showdown among several brazen-hearted hunters.

Instead of the traditional ‘trick-or-treat’ guising, the mortal participants were delectably served with a ‘treat of tricks’; in the form of demonic questions and unearthly challenges.

SUNLIGHT TAXI HUNT 2011 FOR BEGINNERS - News

Learning to empathise with cabbies

Sunlight Taxi’s recent treasure hunt, “Having Fun With Sunlight”, was a roaring success, with over 300 taxi drivers and members of the public braving the rain in the Klang Valley to collect treasures for a good cause, and to vie for the top prize of RM2,000.

The winning team was ironically named “Don’t Know Much”.

In total, RM30,000 in cash and kind was given out as prizes to 49 teams.

The “Don’t Know Much” team, comprising long-time friends Mohd Md Taib, Ahmad Zarmilan Mohamad and Ahmad Iznie, joked that while they might not know much about anything else, they were aware that teamwork pays off.
