(PADMAVYOOHA) TREASURE HUNT

The treasure hunt team consisted of four members: Raqeeb Mohamed

Vishnu P

Sreerag M

Rahul R

A total of 57 teams had participated for this event.

The first round for the event was Prelims. In this round the 4 member team was
divided into two. One group was provided with Question and answers as a task
and the other group were given visuals to identify such as logos and
personalities.

After the prelims, we were one of the team of the 24 teams that were qualified
for the next round.

The second round consisted of collection and selfie round. A total list of 20
items were given as a part of collection and 5 selfies were asked to be clicked
from in and around the university premises within a time limit of 30 minutes.

We were one of the 12 teams that were qualified for the third round.

The third round for the event was Multi task round. In this round each member
of the group were given different tasks to complete within 30 minutes. Sreerag
completed the mirrored words task. Rahul completed the scrabbled words task.
Vishnu completed the riddles and answers task and Raqeeb completed the
puzzles and personalities task.

We thus qualified for the semi-finals with 6 other teams.

The semi final was spot round. A total of 6 clues are present in this round
where one clue leads to the other. The spot given was the University Park. To
obtain the first clue a task had to be completed. The first clue was another task
to be completed by all members which lead to the second clue. The second clue
was a place inside the park which we had to find to obtain the third clue. The
third clue was again another task to be completed by any one of the members.
The 4th clue was the name of a tree. This clue consumed time as the same trees
were present at more than one place inside the park. By the time we reached at
the final clue the other teams had completed the event.

Hence we were eliminated at the semi-final round.
