This was my fourth consecutive year joining the annual treasure hunt organized by DBKK. There were 120 teams competing this year for the ultimate Kota Kinabalu hunt.

After a tiring Labuan Open last week, this is the day that I have been waiting! Yes, its one of my New Years resolution to participate in the DBKK treasure hunt. Hooray!

KK Mayor flagged of the participant.

 

We started the hunt at 7.50 am and finished at 2.11 pm. We clocked 6 hours and 21 minutes this time around. The time limit was 6 and half hours, a reduction of 30 minutes from last year.


While waiting for the Q&A session and price giving ceremony, we were entertained by the hilarious MC and Stacy Af6. Huiyoo Stacy pun ada ikut oo

Every team seems to be winning something in the lucky draw. We were so unlucky not to get any of those prizes. I almost thought we would leave empty handed, and almost left the hall when the MC called out our name.

 

18th place!

 

No complain for that. We did our best but a blunder on the timing cost us 5 valuable points at Terminal 2. Not to mention the Cap Badak treasure, and the other silly mistakes. All in all, it was a great hunt for our team.

Team 1, Hunters "R" Us from KL bagged home the 1st prize worth RM5,000.00 plus goods. Behind them was Team 2, led by CK KOH with 8 points different. 

Makes me wonder where did they drop points. Mind you that the full points are 140!

I think the top teams answered all the questions and treasure correctly. Which sets them apart from the other teams. Whereas challenge was, at least, a 50-50 thing. Take example the ‘every little drop counts’ challenge. Most team got an average of 4-6 points out of 10.

Now I’m looking forward for the next treasure hunt!








p/s - many thanks to feizal for the walkie talkie and team chase angels for the encouragement
