It was a very last minute decision to join this walk hunt today. Luckily they had walk-in registration before the start of the hunt.

A few weeks back,  I hid the Astro card because the boys were watching too much TV and I did a little treasure hunt for them to look for the card. Ever since then, they have been asking me to do another one for them but I never did. I’ve always wanted to bring the boys to a hunt, and since this was an in-door and a short hunt, it was  ideal to  get them started.  I went today with no expectations at all to win anything.  So coming in at 7th is really a bonus.

I had a great time at the annual CNY hunt.

The CNY hunt is nothing like all the other hunts. You don’t hunt with your usual team members, instead everyone draws a card on the morning of the hunt itself to decide the teams.  It’s exciting that once in a year, we get thrown out of the comfort of our  usual team mates,  learn from better hunters and get to know other hunters better.  This hunt used to be by invitation only but in recent years it has become a sort of an open invitation to all.  With a bigger crowd and newer hunters,  some may not be too comfortable with the draw card system and wants  to hunt with their own team.  This option is actually pretty cool because we get more teams taking part this way.

The main guy driving this CNY hunt tradition is of course  Uncle Chong Foo Seong. I think this year is the 15th (or 16th?) edition of the CNY hunt.

While the CoC took care of the questions and routes, Kok Seng quietly manages the details for the draw card.  Late Saturday night he was on the phone with me and Jayaram discussing the various categories of hunters, who should go into which group and how he’s going to do the draw the next morning.  Great job Kok Seng!

The announcement of teams.

Lots of thoughts went into how best to have teams that are balance in strength.

Uncle Chong with all his experiences is certainly one of those better CoC around.  His choice of words can be so good that often it lead hunters astray. His hunts are tough but enjoyable.

One thing that should be given some thought for  future CNY hunt is that the  start and end should ideally be at the same venue.

All in all it was another great and enjoyable CNY hunt.  Looking forward to the next installment. Thank you to Uncle Chong for putting his heart and soul into doing this signature hunt of his.

Lets revisit the objective of this hunt  ” to encourage & develop novice hunters”

Now take a look at the results and the Q&A powerpoint and tell me if  this experiment has achieved the desired outcome?

This is one “damn” tough hunt, we almost “pitam”. More later after I recover from the mental fatigue.

Special thanks to The Meeples; Tan Aik Chung, Loo Wern Ching, Lim Ming Yang for a giving me a space in their team.

____________________________________________________________________

Despite the CoC’s missteps in pitching a just right level of difficulty for the targeted hunters,  overall it was a good hunt.  Error free tulips, adequate time, huntable routes and  no long wait for the answers presentation.  They even gave out CD of the answer presentation after the hunt. The CD is indeed a nice touch especially to the new hunters who might wants to go thru it at their own pace.

If  anything,  I think using only part of a shop/company name is not very correct nor elegant.  For e.g  the answer  “De” taken from “De Zai Hair …..” or ‘Busana” from “Busana J&Z”.

CoCs should not try too hard to make it hard for the regulars.  Set tough questions if you must, but keep it simple, creative and smart.  COC should try to out-smart the hunters, not whack us on the head with a sledgehammer. Outwitted hunters will  willingly kick our own backs and want more. Injured hunters stay at home to recuperate for a long time.

Also for bigger crowd in their future hunts, the venue today is really not suitable.

Both Kroll and Hagi have shown great positive attitude towards feedback/suggestions from fellow hunters in the weeks leading to this hunt. They are willing to listen.

So I’m sure with this experinces under their belts,  their next and future hunts can only be better than their courageous effort today.

Congratulations to the Winners.
