Trailblazsers after a few attempts at open hunts, has decided to be a niche CoC by  doing only novice hunts.  Judging from their recent hunts, they seem to have a good following.

Last Saturday, a total of 44 teams,  166 hunters took part in the Buka Puasa Hunt.

It has been raining every evening in downtown KL for the past weeks.  Last Friday I did a walk hunt and it was no exception and I was prepared for it.  Even a back-up plan for an indoor hunt. But the cool thing was, these guys, all hunting for the first time were very determined to go out there  no matter what.

They had all gathered in KL from different parts of the country for their company’s mid-term performance review.  Most of these guys are top performers in the company, including their top brass.  And it’s easy to understand why these guys are among the best in their company, seeing how once they set their mind to do something, pretty much nothing can stop them.

This was a thematic hunt involving their products and services, which means the scope for setting the questions were very limited.  On top of that, it was a short 3km walk which further reduces the choice of  signboards I had to work with. In that sense this was a tough hunt to set, so I was glad that it didn’t go to waste and the guys had the opportunity to go at it.

The client called on Monday saying the feedback was good  and majority of them had a wonderful experience.

The only thing from all this was, I caught a cold from all that walking in the rain and was sneezing through out the busy and eventful weekend.

Hunt from PJ to Kuantan.  50 teams – all were ranked and given prizes.
