Core Value Week

My company had launched new core values, and there was a PRUamasing race to go togeder with the launching. In this race, it will incorporate the 4 core values. The race was about solving clues along the way starting from Menara Prudential and back in one round. There was treasure hunt along the way by solving clues as well.

It was a fun event. I never realised that treasure hunt is indeed a good event and you can gain great satisfaction when you are able to solve it. My ex-boss is a good hunter and he always join external hunt organized by the public. Everytime, he at least come back with some prizes. He did ask me to join these kind of events, and he said that i have to pay for the lessons. Soon i can become a professional hunter like him.

Last Saturday, i had the opportunity to expose myself to treasure hunt. I never know that there are some skills needed. You need to train your mind and you know how to twist the clues. You need to have a good knowledge in everything as well. English is very important too.

There are basically 6 hints for us to break the clues. We shall look into it:

Anagram clue - a word or words with letters mized up to make another word/s
Clues: may be, perhaps, mixed up, could be, around, from, different, not, make,mad etc

Eg from my race: Da Vinci Rag Creation - Cigar Divan

Definition clue - Other words that are of a similar meaning.

Eg from my race: They serve us desert here - (dun get misleaded by dessert. it is desert) the answer is Restaurant Sahara Tent

Sounds like clue - the word is not spelt the same but sounds the same
Clues: it is said, mentioned, i hear, aloud, noisy, etc

Eg from my race: sounds like two you roll to take a chance or maybe heavenly i hear - Paradize (pair of dice to roll and to take a chance)

Initials clue - the first letters from a word's
Clues: initially, at the beginning, head, capitals, at the start, first of, etc

Eg from my race: Between Edward and Eric's head is hardwork - etoile

look back clue - words that reveal other words when read backwards
Clues: recall, return, back, from right to left, east to west, etc

Eg from my race: Nil.. hehe

hidden clue - a word found within another word or a sentence
Clues: in, within, part of, some, etc

Eg from my race: Male cat holds a six inside - PaVIlion (until now i really cant get how PA - Lion = male cat)

Another way of solving the clue is in different language. It could be in Bahasa Malaysia hinted by some clue words like local.

Eg from my race: A malay lady said wanna eat eastern food - MunaKata Japanese restaurant

Learned alot in this event and i really hope that i can participate more in this kind of activities. I must get more prizes and prizes from this. =)
Besides this, actually i know more places around the KL vicinity area as i have to look those sign board one by one and in every detail.haha.

We had KFC (voucher given) after the amasing race. As all of you might know, nearest KFC to my company is their headquarter which is located in the middle of the city. Hency on weekends, their supply is not that sufficient for the bunch of people from Prudential. Hence, ends up--->

We need to wait for a long time. Since we sat at the corner, we have to show it this way. zzZzZzzz


The aftermath after us..
