Zurich Pub Treasure-Hunt: great fun event
Yo folks,

Just wanted to say how fun it was hunting last friday. Thanks Pat for an event such well organized. We had complete fun and loved running from one pub to the other. Alas, our team didnt win..... :crying:

Reported around 6:30 to the initial point, formed a team of myself, Ehsaan (a map himself in that area ;)), and three wonderful ladies... Sanne, Marina and Sietske... from there went to Hooters to solve the first set of quiz. And man, the chicken strips I had was not the best, but the search that went on for the next 40 mins was pretty exhaustive. However, we had our confidence high when we left with all the answers. Since then, it was a number of theme bars that we visited and I gradually lost count.:P

At the end of the fun ride, it was time to meet at the Piranha bar where waiting for the result to come out, all of us let our hair down and enjoyed the music. The result eventually came out two hrs later, but by then probably none was bothered about it.... it was beer, music and dance all the way. But how can I forget that we didnt win.... we had put in a lot of hard work behind getting those crooked questions straight, but I guess all the others did that too.

Around 2 am and a few drinks later, the crowd started thinning and it was time to leave for our den. All in all, a great Friday night.
And Marit, dont forget to post the pics, I know you have a lot of them :)

Cheers
Avishek.

So maybe now, when the pictures are for everyone to see, people will say something about The Hunt? ;)

Marit: what great pics!

PatB: big thanks for pulling this together. Seems like a great event, that's surely not easy to organise. You put the time and effort into this, and touched a lot of lives. Danke!

Thanks Marit, great photos. Thanks also for helping everybody at the start.



That noisy event in the Piranha was not planned. We had booked the space and it would have been nice if the owner had let us know. Still, it added to the atmosphere.



We'd like feedback on the event, like what worked well, what could we improve. Did you like the pubs? The questions? The challenges? Too hard/too easy? I think next time I'll make it simpler at the finish.

Yes, i agree about the simpler finish. By that time almost everybody has had some alcoholic drinks and maybe its best if there is just announcing the winners in the end :)

But wouldn't it be better if there would be at least one (two is better) judges in every(must visit ) pub, to give maybe some hints or just help out with some problems or Q-s about the game? But since all teams dont have to visit even the must visit pubs, then the judges are available for only until 22.00.

I have also thought about having organisers in pubs. If we have enough people that would be good. So far we never had enough people. It would make the finish a lot quicker. If organisers text the results as they come in we can have a leader board, as in golf.
