Treasure Maze – 30 points

Our standard shades separately are the first part

Of each of the treasures that are to be bought

After each of them is another word only and together

They must be prominently featured, as it were

Identifying the products, available on the way,

Not expensive at all, bring any three to Jay!

If only two you can get, then paint-mix the other two,

For the third one – with the rest of the criteria too!


I-Spy – 5 points

I-SPY something beginning with the letter D

Location clue: It is situated near an overhead bridge

Features clue: Historically it was the largest among the others present

Cryptic clue: Short of a degree, qualification you get in medical staff


Note: There's another section called the Puzzler (worth 10 points). First, let me figure out how to copy and paste the matrix here. D'uh...


All the other teams are either master-hunters or soon to be master-hunters or should have been a master hunter, and there was our team - blank, blur faces and all. It was a tough hunt in our team's humble opinion, but at least we finished at a respectable 10th place. :)

See you next hunt!
