For those who took part in the treasure hunt, decoding maximum number of clues turned out to be an exhilarating experience.
At the treasure hunt organised jointly by The Hindu and MVGR College of Engineering (Autonmous), Vizianagaram on the campus on Wednesday, girl students were divided into a 10-member team to rack their brains and find out the hidden spots mentioned on a piece of paper.
The students were given 10 clues, each waiting in different locations. The one who could chase all the clues and submitted the answer sheet first scored the highest number of points. “Though we could not score all the points, being part of the game proved to be exciting. Some of the clues given were quite difficult to crack but we felt happy that we could trace a few locations effortlessly. Most of the spots are frequented by us daily but it took a while to understand the set of clues,” said Ch. Dhana Lakshmi, B.Tech student.
