Half day challenge – the FVH Pottery Streets ‘Treasure Hunt’

as of 1 Dec – 2 x team places available  of 3-4 people.  If you would like to register a team please do so before end of Thursday 3 December 

Introduction
A mixture of last’s year’s format with some finding items to buy combined with a simplified Amazing Race idea/solving clues/carrying out tasks etc. in order to complete various challenges against the clock. The tasks may be solving a riddle, carrying out a task, answering a statement….

Venue and why
This time the location is just out of Hanoi in Bat Trang. The Pottery Streets Treasure Hunt is an exploration of the village with a difference.

Its easy to get to the village by bus, grab/taxis/motorbike taking about 35-45 mins traffic depending

1. To introduce Bat Trang in a different way
2. To get people to really take notice of the village
3. To be the start of a series of events we want to arrange in Bat Trang next year with the locals

The management board have approved our plans and given their blessing; some of the board’s members will attend the prize giving

Date and time
Sunday 6 December 2020

start 9am end 12noon followed by 1 hour closing ceremony with awards and free raffle.
Arrive by 8.50am at the meeting point (Goofoo) ready to start with a briefing at 9am. Half day (morning)1pm. Feel free to stay on in the village if you want to grab a late 1pm lunch and any shopping.

The idea
Compete in teams.  Complete a mixture of challenges within a set time limit.  Make your way round Bat Trang village by either finding and buying products (each team will be given a float). The first part is solving riddles and clues, carrying out tasks,  within the village.

For the 2nd section which is purchasing, the aim is to find all the items and spend as little as possible – these will be the treasure in our free raffle.

Teams must arrive at the final meeting point to report to the event judges and for prize giving by the deadline time.

Prizes awarded to teams include:

• the quickest
• with the highest score
• who spent the least money

etc and other categories

Compete as a family or group of friends, those who register as individuals will be allocated into teams.  Team size = 4 max adults and over 13yrs and over (under 12s in a team not be counted in the team maximum number)

Estimated end time 12noon for end of the challenge, 12noon-1pm for the closing event. FVH will pay for drinks, other drinks or food to be paid for by individuals as we want to ensure the majority of funds go to Blue Dragon.  Prize giving attended by some of the Bat Trang management board.
