Treasure hunt @ Capgemini

When our very first plan of using the service elevator itself backfired, we thought its just gonna be a repeat of the last week where we sort of dug our own graves with some judgmental errors. But luckily for us the whole event was called off that day due to some technical difficulties as they call it.. Hehe…

Note: hereafter building 1B will be referred to as SUN and building 4B as MOON.

Clue 1: Go to the fun floor on SUN and find your next clue with a man who has 10 calendars on his desk.

Clue 2: Go to the person who arranges your travel and accommodation in MOON.

Clue 3: A person who manages recruitment, and whose name rhymes with pony. The first letter of his name is the 19^th alphabet. In MOON.

Clue 4: The person who manages fun and games in the MOON.

Clue 5: A puzzle
None of us remember the exact question, but if I am not wrong the answer was 3100 which we cracked pretty easily.

Clue 6: A puzzle
The third number is double the 1^st number and the fourth number is double the second number. The difference between first and second, and third and fourth is 1.
Find the cubicle number. 4^th floor MOON.
Hehe… best part about this clue was that the clue itself was printed wrong. Wasted lot of time here.

Clue 7: Go to the first lady sitting in SUN

Clue 8: The only guy sitting with a cap on the trust floor in SUN.

Clue 9: The only women member of sociozone from SUN and also a member of the women’s council. 7^th floor SUN.

Clue 10: The treasure is buried under the Eiffel tower.

Next minute it struck to Wilson that there’s a painting of Eiffel tower in our cafeteria. So we made a mad rush from the 7^th floor of one bldg to the 6^th floor of the other. When we reached there, it was all quite. Very few people. Found a guy from HR dept standing in front of the painting. After validating all our clues, he asked us to wait. Slowly many other teams arrived with their final clue to the same spot. We were still not sure if any team had finished before us. So just kept a low profile.

When they finally announced it, there was wild celebrations and high fives exchanged. We went forward to collect our so called treasure. Thought it might be a some tiny gift, but we could not believe our ears when Manu announced “the winners get five thousand worth gift vouchers from forum”.

Oh ho, all the running around for the last 45 mins didn’t go waste after all. We were so thrilled. And the audience could not believe the treasure was really worth 5K. We could smell so many asses burning now. Hehe… the reaction of one of my colleagues summed it all up when she said, “If our boys would have been there, we would have won easily”. Those words are still ringing in my ears. Lol. But who cares, we have the money in our hand and that’s what matters. Was a treasure worth hunting for.

Congratulations to all my teammates who ran with me from one building to the other. After all it was a test of fitness more than the mind. Another feather in Sir Rodney's cap and more publicity for the brand name "Sap United". Well done guys
