  9. WHAT IS TREASURE HUNT • The Treasure Hunt is a non-profit, annual social event of Lodge Keys No. 297 • An entertaining Sunday Family Day out, with your wife and kids navigating/ solving the clues, driving around the town for 2/3 hours. • The event starts with breakfast and concludes with Fellows(h)ip / Lunch / Party and Award ceremony.

  10. ABOUT TREASURE HUNT • A treasure hunt is one of many different types of games to find hidden articles, locations or places by using a series of clues. This is a fictional activity. Lodge Keys Treasure Hunt is a fun activity designed around this concept to spend quality family time and test/teach your children about the location of various places in your city and the historical importance of these places • It is NOT A GAME OF SPEED or A RALLY. The game tests the participants' speed of solving clues, knowledge and locations of the important landmarks of your city, the intelligence and comprehensive skills of the participants. It consists of various teams which compete against each other in search of a treasure. • They have to solve the clue correctly, reach the location from whereon they get the clue to the next location/the next level which consequently leads them to the final clue in the end. It's just not the interpretation which is important but what makes you a winner is solving clues.

  11. WHAT HAPPENS DURING A HUNT? • Teams meet at 7:30 AM @ St. John’s Freemasons Hall, Opp. YWCA, Secunderabad. • After registrations and a brief, the clues are distributed in a sealed envelope. • Flag-off starts from 8.30 A.M. and onwards. • Upon solving one clue a team proceeds to the next clue. Teams must get an endorsement from our volunteers/Marshals at the clue site to prove they were there. • At the next location there will be another clue to solve. • Teams reach the closing venue after solving all the clues for the final ceremony. • It will conclude at GoshamahalBaradari Masonic Building, Goshamahal. • Team with best time and which solves maximum number of clues correctly wins.
