Hang Seng – CA Eco-Rangers 2018
Event Details
While Hong Kong people are working day and night for better living, the notorious “Environmental Monsters” have already begun nibbling away at the local environment! Will you turn a blind eye, or stand up against the dark side?
2018 is a particularly hot and dry year, making the Big Boss “Flame Thrower” stronger than ever. It vows to burn Hong Kong’s countryside, from tall mountains to wetlands, to ashes. Therefore, we need YOU to join us and become one of our Eco-rangers – hunt down “Flame Thrower” and other monsters to extinguish the fires!
Defend our environment NOW!
How to Play
Wherever “Flame Thrower” goes, the land would be engulfed in fire. Eco-rangers (participants) must use the compass and map provided by the headquarters to track it down and look for ways to defeat it within a 2-hour limit, in order to save the environment.
Scoring Method:
Hunter category
“Flame thrower” and its gang are hiding in Tai Tong right now! Hunters must collect seals (special check points) scattered in the designated area and make use of them to hunt down the monsters. Claim the throne by defeating the most monsters!
Other categories
Points will be awarded according to the number of “Flame Thrower” check points visited as an orienteering competition.
The team which earns the highest score within the given time limit wins. Teams that exceed the given time limit will have their score deducted accordingly. Should there be a tie with more than one team having the same score, the team with the shorter time wins.
Important Dates
A confirmation email will be sent upon receiving the official enrolment.
