Around the world

We will have a storyline for the game. The idea similar to that of “National Treasure”. At which the various groups are needed to travel round the globe to search for treasures at the different landmarks. They would also have passports, which is needed access to the various countries. We would make use of bad weather conditions (an effort to incorporate the topic, weather) as obstacles that would slow their progress. Most importantly, they have to overcome challenges in order to get the treasures. The treasures would be in the form of mini puzzle bits as which at the end of the game they have to piece each and every one of them together. The winning team have to complete the ultimate puzzle.

Esplanade and the merlion - Singapore
The great wall of China - China
The eiffel tower - France
