Hie everyone😉

I'm here to say few things regarding Treasure Hunt.

Some people think that Treasure hunt is not played fairly and I agree to it to some extent but I'm here to judge anyone. Just think the other way round. Alpha plus is India's one of the biggest inter school competitions, right? And in any competition team spirit and presence of mind plays a very important role.

There are two teams from Mumbai and the other from Delhi. I know as a non resident, its very difficult to find the places. I'm a Mumbaikar but I still don't know many places in South Mumbai and Eastern Suburb. And it's but obvious that Ayesha's team don't know anything. Even Team Buddies didn't know about those places and it's obvious. How will a teenager know the old names of those places when these names are changed for more than 20 years ago. At that time we were not even born. Only people who have interest in history know about all these things . I just want to say that our buddies were equally unaware of those places as Ayesha's school.

KD used his brains that as those were the names of particular location, only a postman will know about it. In any game presence of mind is very necessary.

Even the other members from Buddies Team didn't know about it. They were busy quarreling with each other. And when they found KD with money they misunderstood him. A game is only won when there is trust.

But Ayesha's team doesn't want to work hard and find their clues. They only want to get everything by some or the other shortcuts which is not right.

This is what I think and Treasure Hunt is not being unfair to anybody. I like the concept. A competition should be challenging, otherwise there's no fun in it. And God has given equal brains to everyone. It's just that how we use it and TBP is focussing on. Else how can Alpha Plus be considered as the finest competitions.

Guys think over it.

Have a nice day.

LOTS OF LOVE,
DHWANI😊

I agree.

I said the same thing on the other post too. That it doesn't matter where you're from because it was shown that Buddies didn't know everything either. That's how the competition was MADE. No team is supposed to know everything. They're supposed to use their heads and find the clues. Which is what KD did.

Totally agree with u D :). Even i dun know many places in south mumbai and western suburbs as i live in eastern suburbs. I only know the very famous places like regal, marine lines ,fort, cst, colaba etc even though i used to go 2 a south mumbai college for 2 years. And bus routes and all toh i am clueless. So i dun think the treasure hunt is all that bias towards the mumbai schools.
