It might have been a combination of problems – either the RidgeCats did something wrong or there were unexpected technical problems with the servers.

Clues and locations, CHECKED.
Rezzing inspection, CHECKED.
Getting students to join the treasure hunt,CHECKED.
RidgeCats’ attendance,CHECKED(one of the RidgeCat Guru was sick so we were actually 1 person short).
Third-party purchases by participants, NOT CHECKED.
Possible coordination problems due to the large area and massive flying/teleportation, NOT CHECKED.

As a result of our inadequate checkings, the treasure hunt clues couldn’t be purchase immediately by the participants. However, we managed to end on time at 11.30 p.m and explained the situation to our participants at the Shout Out Corner. A special mention must be made: Mathilde Marjeta’s group managed to get every single clue and they were the supposed winners - but due to the technical problems, we had to be fair to everyone who really tried very hard and decided to award everyone equally with our exclusive RidgeCat T-shirt. We hope that this solution will appease the participants, especially those who felt disappointment at not winning the top prizes.

Despite all the problems, everyone who participated was very understanding and enjoyed the entire game. Some of them even felt bad for Mathilde Marjeta’s group – what a great display of sportsmanship! All participants were automatically granted one level above basic membership to 'Regulars'. They were also given priority placements for the next game – which of course includes fantastic real-life prizes!

We must make a heartfelt thank you to all the participants because you guys made the hunt a relative success. To those who expressed their desire to join the hunt even after it started at 10.30 p.m, we hope to see you during the next game! To those who are not affiliated with NUS but still showed your support, thank you for your encouragements! We are truly sorry you guys couldn’t join in the fun (it was reserved solely for NUS’s staff and students), but we really appreciate your presence. The RidgeCat Gurus will learn from this experience and provide a better game play the next time round.

We sincerely apologise for the problems but we give you our assurance and PROMISE that such a nightmare will not happen again in the future.

Please continue to give us your support and come down for our future events. You can check for upcoming events in the Calendar section.
