We didn’t approach the likes of Ethan Hunt for it, but we did orchestrate a hunt of our own, and over 100 people chose to accept our mission. Why, you ask? Simple; adidas’s latest offering, the AlphaBounce, was up for grabs along with a chance to test your knowledge about Delhi. The mission; 12 clues, 10 starting points, 12 iconic spots in CP, 12 teams, one winning team, and dinner and drinks for 150 people at the last clue point.
The hunt began from 10 different adidas stores across the city and took all the participants on a ride they would remember. The games included fitness tasks, cracking clues, teamwork and a lot of high adrenaline moments.
