Detour Challenge: Hyderabadis, take part in this ultimate scavenger hunt this June

Hyderabad: Adventurers in Hyderabad, take note! Prepare yourself for “Detour,” the ultimate Sunday activity being held on 11 June.

The Detour Challenge is a one-of-a-kind event in India, offering a unique blend of adventure, team camaraderie, and exploration in a city-wide scavenger hunt format. This first-ever mind-blowing scavenger hunt will take place in Hyderabad, inspiring your sense of adventure and providing a brand-new activity to engage with friends and family.

About the quest

“We are planning the first citywide scavenger hunt in Hyderabad. Teams will face seven different obstacles in seven different parts of the city,” said Smriti Goyal, co-founder of Detour.

The challenges will be in various genres, including mental, physical, skill-based, food-related, etc.

“For instance, you have to translate a Chinese sushi recipe before you can prepare it. Each task takes 15 to 20 minutes. A point will be gained for every second that is saved when completing these challenges,” Goyal explained.

The Detour championship will go to the team with the most points at the end of the quest.
