All of us took part, Casper, Herman, Luke and Myself (Chelsea) were Team B(AKA: The Muscle) and Tanja, Yolandi, Cindy, Hamilton and Richard were team A (AKA: The Brains). The judges were our bosses... Tiaan and Natascha, the general managers.
First things first we had to get all of our work finished in the morning to take part, then to head home, get changed and finally to meet at the starting point... Safari Lodge lawns.
When we arrived we split into our teams and were given the rules by Tiaan, you know them...
No cheating
No fooling around
And the main one...
THE LOSERS GET THROWN INTO THE POOL!!!!
Well that’s all we needed to know, no way did any of us want to get thrown in. Game faces were on and Casper and Herman shouted their chant
"WHOOHAH!".
Herman, Yolandi and Casper
The games began with the ever so popular Egg Race, which of course team B won, then to follow was the crippling 3 Legged Race. However the man power on Team B was so strong we won that too, and the following game of Tug-of-war. Neither the less the Balloon Toss was a bit too much for the Team B's manliness and the dainty girls of Team A won!
With the games over and done with, it was time for the riddle-manic scavenger hunt. Now this I tell you was the trickiest part of it all, Team B had the muscle but unfortunately for us, Team A definitely had all the brains! (Hence the teams' alias')
The first four riddles had everything to do with numbers, then the answer would lead to the room which had the next riddle in. "how may seconds is there in a year?" Whaaaaaaaaaat! Remember we had no calculators!
The answer was in fact 12, not seconds like time, but seconds as like dates (2nd January). So we all ran towards Safari room 12 and found our next riddle...
This is what let Team B down and Team A to win by around 15 minutes!! so that was it.. we were thrown into the pool with all of our clothes on!!
The day was brilliant and fun! The swim was the best way to cool off and I couldn't think of a better way to help us all build into a greater team!
Thanks Tiaan and Natascha!
