In this game, the participating student players were asked to search for the final hidden clue by following different trail of clues. Teachers tried their best to hide the clues in all the hook and nook of the school corner. But the students accepted the challenge to the best of their faculties and streamed all their thoughts in the right channel and reached their destination successfully.
Thus, the competition ended with great joy for the students and immense satisfaction for the teachers.
