Amazing Adventures proudly presents Amazing Colombo Romp 2015 for the 3rd time in Sri Lanka. Part treasure-hunt, part Amazing Race, part puzzle, the Amazing Colombo Romp is an adventurous fun-filled event for all participants to rediscover Colombo. Speaking to the Daily Mirror Life, its initiator Graham Brownlie shared his views on this year’s event, the new challenges introduced and the amazing prices that await the winners. Following are the excerpts:
What is the Amazing Colombo Romp?
This is an event where locals are given an opportunity to rediscover Colombo. Amazing Adventures have introduced Sri Lanka’s first themed tours and we are mainly focusing Colombo and Galle. What we want is for people to see sights in a way that will be fun. So if somebody wants ton discover the Galle Fort we give them a map and then they will go on tuk-tuk challenges and get to their destined location. They can see the country in a fun-filled way and enjoy its cuisine, take a look at its history while chilling with friends and families at the same time.
Who will be participating in Sunday’s event?
A majority will be locals. Mainly those living in Colombo but in addition to that there will be a few expats and foreigners.
How did you get involved in this project?
I have always wanted to do things like team building and travelling when I came up with this idea. So I have been doing this for nearly 7 years. What we want is for its participants to have fun and this is the public event that we are doing.
How can a team get registered?
Basically groups of 2, 3 or 4 people have to come on that day and buy tickets. For a team of 4 a ticket would cost Rs. 7,500 and for a number of people we have given discounts as well. So once they get registered, the team members will be briefed on the plan and afterwards the event is all theirs.
The Amazing Challenges
Few of the new challenges include:
- A food challenge where participants will have to eat 3 hot-dogs in 3 minutes.
- A challenge where ladies have to take their boyfriends or husbands to the salon. So here they will teach the guys how to do the waxing.
- There will also be what is called a ‘B******t (BS) challenge’ where they have to go the Speakers’ corner in Galle Face Green, gather a crowd and convey a message in a few minutes. So here you have a challenge in gathering a crowd.
The Exciting Prizes
- The first 50 teams to register will get T-shirts.
- Meals will be provided from Sandwich Factory and Calorie Canteen.
- The winning team will get medals, along with Land Rover experiences such as car rallies.
