Hong Kong's Lamma Island Treasure Hunt boosts Operation Santa Claus charity
Giant quiz about Shrek movies, solicitors' carol concert and Pok Fu Lam sale support fund
The city's year-end fundraiser has inspired many charitable minds to turn the campaign into a new edition of "Hong Kong's Got Talent".
Take the Lamma Island Treasure Hunt as an example. Masterminded by The Island Bar, the cross-island quest on December7 spurred the local community and their associates, including dogs, to look for hidden prizes through a set of funny clues.
"The clues take them to parts of Lamma that even locals may never have explored, and require an agile mind and a sense of humour," the organisers said of the treasure hunt's 16th year with Operation Santa Claus.
With that, Lamma residents set off their own series of charity activities designed to help Operation Santa Claus, the fundraising campaign organised by the and RTHK.
Activities that challenged the mind included the Christmas Music Quiz and a 2014 In Review Quiz. Thanks to the geniuses who came up with tough - if not unanswerable - questions, donation boxes were filled to the brim.
