Citizens of networks the world over will tell you that Information and Communication Technologies have provided limitless possibilities; today, we face a host of previously un-encountered potentialities, not least online marketing, e-commerce and social networking.
It is in the latter aspect that Tri-Bloc Ventures Co. is proud to present you another world’s first: Social Treasure Hunt Kenya 2010, an event slated for December 18th-19th, 2010.
Are you a mystery buff? Did you play Age of Empires and love the experience? Do you use the Facebook Pirate language just to experience a tinge of the treasure thrills as you ‘divvy up the booty to your mateys’? If your answer is yes to any of the above questions, then challenge yourself to participate in the Social Treasure Hunt. This quest will be partaken by teams, drawn from members of the public, on a mission to discover the still hidden wealth in our communities using social media and technology. The enduring purpose of the event will be to enhance the elusive potential of social media and help organizations become social and build sustainable connections.
One does find that the quest to communicate critical and important business ideas clearly can hardly be overemphasized, and neither can the use of Social Networks in business today. Social Treasure Hunt uses Relics, iconic symbols that create topics around unique things Kenyan and at the same time presents some aspects of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, while exploring the capabilities of these scalable technologies. This novel and interactive event is open to anyone and everyone above the age of 18, making no prejudice whatsoever of any participant’s identity. It will take place in the outskirts of Nairobi, with the details being withheld until the event begins – it is, after all, a race for treasure.
Clues as to how to get to the event site will be exclusively sent through Social Media, notably Facebook and Twitter. It is therefore imperative that participants join the Facebook and Twitter pages.
“Are you a mystery buff? Did you play Age of Empires and love the experience? Do you use the Facebook Pirate language just to experience a tinge of the treasure thrill as you ‘divvy up the booty to your mateys’?”
Come Saturday 18th December, a remote destination 210km (one-way) from Nairobi will be transformed into a hub of broadcast social conversations, with an evening party lasting till the early hours of Sunday; the hunt will then conclude on 19th, with a photo hunt in the morning. A game drive is also scheduled for the same morning.
If it sounds mysterious already, it is. You can’t afford to miss it.
Through this daily blog, details will also be released to allow potential participants' understanding and appreciation of this ingenious concept, and improve their chances of performing to their ultimate on Saturday.
