Dear Labyrinth hunters,

Congratulations for making it to the last and final round of “Treasure hunting”. We promise to make the final round even more exciting and adventurous. Please note the rules of this rapid fire round:

1. This round will run for two hours from 9:00pm to 11:00pm.
2. This stage will comprise of five “rapid-fire” hunts and a “Treasure Trove”.
3. The hunts will start one after the other at an interval of 15 minutes. The first hunt starts at 9:00pm, second one at 9:15pm and so on. The last hunt will start at 10:15pm.
3. Clue for “Treasure Trove” will be released along with the first “rapid-fire” hunt i.e. at 9:00pm
4. The first five “rapid-fire” hunts will have a common theme, which will help answer the last called the “Treasure Trove”.
5. Each correct answer to the “rapid-fire” hunts will earn 50 points
6. The “Treasure Trove” hunt will be worth 50 points; an additional bonus equal to minutes remaining till 11pm will be awarded for solving the treasure trove. Therefore the sooner you crack the “Treasure Trove” the more points you will gain.
7. The maximum points any team can score is 480 (10 points for each of the 6 trivia preceding the hunts, 50 points each for the six hunts and a maximum of 120 bonus points for the “Treasure Trove”)
8. The game ends at 11pm and all hunts will close down at this time. You can resubmit your answers for any clue till 11:00 PM, however the final timestamp of submission will be taken to evaluate the time taken for submission.
9. The team with maximum overall points in this round for all hunts wins the game. In case of a tie, the overall time taken for stage 3 starting 9pm will be used as tie-breaker.
10. Some clues might have flash content. Please ensure your system supports flash software. You can try running few applications to ensure that flash enabled web pages are able to run on your computer. Please do not refresh flash pages again, as this will reset your page and you have to start from scratch.
