Description

Just like modern-day adventurers, explore the temples of the Angkor Archaeological Park looking for the lost Apsara. While dancing in the forest, this sacred dancer has lost her way and her five most cherished pieces of jewelry.

Abenteuerliche Apsara-Jagd durch die ruhigen Tempel von Angkor

Während eines Tanzes im Wald hat eine heilige Apsara-Tänzerin sich nicht nur verlaufen, sondern auch ihre 5 am meisten geschätzten Schmuckstücke verloren. Können Sie die verlorenen Schmuckstücke und vielleicht sogar die Apsara-Tänzerin selbst wiederfinden?
Wie eine moderne Tages-Abenteuertour, nimmt diese halbtägige Schatzsuche Sie mit in das uralte und herrliche Khmer-Reich; Sie wagen sich hinaus in den dichten Dschungel, passieren grüne Reisfelder und entdecken einige der atemberaubendsten jahrhundertealten Tempelruinen.
Vom schönen Srah-Srang-Teich, über die versteckten Bat-Chum- und die geheimnisvollen Chau-Svay-Thevoda-Tempelruinen, haben Sie auch die einzigartige Möglichkeit, einige der weniger bekannten Tempel des archäologischen Parks von Angkor zu entdecken und sich mit den Stätten bekanntzumachen.
Bevor Sie die Herausforderungen angehen und starten können, werden Teams gebildet und jedes Team erhält einen ersten Hinweis und eine Karte des archäologischen Parks von Angkor.
Unterschiedliche Hinweis-Boxen, versteckt im gesamten Park, werden Ihnen und Ihrem Team helfen, den Weg der Apsara-Tänzerin zu finden, bevor Sie verloren ging. Das erste Team, welches die Apsara-Tänzerin findet und ihr all ihre am meisten geschätzten Schmuckstücke zurückbringt, gewinnt das Spiel. Behalten Sie im Hinterkopf, dass ein positiver Teamgeist und ein guter Orientierungssinn der Schlüssel zum Erfolg sind!
