CAREEM, Pakistan’s leading app
for booking chauffeur driven cars, conducted a scavenger hunt for public of
Karachi and Lahore in celebration of Pakistan Day. Themed around photography of
local cultural & historic sites, the hunt saw participants, based on clues
provided, racing to various locations of their respective city by utilizing CAREEM’s
services.
“Although we are a Dubai based start-up,
present in 25 global cities, we are proud to say our roots can be traced back
to this country, as CAREEM’s app has been completely developed in Pakistan,”
said Junaid Iqbal, Managing Director – CAREEM Networks. “This scavenger hunt
was planned to not only celebrate this historic day, but also to inculcate in
today’s youth the need to be in touch with our roots. For this reason, we chose
historic and culturally rich sites for this competition, while the aspect of
uploading photographs of each site to social media allows us to promote these
locations across the world.”
The monuments for the
competition, as decided upon by the management, were the Quaid-e-Azam Library, Lahore
Fort, Azadi Bridge, Lahore Museum and Fortress Stadium in Lahore and Pakistan
Air Force Museum, Tomb of Abdullah Shah Ghazi, Hindu Gymkhana, Jehangir Kothari
Parade and Karachi Goan Association in Karachi.
Junaid further added, “I
congratulate the winning teams and the runners-up from both cities. We hope all
the participants enjoyed a fun-filled day out with their families and friends and
had a great Careem experience in celebrating Pakistan Day.”
36 participants from Lahore and
27 from Karachi were chosen to take part in this unique scavenger hunt through
a prior registration process. Beginning at 11 am, the participants, along with
their loved ones, went about their respective cities to take a picture of each
location, upload it to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using #CAREEMPAK
#PakHunt #(teamname) as hashtags before moving on to the next.
Team Markhor from Karachi and Team
KalaJadu from Lahore, the winners of the competition,
were able to upload pictures of all the locations by 3:00PM on Wednesday, the
competition’s deadline. The hunt concluded with a closing
ceremony at both cities, where winners and runners-up were handed prizes by
CAREEM’s Management.
