When we were young, Chinese New Year was more than just visiting loved ones or receiving angbaos. There were also interactive festive games that we could play together with our loved ones.
One of these CNY games was Lantern Riddles (猜灯谜), where participants decipher chim Chinese verses. From there, you could probably distinguish between the CLB kids and higher-Chinese students in your midst.
While our childhood days might be well in the past, carsharing company GetGo’s CNY campaign gives us the chance to relive those memories.
From 1-6 Feb, users may try their luck at winning cash prizes and promo codes by solving daily riddles on GetGo’s website.
Just like Lantern Riddles games, players can also jio their loved ones and friends to join in the fun – you never know when some of that boomer wisdom might come in handy.
Over the 1st week of CNY, GetGo will be hosting an online campaign aptly named ‘Huat is the Answer?’.
Have a look at the first riddle that was dropped when the game launched on Monday (1 Feb).
3 people who got the answer right walked away with a $88 cash prize. Now that you roughly know what to expect, you can start flexing your mental muscles and check out today’s riddle on GetGo’s microsite here.
If you need a little help from someone, this could be the solution to avoiding awkward silences when visiting relatives whom you only see once a year.
After all, one of your cousins may possess a hidden talent for solving riddles.
The campaign will be held from 6pm-11.59pm between 1 and 6 Feb. Players will be posed with a fresh riddle every day during this window.
Those among the 100 speediest users to correctly decipher the riddle will win an $8 GetGo promo code along with a Lucky Golden Ticket that entitles players to lucky draws.
Even though subsequent users who crack the riddle will not receive the promo code, they’ll still receive their Lucky Golden Ticket for getting the right answer.
Additionally, all users who cracked the riddle will stand a chance to be 1 of 3 lucky winners to bring home a $88 cash prize. The prize winners will be announced the next day at 12pm daily on GetGo’s Facebook page and Telegram channel.
Meanwhile, the grand lucky draw will be held on 7 Feb with a top prize of $888 cash.
Players get 1 Lucky Golden Ticket for every right answer they get, but on 6 Feb there’s a 3x multiplier. This means that if you get the answer right on that day, you’ll get 3 Lucky Golden Tickets instead of 1.
