There was a total of eight teams. Every team had 3 participants each. To select the location and theme for each team, there was a bidding session organized. All the teams were shown a PowerPoint presentation where all the themes and locations were disclosed. Every team had 100 points which they could use in whatever proportion to bid on one theme and one location they would like to buy. The team with the highest bidding for a particular theme and location was allotted the same. Each team also had an option to reserve some of the points which could be later added in their final score.

After all the teams got their respective emotions the POCs took them to their locations where the teams had to click 2 pictures and provide one caption for the same. They were told that the pictures should resonate with the given theme and location.

The teams playing the game

Every team was very competent. The judging criteria included 5 points for caption, 10 points for the picture and 5 points for the emotion's relevance to the picture. The event proved to be a resounding success. The range of activities, friendly competition, and the enthusiastic participation of students created a joyous and memorable experience.
