The Emperor's Dream, An Imperial Challenge

A Scavenger Hunt inside the Forbidden City

A large meteor has fallen east of the capital. On the star stone an unknown person has inscribed the words: “The Emperor will die and his land will be divided”. Since the stone fell, his majesty has not touched food because he is convinced that heaven wishes to punish him. But now, at long last, in this hour of darkness there seems to be some hope. The emperor has had a dream vision telling him to assemble a council of esteemed scholars who, by showing both wits and virtue, will be able to convince the heavens not to tumble the imperial government. We urge you to join and accept this Imperial challenge. The future and unity of the empire is at stake. Be prepared for an avalanche of questions. Inside the enormous Imperial Palace you can find the answers, but you will have to be quick- only a select few will make it.

This scavenger hunt is perfect for team buildings and school outings, instead of mindless sightseeing, it provides knowledge in an entertaining and inspiring way that will make you explore the Forbidden City and pay attention to details that you would probably not even have noticed, had it not been for a little measure of competition leading you through the chambers.
