Chits were hidden at key locations throughout the college. Teams were supposed to find hidden chits with the help of clues in each of the chits. Each team was designated a color code and a volunteer who would help guide the teams and watch over them as they hunt down the chits. The volunteer would also note down the time on a stopwatch and lap it every time a team found a proper chit. Teams were only required to hunt down chits about their color code and team number, if they failed to do so they were to be corrected by the volunteers. Each chit would contain the whereabouts of the next location (in the form of a cryptic message) and eventually would lead teams to the final destination.

Eight teams were divided into two sets with each set having a different array of locations (Umbrella canteen, Gate 2, Dance Studio, Students' parking lot, etc.). Teams within a set had chits placed at jumbled locations to prevent communication between themselves and to preserve the secrecy of the locations. The volunteers were only supposed to provide a hint about the whereabouts of the chits in case the teams asked for help, by adding a minute or two to the team’s time check. Successively adding twice the time added for their previous clue. Each clue harder than the previous one.
