As an annual tradition of the Chemical Engineering Society, the organization launched a quiz quest titled, "Magnum: The Chemical Engineering Puzzle Hunt Game" last January 23 at the left wing of the Roque Ruaño building. This new and improved gaming scheme uses the power of technology and is definitely a leap from the customary pen-and-paper system of the Dvρ (D-v-rho, a pun on “’di biro”) quiz hunt.
The game uses an external application from Play Store and App Store called NeoReader, in order to process the QR codes scattered around Chemical Engineering rooms, laboratories and corridors. Players, who may play individually or may group up to five members, are to find codes, answer the trivial questions corresponding to each code and submit their answers online. During the hunting period, internet connection is not a necessity.
A group from 5-ChEA, including Christine Bonquin, Charise Cariño and Sharmaine Sta. Ana, emerged as the winning team among the six clusters who participated in the puzzle hunt. They were able to answer 12 out of the 14 questions and were awarded with cash prize and gift certificates from sponsors.
