Combining talent, knowledge and teamwork, a group from Stax Inc. were recently titled Winners at Conquer Colombo 2020 – Colombo’s largest scavenger hunt – on 9 February. 

Comprising members Ali Marikar-Bawa, Praveen Kanagasabai, Nicola De Mel, led by Team Captain Lorenzo Toumazos – the Stax team victoriously overcame various challenges and were rewarded return air tickets to Singapore presented by SriLankan Airlines. 

With the aim to promote teamwork and creativity among its contestants, this year’s competition was based on the theme ‘Time Travel’ – where challenges were constructed to signify the past, present and future, while highlighting the culture of Colombo laced with the city’s historic incidents, food and pre-dominant sites. 

By using a ‘work smart, not hard’ approach, the team from Stax split numerous tasks according to each member’s individual strengths in order to reach necessary objectives with maximum efficiency. Commenting on the win, team captain Lorenzo Toumazos stated, “This year’s event was far more challenging compared to last year. The clues were more cryptic and required a more analytical approach to deciphering them, however we were well prepared prior to the competition. At Stax, teamwork is crucial and tasks are delegated among diverse people with various talents. We simply used the same strategy and without a doubt, it proved to be outstanding.”
