Yas Waterworld launches interactive treasure hunt

Prospective PearlMasters can join in with an interactive treasure hunt at Abu Dhabi waterpark Yas Waterworld.

The PearlMasters tournament, which started at the end of August and which runs until 22nd September, offers a quest in search of lost treasures, featuring interaction with magical sea creatures, water cannons and ancient puzzles.

Competitors take part in a real-life video game that uses cutting-edge technology to create a magical journey through the award winning waterpark. The interactive game features numerous uniquely themed Quest Items dotted around the attraction more than half of these are large-scale sculptures such as treasure chests, giant oysters, or magical sea creatures that stand alone as works of art and have elements of surprise built in to be revealed to players who successfully decipher the various clues.

The game, for a chance to win AED 5,000 (US$1,360) is offered in two languages, English and Arabic, and is perfect for guests of all ages.
