Team Amsterdam Wins The Puig Ultimatum

Congratulations TEAM AMSTERDAM:

Edwin and Becky Dolman of Las Vegas, NV

& Miriam and Isela Ramirez of San Diego, CA

Click here to see Team Amsterdam's music video.

Team Amsterdam won with 1,344 points. They successfully completed all their Missions and are now elite International Secret Agents. How did Team Amsterdam score so many points? Here are a few of their strategies: 1) They completed all of their Missions 2) They made good use of the internet on their cell phones 3) Isela knew the majority of all the Elements on the Periodic Table 4) Once they received their Mission files they gave each Agent in their Team an assignment to complete while driving to their next Mission.

Great organization and planning paid off. The prize for winning the Scavenger Hunt was a gift certificate to The Counter.

Puig Ultimatum 2010

The Puig Ultimatum Scavenger Hunt was a lot of fun, work and expense. We are thrilled and honored to have generous friends offer their resources so that we could all enjoy the Hunt together. Your kindness will always be remembered and appreciated. Those tacos were delicious!

Also, a big round of applause to Claudia, Deanna, Evy and Ayanna who graciously agreed to help out with the Scavenger Hunt instead of participating. The Hunt would not have been the same without these girls. Another round of applause for the judges: Leticia, Claudia, Alyson and Eddie who had one of the most difficult jobs!

CONGRATS to Team Amsterdam who won the Hunt with 1,344 points. From the San Diego French and Las Vegas French: Edwin and Becky Dolman and Miriam and Isela Ramirez, you did it!

Keep checking the Puig Ultimatum Scavenger Hunt website for photos that will be posted. And ,now you have bragging rights that you participated in an International Secret Agent Training Program. You will never look at the Bourne Identity and Bourne Ultimatum the same way again. The website will always be there for you to visit and enjoy for years to come!

Miriam and Isela Team Amsterdam

If Becky, Miriam and Isela are Charlie's Angeles, I guess that makes Edwin, Charlie. Wow. Who knew that Charlie was European? That is a lot of leather these two girls have in their closet. Miriam and Isela have earned 20 points for Team Amsterdam.

Isaac and Erica - London Team

Talk about getting into character. This photo must have taken a long time to stage. A very clever black and white photo with splashes of color. Isaac and Erica have earned an additional 20 points for Team London. This is one serious group of Secret Agents.

Agent Alex and His Sidekick Megumi - Paris Team

Wow! It's so much fun to see everyone getting into the spirit of espionage. Alex and Megumi are caught in the act in their retro black and white photos. Megumi is "super kawaii" in her cocktail hat. I wonder where I can find a cute hat like that? And, I am wondering what Alex's day job really is? Court reporter, I think not. Alex and Megumi have earned 20 points for Team Paris.

Michael and Samantha Caught In The Act - Madrid Team

Michael and Samantha are caught in the act in their spy photos. I love the European backgrounds. I think Samantha took advantage of the fact that she knows I LOVE Paris and used the Eiffel Tower background. And once again proving, that a little red lipstick always does the trick. Michael and Samantha have earned an additional 20 points for their team. Awesome photos!

Brandon and Cindy Caught In The Act- London Team

Check out the spy photos for Brandon and Cindy Forde. Brandon and Cindy have earned an additional 20 points for their team. I admire the ingenuity of the toilet paper binoculars and telephone shoe. Very nice touch.

Warning - The Puig Ultimatum Is Now Complete

45 Days Until the Puig Ultimatum Scavenger Hunt 2010

Just 45 more days until the Puig Ultimatum Scavenger Hunt. The anticipation is growing and the strategies are being plotted. Here is a list of things that would be helpful for you to know about Scavenger Hunt 2010.

1. This Hunt is like no other that we've planned in the past.
2. 60 people maximum will play. (about 15 teams)
3. Over 40 people have already RSVP'd (last day to RSVP is May 8th)
4. Team assignments have begun.
5. Internet access on your cell or ipod will be very helpful the day of the Hunt. This site will be used on the day of the Hunt.
6. GPS will be golden on the day of the Hunt.
7. Taking photos is part of the Hunt so a camera will be absolutely critical.
8. Each person attending will be an International Secret Agent for the day. Think Jason Bourne.
9. Each person should plan on giving the driver of their team $3 for gas.
10. You may want to bring snacks and water for your team to share to keep you energized and hydrated during the Hunt.
11. Girls, dress cute and comfy. You will be doing a lot of moving around and in and out of the car. Don't weigh your team down with high heels.
12. Guys, dress sporty and comfy. It will likely be a hot day.
