I literally *slid* out feet first, like a baseball player sliding into the home plate. I wanted to get out of the obstacle house within 5 seconds so that I could win an instant RM 50 note and an adult ticket to Sunway Lagoon. I was at the Nestle Drumstick Most Adventurous Challenge at Sunway Pyramid and I really wanted to win!
I had analyzed how the previous people who attempted the challenge did on the LCD video screen outside. There’s a camera attached to the helmet of every person who went into the wet adventure tent and live footage was beamed to the TV.
The rules are simple – get out within 5 seconds or less.
I geared out in safety knee and elbow pads, donned a helmet with a small camera attached and got ready to dash into the tent. I had only seen one guy who managed to get out within the allocated 5 seconds…all the others took slightly longer.
It was really dark inside – I had to take a second to orient myself but I knew the countdown wouldn’t start until I actually picked up the Nestle DRUMSTICK EKSTREM CHOC.
I saw the “treasure chest” (which is actually an ice cream freezer) in front of me and rummaged around for the single drumstick inside. I looked back at the exit to plan a speedy exfil.
That was my mistake. The countdown started and I frantically swiped around, got the Nestle DRUMSTICK EKSTREM CHOC and ran hellbent for leather.
5 seconds….
I had planned to just muscle through all the obstacles – after all, I had enough safety gear on to push through the padded obstructions.
4 seconds…
That plan went south however, since I tripped on a wet patch. I had been warned that I’ll need a change of clothes since the theme of the challenge will involve water.
3 seconds…
I tried to get up quickly and was slimed with starch and powdered with several handfuls of flour.
2 seconds…
I managed to get up on one knee, with a slightly mashed Nestle DRUMSTICK EKSTREM CHOC clutched tightly in my hand – the exit was in sight!
1 second…
…and flew through the exit feet first!
It turned out that I had clocked 6 seconds so I didn’t qualify for the RM 50 note. However, everyone who attempted the Nestle Drumstick Most Adventurous Challenge got an adult ticket to Sunway Lagoon and the new Nestle DRUMSTICK EKSTREM CHOC – that’s a great consolation prize. 🙂
This challenge was held on a Sunday at Sunway Pyramid and there are still heaps of prizes to be won!

You nearly got it! Sounds like a fun event, i wouldn’t mind to join too 😀
Yeah, I nearly won the RM 50! 🙂
It’s so easy to win I can’t believe I tripped and missed a few seconds or I would have gotten it.
The event is open to public! You could have gone. No worries, there’s still a contest going on with RM 30,000 cash as first prize!
wah!!
It was a lot of fun and I nearly won RM 50 for our lunch! 🙂
Haha!
No worries, I’m still participating in the RM 30,000 cash contest!
You have a nicer built with agile limbs for such events. I am huge like gorilla and might never find my way out!!! Muahahaha
Haha! I wanted to muscle my way out! 🙂
That’s the only way to do it, to push your way out to make it in time for 5 seconds.
You’ll have no problems as long as you don’t fall or slip. There’s only one way in and one way out!
No, thank you. Broke my arm there, never went back again.
Oh, this isn’t at Sunway Lagoon, it’s at Sunway Pyramid! 🙂
I lost my digicam in Sunway Lagoon too, one of the times I went there. I lost it *during* a ride coz I entrusted it to the guy watching (people were chucking their stuff to the side where you disembark) but I couldn’t find it afterwards, someone at the same ride coming off before me must have picked it up).
This is a Nestle event, no relation to Sunway Lagoon except for the free tickets they were giving out at the public event. The main RM 30,000 contest is still on, wish me luck!
