Play detective and win prizes!
By Faridul Anwar Farinordin

DR DAVID Robinson, an eccentric billionaire scientist is suddenly missing. At his majestic mansion, there are clues pointing to the culprits behind the mind-boggling mystery. 

This is where you come in as a detective. But after talking to his wife, maid, butler, driver, guard and gardener, you discover that everyone tells a different story.

It's all up to you to solve the puzzle ... via short message system (SMS) with Hotlink from Maxis Communications Berhad! And win RM10,000, two each of Nokia 5510 and Nokia 3310 handphones, and 10 Hotlink Top Up Tickets worth RM60 each.

Sounds both intriguing and exciting, doesn't it?

This mystery game called Chabomzie (named after the mouse who plays the role of a detective), is open to all Maxis and Hotlink subscribers.

Your mission, as Chabomzie, is to identify Dr Robinson's kidnapper. But beware of mousetraps and lurking predators along the way which could lead to your untimely "death".

And if at any time you missed a clue or "died" prematurely, you can always start again at the level you have reached because everything is automatically saved for you to continue your adventure (more details at the website).

Of course, there are friendly creatures to keep you company too. They will help you find the clues to the missing doctor. You will also find loads of cheese along the way - remember to pick them up!

There are 20 levels of this adventure game altogether, but speed is not what this is all about. Just make sure you uncover all clues and speak to the people to reveal their secret. Don't leave any stones unturned.

Since this game is played via SMS, you first need to log on to www.activateyourlife.com.my for details.

At the website, you'll learn how to set up your SMS to play the game. You will also learn about the standard commands which allow your character to move around.

As Chabomzie, navigate your way through SMS. Just type in the command; send it via SMS to move around the mansion and its surroundings (north, south, east, west), talk to other creatures and use items which you have collected.

If you think you know who kidnapped the missing doctor, as well as the other culprits who were involved in the hideous crime, it's time for you to send in your final answer via SMS ... and become the Grand Prize winner!

This whodunit game runs until Sept 1. Each SMS game command sent will be charged RM0.15. The grand prize winner will be announced on Sept 9.

A few suggestions before you start: Download the Chabomzie brochure at the website for reference while playing the game. To get a feel of the whole mystery, check out its trailer!

On top of this, YouthQuake readers will also get to win other prizes too. Extra, extra for us! All you have to do is answer two questions correctly on this page and complete the slogan.
Winners will receive 10 Hotlink top-up tickets worth RM100 and 10 worth RM60 each. Don't forget to include your personal details.

A prize-giving ceremony for the lucky readers will be held at the NST office after the names have been announced in YouthQuake, two weeks after the closing date.
