Using the specially designed hash-tag of #EsCapersHK they tweeted, Instagramed and Facebooked their way around Hong Kong, solving their clues and sampling all the best of the local cuisine, history and lesser known tourist attractions.

The teams also visited Accor's Hong Kong hotels, including the budget ibis Hong Kong Central and Sheung Wan, ibis North Point, Novotel Century Hong Kong, Novotel Hong Kong Nathan Road Kowloon and Novotel Citygate Hong Kong.

Sponsored by Accor Hotels, Cathay Pacific, Garuda Indonesia and the Hong Kong Tourism Board, all unanimously voted that they wanted to return to Hong Kong for longer next time and to hold the event annually.
