Nassau, The Bahamas, April 23, 2020 – Colina Insurance Limited announced the winner of its House Hunt challenge today, concluding the online contest which began on April 13.

Rubyann Burrows was declared the winner of the five-hundred-dollar cash prize when she edged out the other contestants in the virtual scavenger hunt which ran on the company’s Facebook and Instagram pages over a ten-day period.

Clues were posted twice daily, once in the morning and then each afternoon through to April 22. At the conclusion, emails with twenty answers listed were received and audited. There were close to two hundred participants but no one scored full marks. The winner was selected sequentially as the first of a few persons with seventeen points – the highest of all the scores.

“The House Hunt was an exciting way to keep persons safely engaged during the lockdowns and curfews associated with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Maxine Seymour, Director of Corporate Communications, Colina Insurance Limited.

The virtual scavenger hunt could be played without leaving the house with clues leading to everyday household items like a pillow, sofa, remote, towel, telephone and even rice. It was a welcome distraction for those confined to their homes by the government based on the recommendation of health experts in The Bahamas and around the world.

“This contest was just as much fun for us as it was for those who participated,” said Seymour. “We are forever grateful to all those who entered the contest. Special congratulations to our winner, Rubyann Burrows.”
