Malaysian TV crew organizes scavenger hunt in Vienna
In May of this year, the WauWau Shop was the target of a scavenger hunt - or rather the WauWau pepper mill "Stella".
A team of two people were abandoned somewhere in Vienna and they were given a task in the form of a riddle, which they had to solve in a certain time. There were a few hurdles to overcome: first they had to get their bearings - the starting point in this case was the Vienna Belvedere; then they had to solve the riddle, which involved finding the WauWau showroom, identifying a "Thomas" and asking for a pepper mill named "Stella".
All not so easy, especially because they only spoke English, were not allowed to use the internet, and I think they didn't know what Pfeffermühle means in German, they thought "Stella" is the name of all mills here...
They were running out of time, and the fact that the huge flea market in Neubaugasse was taking place on the very same day was a particular gourmet treat in the search. And this handicap of course cost time.
Finally they found the WauWau showroom after they had already run past. The keywords "Thomas" and "Stella " were quickly asked and answered, overjoyed they received the mill.
The last hurdle for the successful team was the way back - but back to where? They could probably only remember one castle in Vienna as a starting point: surely that could only be Schönbrunn?
However: they made it in time! Congratulations!
