The event was a car rally, where each car had a visually impaired navigator who helped decode eight Braille language clues around South and Central Delhi. The winner was determined by the least number of kilometres travelled, rather than by speed or time. The 8 Clues were spread from Garden of Five Senses, Jamali Kamali, Khan-Khan-Tomb and others.
