A game for Da Nang’s students entitled “The $5 Challenge Game” took place from 9.00am on 8 November to 4.00pm on 9 November.  The event was organised by QTN Phoenix, a playground created by local students, and it was funded by the Lung Vang Company of Hai Chau District.

Eleven teams took part, and most of their team members were first and second-year students from universities and colleges across the city.  The teams were required to do business, starting with only 5 USD provided by the organisers, and to earn as much profit as possible within only 30 hours.  The participants were also allowed to appeal for more funding from local individuals and organisations before the start of the game.  The team making the highest profits from their business would be the winner.

The Lot team from the city’s University of Education won the game by selling carpets and sets of fabric potholders.  The team earned over 8 million VND profit during the 30 hours.  The creative award went to the Nylon Fashion team for its nylon shoe and motorcycle saddle seat covers, whilst the Smile team from the universities of Duy Tan and Economics was given the effective marketing award for selling junk food.
