This year’s treasure hunt at Roskilde Festival keeps the team ”www.locationebba.com” busily occupied, for they hope to win backstage access at the Orange Stage, where they intend to do ”an ebba.”

The centre of the entire team’s attention is the inconspicuous Ebba, consisting of a funnel and a tube that allows the beers to go down faster than the traditional opening of a beer can.

“This morning we did a location-Ebba on a site hut, and our dream is to do a location-Ebba on Orange Stage. This neccesitates that the grand prize is backstage tickets – and we don’t know that yet,” Louise from the team says.

20 competing teams must solve different tasks over four days. The best go through and the weakest go out. Tough but fair.

Kitten abused for battle cry

Yesterday’s task in the treasure hunt was to devise a battle cry. The team chose to make a song from the melody of “Se min lille kattekilling, nej hvor er den sød” – look at my little kitten, it’s so cute. This line was re-written into “look at my little Ebba, it’s so full.”

”We suspect that it wasn’t the song the audience liked best – but instead the fact that we had written our team name on our buttocks, which we then mooned at the audience,” Louise says of the contest.

Who gets the refund?

Now the team must answer different questions that are sent to their mobile phone.

"We have to answer the question of who gets the refund, at that is Malawi. So now we go through to tomorrow. The tasks are quite simple,” she concludes (the correct answer is Bangladesh and India, ed.)
